The U.S. Department of Justice has formally expressed its intent to propose
new federal
regulations implementing the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) to address the access needs of people with
disabilities with
respect to web sites, video description, and
equipment, including so-called electronic and information technology, among
other
issues. The Justice Department continues to seek
input from the public about these matters, and they need to hear from all of
us.

2011.

an attachment. To offer comment on each area of proposed Justice Department
action,
