“The notice lists Responses per Respondent: 1 alongside Frequency: Each semester or other period. DFAS defines the frequency as "Each semester or other period in which the school year is divided", yet sets Responses per Respondent: 1. In post-secondary education, an academic year consists of either 2 semesters or 3–4 quarters. DFAS's own frequency definition ("Each semester") directly contradicts its "1 response per respondent" metric, mathematically understating annual responses and burden hours by at least 50%”
