Title: Accessibility Standards for Design, Construction, and Alteration of Certain Facilities Financed With Public Funds (FR-5208) 
Abstract: The U.S. Agricultural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (Access Board), of which HUD is a voting member, has updated its accessibility guidelines for buildings and facilities covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Architectural Barriers Act (ABA). The guidelines cover new construction and alterations and serve as the basis for enforceable standards issued by other Federal agencies, including HUD. HUD, as one of the four standard setting agencies, must adopt standards that are equivalent to or stricter than those guidelines issued by the Access Board. Thus, HUD must both update its regulations for the ABA at 24 CFR 40 and 41, but must also update/replace its Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS) with standards equivalent to or stricter that the Access Board's guidelines.
