Supplementary Information
In September 1994, the Access Board established an advisory committee to review the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) for buildings and facilities. 36 CFR part 1191, appendix A. The advisory committee will make recommendations to the Access Board for updating ADAAG to ensure that the guidelines remain a state-of-the-art document which is generally consistent with technological developments and changes in national standards and model codes, and continue to meet the needs of individuals with disabilities. The advisory committee is scheduled to complete its work in September 1996. The advisory committee will meet on the dates and at the location announced in this notice. At the meeting on July 7, 1996, the advisory committee will discuss the following items which were tabled from previous meetings: work areas (ADAAG 4.1.1(3)) and reach ranges (ADAAG 4.2 and 4.27). There will be a public comment period before each item for persons interested in the item to present their views to the advisory committee. The advisory committee will also discuss the recommendations of a joint work group of the advisory committee and the ANSI A117 Committee regarding harmonization of ADAAG and the A117.1 standard. The advisory committee is expected to begin this discussion on the afternoon of July 7, 1996 and continue the discussion on July 8 and 9, 1996. There will be a public comment period each day before the advisory committee discusses the harmonization items. The meetings are open to the public. The meeting site is accessible to individuals with disabilities.
