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

Comment. Faucets, including hand-operated metering faucets, must remain open for at least 10 seconds (606.4). The proposed rule referred to these as "self-closing" faucets. Commenters indicated that "metering" is a descriptor that is more accurate and consistent with plumbing codes.

Response. The reference to "self-closing" faucets has been replaced with "metering" faucets in the final rule.
