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 propose to extend 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 based on the advisory committee's recommendations. Extending the suspension date for the detectable warning requirements will allow the Access Board to consider the advisory committee's recommendations and available research data, and to address the detectable warning requirements in the rulemaking to revise and update ADAAG.
