Justice Department
The Department of Justice (Department) is issuing this notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in order to: Adopt enforceable accessibility standards under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) that are "consistent with the minimum guidelines and requirements issued by the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board" (Access Board); and perform periodic reviews of any rule judged to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities, and a regulatory assessment of the costs and benefits of any significant regulatory action as required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act, as amended by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA). In this NPRM, the Department proposes to adopt Parts I and III of the Americans with Disabilities Act and Architectural Barriers Act Accessibility Guidelines (2004 ADAAG), which were published by the Access Board on July 23, 2004. Prior to its adoption by the Department, the 2004 ADAAG is effective only as guidance to the Department; it has no legal effect on the public until the Department issues a final rule adopting the revised ADA Standards (proposed standards). Concurrently with the publication of this NPRM, the Department is publishing an NPRM to amend its title III regulation, which covers public accommodations and commercial facilities, in order to adopt the 2004 ADAAG as its proposed standards for title III entities, to make amendments to the title III regulation for consistency with title II, and to make amendments that reflect the collective experience of sixteen years of enforcement of the ADA.
