Final Regulatory Assessment and Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis Final Rule - Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability by Public Accommodations - Movie Theaters; Movie Captioning and Audio Description

Although some manufacturers include installation as part of purchasing the equipment package, some movie theaters may elect to install the equipment using internal staff.  In addition, some movie theaters may need to hire a third party to install captioning and audio description equipment in its auditoriums.  Therefore, this could result in an additional upfront cost after equipment acquisition.  For the purpose of the primary analysis, the cost estimation assumes installation costs are 3 percent of the total equipment acquisition costs for all auditoriums.  The installation costs in the primary analysis are presented in Section 4.1.2.
