36 CFR Part 1193 Telecommunications Act (Section 255) Accessibility Guidelines - Preamble

See also: Final Rule published to the Federal Register 1/18/17 that jointly updates requirements for ICT covered by Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act and Section 255 of the Communication Act.

Paragraph (f) Operable with limited reach and strength (Section-by-Section Analysis)

Comment. In the NPRM the Board had asked (Question 6) whether the ADAAG provisions for controls and operating mechanisms and reach ranges should be included here. The few comments on this issue felt those provisions might be too specific for these guidelines.

Response. The ADAAG provisions have not been added to these paragraphs but have been included in the appendix for reference, with the notation that some customer premises equipment might be covered by the ADA and required to comply with ADAAG.
