36 CFR Part 1193 Telecommunications Act (Section 255) Accessibility Guidelines - Preamble
Compatible (Section-by-Section Analysis)
Subpart D contains the minimum requirements for compatibility with existing peripheral devices or specialized customer premises equipment commonly used by individuals with disabilities to achieve access. Therefore, the term compatible is defined as meeting the provisions of Subpart D.
Comment. One commenter noted that the term "compatible" is too nebulous and broad and recommended substituting the word interoperable for compatible.
Response. The term "compatible" is taken directly from the statute. Therefore, the term has been retained in the final rule.
