Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act - Frequently Asked Questions

G.11. - Should agencies keep track of exceptions?

Yes. Agencies will need to track documented exceptions to Section 508 for future reporting to the Department of Justice (agencies should also keep track of nonavailability determinations. See section F.2, above). For this reason, agencies should establish a method of collecting and reporting that information to the Department of Justice for their biennial reports. An agency's CIO office/Section 508 Coordinator can provide more information on the agency's processes for reporting and documenting exceptions. See the Section 508 web site, www.section508.gov, to identify individual agency coordinators.
