I received notification that the Dept. of Education, Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) is requesting a continuation of the current method it uses to collect data from the Older Individuals Who Are Blind (OIB) program. It includes for those who have had to deal with it, the famous form 70B. I consulted with B.J. Lejeune at MSU-NRTC. She is the OIB specialist there. B.J. informs me lots of suggestions and comments have been sent to RSA to improve the data collection system and that RSA is working on it. However, since the regulation on the current system is expiring, the regulation request is simply to extend the current system. I recommend AER makes no comment as it appears everyone is working in good faith to eventually improve the system and the extension will give RSA needed breathing room. Tony Anthony R.
