View Rule

This rulemaking would amend the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board's existing accessibility guidelines under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) (Titles II and III) and the Architectural Barriers Act (ABA), located at 36 CFR parts 1190, 1191, 1192, to include guidelines for the accessibility of fixed self-service transaction machines, including self-service kiosks, information transaction machines, and point-of-sale devices. The U.S. Department of Transportation and U.S. Department of Justice are expected, via separate rulemakings, to adopt these amended guidelines as enforceable standards for devices and equipment covered by the ADA. In addition, the final supplemental guidelines would be adopted for enforcement by the standard-setting agencies under the ABA. Other agencies, such as the Department of Health and Human Services, may elect to include these accessibility guidelines for self-service transaction machines in their regulations for compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.
