[blindLaw] REMINDER: U.S. Access Board Seeks Public Comment on Accessibility Guidelines for Self-Service Transaction Machines

Fri Nov 11 14:57:55 UTC 2022

The Access Board sets Rehab Act § 508 & ADA standards — i.e. regulations
and guidelines.

They're a tiny specialist agency, sorta like the OGIS is for FOIA. Setting
accessibility standards & guidelines (and consulting on how to implement
them) is more or less literally all they do.

Their standards are mandatory for all Federal agencies, but mainly apply at
the time of acquisition or building new stuff — there's usually some sort
of grandfather clause to allow continued use of current equipment. I don't
recall offhand if the standards are also mandatory for private
organizations taking Federal money (i.e. Rehab Act) or for ADA in general.

For the computer-type standards, see
https://www.access-board.gov/ict/#E101-general .

See the website menu for standards on other stuff like physical
infrastructure (e.g. ramps, braille signs, tactile paving, etc), plane
access, autonomous vehicles, etc. Overview is here:
https://www.access-board.gov/ri/

Their info page on self service translation machines is here:

Sincerely,
Sai
President, Fiat Fiendum, Inc., a 501(c)(3)
