Title: Design and Construction Requirements; Compliance With ANSI A117.1 Standards (FR-5006)
Abstract: This rule would amend HUD's regulations with respect to the design and construction requirements of the Fair Housing Act and its amendments by updating and clarifying the references of the American Standards Institute (ANSI) building standards for accessibility. ANSI standards are the technical standards for the design of housing facilities that are accessible to persons with disabilities. These are commonly known as the ANSI A117.1 standards. Compliance with the ANSI A117.1 building standards for accessibility satisfies the accessibility requirements of the Fair Housing Act and its amendments. The rule would update the references to the ANSI A117.1 building standards to adopt the 2003 edition of the standards. This rule would also clarify that compliance with the appropriate requirements of the 1986, 1992, and 1998 editions suffice to comply with the requirements of the Fair Housing Act.
