28 CFR Parts 35 and 36, Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability by Public Accommodations - Movie Theaters; Movie Captioning and Audio Description (NPRM)

V. Other Issues

Several commenters asked the Department to include a requirement that movie theaters maintain all equipment needed to provide captioning and audio description.  The Department notes that § 36.211 of the title III regulation already requires that public accommodations “maintain in operable working condition those features of facilities and equipment that are required to be readily accessible to and usable by persons with disabilities by the Act or this part.”  The Department does not believe a separate requirement is necessary for equipment needed to provide captioning and audio description.
