36 CFR Parts 1190 and 1191 ADA and ABA Accessibility Guidelines - Preamble (Discussion of Comments and Changes)

Comment. Consistent with the original ADAAG, the proposed rule defined "common use," in part, as spaces or elements "made available for a restricted group of people." Comments considered the reference to "restricted" as a source of confusion and misinterpretation. In addition, it was suggested that "group" be replaced by a specific number.

Response. As revised, the definition of "common use" refers to "interior or exterior circulation paths, rooms, spaces, or elements that are not for public use and are made available for the shared use of two or more people."
