36 CFR Part 1193 Telecommunications Act (Section 255) Accessibility Guidelines - Preamble

See also: Final Rule published to the Federal Register 1/18/17 that jointly updates requirements for ICT covered by Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act and Section 255 of the Communication Act.

Accessible (Section-by-Section Analysis)

Subpart C contains the minimum requirements for accessibility. Therefore, the term accessible is defined as meeting the provisions of Subpart C.

Comment. A few commenters suggested making the definition more general by using a definition which did not refer to Subpart C.

Response. Using a more general definition would make the term "accessible" subjective and potentially allow the term to be used to describe products which do not comply with these guidelines. Therefore, the definition has not been changed.
