Courthouse Access Advisory Committee 

In February of this year, the Access 

Board announced that it will undertake 

outreach activities that highlight 

accessibility within a particular sphere 

or focus area. Outreach efforts will aim 

to increase awareness of a particular 

aspect of accessibility through 

partnerships with interested 

stakeholders and the development and 

distribution of information and 

guidance materials. The goal of this 

program is to increase the visibility of 

different facets of accessibility in a 

manner that supplements the Board’s 

technical assistance and training 

programs, builds partnerships with 

other entities, improves compliance 

with access requirements, and 

showcases best practices for accessible 

design. In choosing access to 

courthouses as its first focus topic, the 

Board gave priority to an area that has 

been problematic or not well 

understood and where supplementary 

guidance is needed. Access to courts 

was highlighted in May when the U.S. 

Supreme Court ruled that individuals 

may sue states under Title II of the 

Americans with Disabilities Act for 

failing to provide access to courts.1

As part of the outreach efforts on 

courthouse accessibility, the Access 

Board is establishing a Federal advisory 

committee to advise the Access Board 

on issues related to the accessibility of 

courthouses, particularly courtrooms, 

including best practices, design 

solutions, promotion of accessible 

features, educational opportunities, and 

the gathering of information on existing 

barriers, practices, recommendations, 

and guidelines. 

On June 25, 2004, the Access Board 

published a notice of intent to establish 

an advisory committee to advise the 

Board on issues related to the 

accessibility of courthouses covered by 

the Americans with Disabilities Act of 

1990 and the Architectural Barriers Act 

of 1968. (69 FR 35578) The notice 

identified the interests that are likely to 

be significantly affected by issues 

relating to courthouse accessibility: 

courthouse designers; judges and court 

administrators; Federal, State and local 

government agencies; standards-setting 

organizations; organizations 

representing the access needs of 

individuals with disabilities; and other 

persons affected by courthouse 

accessibility. 

Over 60 nominations were submitted. 

Over one third of the applications were 

from individuals or organizations 

representing persons with disabilities. 

Another third of the applications were 

from State and local governments; six 

applications were from Federal entities; 

several applications were from major 

code groups and the remainder were 

from architects, lift manufacturers and 

distributors, or others with an interest in 

courthouse accessibility. For the reasons 

stated in the notice of intent, the Access 

Board has determined that establishing 

the Courthouse Access Advisory 

Committee is necessary and in the 

public interest. The Access Board has 

appointed 31 members to the Committee 

from the following organizations:

Accessibility Equipment Manufacturers 

Association, 

Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, 

American Institute of Architects, 

Board of Governors, American Bar 

Association, 

California Administrative Office of the 

Courts, 

Committee on Persons with Disabilities 

in the Legal Profession, Arizona State 

Bar Association, 

Conference of State Court 

Administrators, 

Cook Co. Government Office of Capital 

Planning and Policy, 

David Calvert, PA, 

Disabilities Law Project, 

General Services Administration, 

HDR Architecture, Inc., 

Hellmuth, Obata and Kassabaum, Inc., 

International Code Council, 

Michael Graves & Associates, 

Montana Advocacy Program, 

National Association for Court 

Management, 

National Center for State Courts, 

National Fire Protection Association, 

New Hampshire Governor’s 

Commission on Disability, 

Ninth Circuit for the U.S. Courts, 

Paralyzed Veterans of America, 

Phillips Swager Associates, 

Securities and Facilities Committee, 

United States Judicial Conference, 

Self Help for Hard of Hearing, 

T.L. Shield & Associates, 

Tenth Judicial Circuit Court of Florida, 

U.S. Department of Justice, 

United Spinal Association, 

Vertical Mobility Division, and 

Western Law Center for Disability 

Rights.

The Access Board regrets being 

unable to accommodate all requests for 

membership on the Committee. In order 

to keep the Committee to a size that can 

be effective, it was necessary to limit 

membership. It is also desirable to have 

balance among members of the 

Committee representing different 

interests, such as disability 

organizations and court administration. 

The membership of this Committee 

represents each of these vested interests. 

Committee meetings will be open to 

the public and interested persons can 

attend the meetings and communicate 

their views. Members of the public will 

have an opportunity to address the 

Committee on issues of interest to them 

and the Committee. Historically, 

advisory committees establish 

subcommittees to address specific 

issues. Members of groups or 

individuals who are not members of the 

Committee may have an opportunity to 

participate on these subcommittees. The 

Access Board believes that participation 

of this kind can be very valuable for the 

advisory committee process. 

The meeting will be held at a site 

accessible to individuals with 

disabilities. Real-time captioning will be 

provided. Individuals who require sign 

language interpreters should contact 

Elizabeth Stewart by October 22, 2004. 

Decisions with respect to future 

meetings will be made at the first 

meeting. Notices of future meetings will 

be published the Federal Register.

[Docket No. 040907254–4254–01] 

Current Industrial Reports—MQ315A, 

Apparel

AGENCY: Bureau of the Census, 

Commerce.

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

60610 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 196 / Tuesday, October 12, 2004 / Notices 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of the Census 

(Census Bureau) proposes to expand its 

Current Industrial Reports survey, 

MQ315A, Apparel, to include the 

production of socks. The survey 

currently provides estimates for a 

number of types of garments but does 

not include socks. Because of interest 

among some policymakers to measure 

the economic impact of imported socks 

on domestic producers, the Census 

Bureau anticipates appropriated funds 

being made available in its Fiscal Year 

2005 budget for the collection of data on 

socks. If funds are made available, we 

will add socks to the survey for the 2004 

reference year and manufacturers of 

socks will be asked to provide data on 

the quantity and value of socks they 

shipped, by fiber type and size category. 

If funds are not made available, we will 

not expand the survey to include 

producers of socks but will conduct the 

survey with its current definitions and 

coverage. We expect the survey mailing 

to occur at the end of December 2004.

DATES: Written comments on this notice 

must be submitted on or before 

November 12, 2004.

ADDRESSES: Direct all written comments 

to the Director, U.S. Census Bureau, 

Room 2049, Federal Building 3, 

Washington, DC 20233.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Judy 

M. Dodds, Assistant Division Chief, 

Census and Related Programs, 

Manufacturing and Construction 

Division, on (301) 763–4587 or by email at judy.m.dodds@census.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Census Bureau is authorized to conduct 

surveys necessary to furnish current 

data on subjects covered by the major 

censuses authorized by Title 13, United 

States Code (U.S.C.), Section 182. Data 

collected in the MQ315A survey is 

within the general scope, type, and 

character of inquiries covered in the 

Economic Census authorized by Title 

13, U.S.C., Section 131. The Census 

Bureau is also authorized to collect and 

publish quarterly statistics relating to 

domestic apparel and textile industries 

(Title 13, U.S.C., Section 81). The 

MQ315A is conducted quarterly but has 

an annual mailing which normally 

collects information from small 

producers. For survey 2004 we would 

include all producers of socks in this 

annual supplement to the quarterly 

survey. 

Published estimates from the 

MQ315A, Apparel, are used by a variety 

of private business and trade 

associations. They are a major source of 

information about industries that may 

be impacted by foreign trade. At the 

present time, manufacturers of socks are 

not included in the MQ315A survey. 

This one-time expansion of MQ315A to 

include socks will result in quantity and 

value data for policymakers studying 

the industry. 

Taking into consideration any 

comments we receive, we will make the 

decision whether or not to expand the 

survey for 2004 based on our budget 

status at the time of the survey mailing 

in December. As stated previously, if 

funds are not available and we decide 

not to expand the survey, we will 

conduct the annual supplemental 

mailing of the MQ315A, Apparel, with 

its existing OMB approval using the 

current definitions and industry 

coverage. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

Notwithstanding any other provision 

of law, no person is required to respond 

to, nor shall a person be subject to a 

penalty for failure to comply with, a 

collection of information subject to 

requirements of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (PRA), unless that 

collection of information displays a 

current valid Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) control number. In 

accordance with the PRA, 44 U.S.C., 

Chapter 35, the OMB approved the 

Current industrial Reports—‘‘MQ315A, 

Apparel’’, under OMB Control Number 

0607–0395. The total burden hours 

associated with OMB Control Number 

0607–0395 are 14,956 hours. We will 

provide copies of each form upon 

written request to the Director, U.S. 

Census Bureau, Washington, DC 20233–

0001.

Dated: October 5, 2004.

Director, Bureau of the Census.
