Americans With Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines; Detectable Warnings

The Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (Access Board), the Department of Justice, and the Department of Transportation are extending the suspension of the requirements for detectable warnings at curb ramps, hazardous vehicular areas, and reflecting pools in the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) from July 26, 1996 to July 26, 1998. The Access Board has established an advisory committee to conduct a comprehensive review of ADAAG, including the detectable warning requirements, and plans to initiate rulemaking to revise and update ADAAG after the advisory committee issues a final report with its recommendations. The suspension of the detectable warning requirements is extended so that the Access Board can consider the advisory committee's recommendations and address the detectable warning requirements in the rulemaking to revise and update ADAAG.
