could the material be better organized?
*Do the sections clearly state the requirements? If not, how could any
section be more clearly stated?
*Do the sections contain technical language or jargon that is not clear?
If so, what language requires clarification?
*Would a different format (grouping and order of sections, use of headings,
paragraphing) make the sections easier to understand? If so, what changes
to the format would ease understanding?
*Would dividing any section into two or more shorter sections be better?
If so, what sections should be changed?

prior to final adoption by the commission.
