36 CFR Part 1191 ADA and ABA Accessibility Guidelines for Emergency Transportable Housing Units

F202.6.5.8 Residential Dwelling Units
F202.6.5.9 Emergency Transportable Housing Units with Mobility Features
F202.6.5.10 Emergency Transportable Housing Units with Communication Features

The ABA applies to facilities leased by federal agencies. In Appendix C, the scoping requirements for facilities leased by federal agencies are contained in section F202.6. There are no scoping requirements for leased facilities in Appendix B.40 The final rule revises section F202.6.5.8 to require residential dwelling units, other than emergency transportable housing units, leased by federal agencies to comply with the scoping requirements in F233 for residential facilities. The final rule adds new sections F202.6.5.9 and F206.5.9.10 to address emergency transportable housing units installed on existing commercial sites leased by federal agencies. A commercial site is a privately-owned facility containing factory-built housing that is customarily leased for a fee and that is fully equipped to accommodate emergency transportable housing units. Where emergency transportable housing units are installed on existing commercial sites, sections F202.6.5.9 and F206.5.9.10 require entities to provide emergency transportable housing units with mobility features and emergency transportable housing units with communication features as determined by a needs assessment conducted by the entity providing the emergency transportable housing units.

 

40. Public entities subject to Title II of the ADA are required to comply with program accessibility requirements in existing facilities. See 28 CFR 35.150. Private entities subject to Title III of the ADA are required to comply with barrier removal requirements in existing facilities. See 28 CFR 36.304.
