28 CFR Part 36 Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability by Public Accommodations and in Commercial Facilities NPRM: Preamble (2008 Title III NPRM Preamble)

"1991 Standards" and "2004 ADAAG" (Section-by-Section Analysis)

The Department is proposing to add to the proposed regulation definitions of both the "1991 Standards" and the "2004 ADAAG."  The term "1991 Standards" refers to the currently enforceable ADA Standards for Accessible Design, codified at 28 CFR part 36, App. A.  The term "2004 ADAAG" refers to Parts I and III of the Americans with Disabilities Act and Architectural Barriers Act Accessibility Guidelines, which were issued by the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board on July 23, 2004, at 69 FR 44084 (to be codified at 36 CFR 1191), and which the Department is proposing to adopt in this NPRM.  These terms are included in the definitions section for ease of reference.
