36 CFR Part 1194 - Proposed Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Standards and Guidelines NPRM - Preamble

406 Standard Connections (Section-by-Section Analysis)

This is an introductory section.

406.1 General (Section-by-Section Analysis)

This section proposes that, where ICT provides data connections used for input and output, at least one of each type of data connection conform to industry standard non-proprietary formats, e.g., jacks and plugs. This proposed section closely corresponds to § 1194.26(d) of the existing 508 Standards and § 1193.51(a) of the existing 255 Guidelines. The intent of this provision is to support compatibility with assistive technology hardware.
