24 CFR Part 8 Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability in Federally Assisted Programs and Activities - Notice: Instructions for use of alternative accessibility standard

Additions—Section 202.2 of the 2010 Standards

Section 202.2 of the 2010 Standards contains scoping requirements which may, in certain situations, afford less accessibility for individuals with disabilities than is currently provided by HUD’s rules at 24 CFR part 8 and UFAS. Because the Department is precluded from permitting the use of an alternative standard that might reduce accessibility for individuals with disabilities in housing settings without notice and comment rulemaking, HUD is not permitting use of the scoping requirements for additions at section 202.2 of the 2010 Standards.
