Regulations.gov Thursday, May 21, 2015 Unified Agenda
 Because publication in the Federal Register is mandated for the regulatory flexibility agendas 

required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 602), the Department of Justice’s printed agenda 

entries include only: 

 

(1) Rules that are in the Agency’s regulatory flexibility agenda, in accordance with the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act, because they are likely to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number 

of small entities; and 

(2) any rules that the Agency has identified for periodic review under section 610 of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. 

 Printing of these entries is limited to fields that contain information required by the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act’s Agenda requirements. Additional information on these entries is available in the Unified 

Agenda published on the Internet. 

Dated: April 8, 2015.

Title: Revising the Reparole Guidelines for Releasing Parole Violators

Abstract: The Parole Commission is considering amending its guidelines for determining how much prison time a parole or

supervised release visitor should serve for violations of release conditions. The amendments would likely reduce prison time for

Title: Uniform Forms for Periodic Reports for Chapter 11 Cases

Abstract: 

28 U.S.C. 589b authorizes the Attorney General to issue rules requiring uniform forms for periodic reports by debtors in

possession and trustees in chapter 11 cases. These reports are to be used by the United States Trustee Program to facilitate

oversight and monitoring of chapter 11 cases as well as to provide information to the courts, creditors, and public about the

debtor's operations while under chapter 11 reorganization. Among the purposes for uniform forms is to accomplish the collection

of data required by Congress that will be "in the best interests of debtors and creditors and in the public interest in reasonable

and adequate information to evaluate the efficiency and practicality of the Federal bankruptcy system." 28 U.S.C. 589b(c).

Title: Determination That an Individual Shall Not Be Deemed an Employee of the Public Health Service

Abstract: 

This rule would implement the Attorney General's authority under 42 U.S.C. 233(i) to determine that an individual health care

provider shall not be deemed an employee of the Public Health Service for purposes of 42 U.S.C. 233(g) and the Federal Tort

Claims Act. Section 233(i) of title 42 provides that the Attorney General, in consultation with the Secretary of Health and Human

Services, may on the record determine, after notice and an opportunity for a full and fair hearing, that an individual physician or

other licensed or certified health care practitioner who is an officer, employee, or contractor of an entity described in 42 U.S.C.

233(g)(4) shall not be deemed to be an employee of the Public Health Service for purposes of 42 U.S.C. 233 if "treating such

individual as such an employee would expose the Government to an unreasonably high degree of risk of loss."

Title: Amendments to Application Procedures and Criteria for Approval; Credit Counseling Agencies and Debtor Education

Providers

Abstract: 

This rule would amend the current regulations regarding procedures and criteria United States Trustees use when determining

whether applicants seeking to become and remain approved nonprofit budget and credit counseling agencies ("credit counseling

agencies") or providers of a financial management course ("debtor education providers") satisfy all the prerequisites of the

United States Code and applicable Executive Office for United States Trustees regulations. Under current law, an individual may

not be a debtor under title 11 of the United States Code, unless during the 180-day period preceding the date of filing a

bankruptcy petition, the individual receives adequate counseling from a credit counseling agency that is approved by the United

States Trustee. Additionally, individual debtors must participate in debtor education before receiving a discharge of debts. The

amendments would clarify procedures relative to agency and provider obligations toward individuals with limited English

proficiency and clarify notice requirements when agencies and providers are involved in certain customer protection actions.

Title: Conforming STOP Violence Against Women Formula Grant Program Regulations to Statutory Change

Abstract: 

11

Regulations.gov Thursday, May 21, 2015 Unified Agenda
This rule proposes to amend the regulations for the STOP (Services Training Officers Prosecutors) Violence Against Women

Formula Grant Program (STOP Program) and the general provisions governing Office on Violence Against Women (OVW)

Programs to comply with statutory changes and reduce repetition of statutory language. The Violence Against Women Act

(VAWA) was enacted on September 13, 1994, by title IV of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, Public

Law No. 103-322, 108 Stat. 1796. The STOP Program is codified at 42 U.S.C. 3796gg through 3796gg-5 and 3796gg-8. The

final rule for this program, found at 28 CFR part 90, subpart B, was promulgated on April 18, 1995. General provisions affecting

OVW programs were also promulgated on April 18, 1995, and are found at 28 CFR part 90, subpart A. This rule proposes to

amend the general provisions and the regulations governing the STOP Program to comply with the amendments to these

programs enacted by the Violence Against Women Act of 2000 (VAWA 2000), Division B of the Victims of Trafficking and

Violence Protection Act of 2000, Public Law No. 106-386, 114 Stat. 1464 (Oct. 28, 2000), the Violence Against Women and

Department of Justice Reauthorization Act of 2005 (VAWA 2005), Public Law No. 109-162, 119 Stat. 2960 (January 5, 2006),

and the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013 (VAWA 2013), Public Law No. 113-4, 127 Stat. 54 (March 7,

2013). These proposed changes to the regulations incorporate the statutory changes, make minor technical corrections,

Title: Procedures for Suspension and Removal of Panel Trustees and Standing Trustees

Abstract: 

The Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 ("BAPCPA") (Pub. L. No. 109-8) amended 28 U.S.C.

586(d)(2) to clarify that standing trustees and panel trustees who cease to be assigned to cases filed under title 11, United

States Code, may obtain judicial review of the final agency decision by commencing an action in the district court after first

exhausting all available administrative remedies, which, if the trustee so elects, shall also include an administrative hearing on

the record. The Attorney General is directed to prescribe procedures to implement these changes. Pursuant to an order dated

October 14, 2005, the Attorney General delegated his authority to promulgate rules necessary to implement the provisions of

the BAPCPA that relate to the administration and supervision of bankruptcy cases by the United States Trustee Program to the

Director of the Executive Office for United States Trustees. 28 CFR 58.6 currently sets forth the procedures for suspension and

removal of panel trustees and standing trustees. The Executive Office for United States Trustees is amending these procedures

to reflect the changes required by 28 U.S.C. 586(d)(2) under the authority delegated by the Attorney General in his October 14,

2005, order.

Title: Special Registration to Engage in the Practice of Telemedicine

Abstract: 

The Ryan Haight Online Pharmacy Consumer Protection Act of 2008 (the Act) (Pub. L. 110-425) was enacted on October 15,

2008, and amended the Controlled Substances Act by adding various provisions to prevent the illegal distribution and

dispensing of controlled substances by means of the Internet. Among other things, the Act required an in-person medical

evaluation as a prerequisite to prescribing or otherwise dispensing controlled substances by means of the Internet, except in the

case of practitioners engaged in the practice of telemedicine. The definition of the ‘‘practice of telemedicine’’ includes seven

distinct categories that involve circumstances in which the prescribing practitioner might be unable to satisfy the Act’s in-person

medical evaluation requirement yet nonetheless has sufficient medical information to prescribe a controlled substance for a

legitimate medical purpose in the usual course of professional practice. One specific category within the Act’s definition of the

‘‘practice of telemedicine’’ includes ‘‘a practitioner who has obtained from the [DEA Administrator] a special registration under

[21 U.S.C. 831(h)].’’ 21 U.S.C. 802(54)(E). The Act also specifies certain criteria that DEA must consider when evaluating an

application for such a registration. However, the Act contemplates that DEA must issue regulations to effectuate this special

registration provision. The DEA proposes to amend the registration requirements to permit such a special registration.

Title: Self-Certification and Employee Training of Mail-Order Distributors of Scheduled Listed Chemical Products

Abstract: 

This action would finalize without change the interim-final regulations promulgated under the Combat Methamphetamine

Enhancement Act of 2010 (MEA) which established new requirements for mail-order distributors of scheduled listed chemical

products to self-certify to the DEA in order to sell those products at retail. Sales at retail are those sales intended for personal

use; mail-order distributors that sell scheduled listed chemical products not intended for personal use are not affected by the

MEA. Under the MEA, this self-certification must include a statement that the mail-order distributor understands each of the

requirements that apply under part 1314 and agrees to comply with these requirements. Additionally, the MEA requires mailorder distributors to train their employees prior to self-certification. The DEA would promulgate this final rule to finalize

rulemaking activities incorporating the statutory provisions of the MEA and make its regulations consistent with MEA

requirements and other existing regulations related to self-certification.

Abstract:

Medical Use Licenses or Permits and Administering the Drug Product DaTscan TM

Abstract: 

This final rule will finalize the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) regulations to waive the requirement of registration for

Title: Reduction in Sentence for Medical Reasons

Abstract: 

The Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) proposes changes to its regulations on compassionate release, including: (1) changing the title

to "Reduction in Sentence in Extraordinary and Compelling Circumstances"; (2) deleting language which indicates that the

Bureau will only allow reductions in sentence for circumstances "which could not reasonably have been foreseen by the court at

the time of sentencing"; (3) indicating that, when considering an inmate for reduction in sentence, the General Counsel will

solicit the opinion of the United States Attorney's Office that prosecuted the inmate; and (4) making an alteration that allows

eligibility of District of Columbia Code felony offenders (D.C. Code felony offenders) for reduction in sentence under Bureau

regulations.

Title: Drug Abuse Treatment Program

Abstract: 

In this document, the Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) proposes revisions to its regulations on the Residential Drug Abuse Treatment

Program (RDAP) to reflect changes in the program which would benefit inmates and allow for greater inmate participation in the

program. We propose to remove the requirement for RDAP written testing, as it is more appropriate to assess an inmate's

progress through clinical evaluation. We also propose to remove language which would automatically expel inmates who have

committed certain prohibited acts. In addition, the Bureau proposes to limit the time frame for which we will review prior

offenses for early release eligibility purposes to 10 years prior to the date of imposition of the Federal sentence. Finally, we

propose to alter the regulation to narrow language relating to early release eligibility.

Title: Classification and Program Review

Abstract: 

In this document, the Bureau of Prisons (Bureau) proposes to revise its regulations on classification and program review to

remove unnecessary regulations and to ensure that classification and program review procedures adequately address inmate

needs. This proposed rule also adds a new type of review, the "progress review." A progress review will be an abbreviated

program review meant to focus on an inmate's programming activities. This shortened version of the more thorough program

review will facilitate more efficiently-used staff and inmate time, in that it will primarily focus on any new or changed aspects of

an inmate's initial classification and participation in recommended programs. Inmates who have 36 months or more until their

projected release date will receive alternating program and progress reviews at least once every 180 calendar days, a practice

that will allow the Bureau to more efficiently utilize staff time and resources. The process will also allow staff to devote more

time and resources to the reviews of inmates who are closer to their release dates, enabling the Bureau to better fulfill its

mission to prepare inmates for eventual release into communities within the United States.

Title: Application of the Serious Nonpolitical Crime Bar to Asylum and Withholding of Removal for Recruitment or Use of Child

Soldiers

Abstract: 

The Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security are planning to propose to amend their respective regulations

governing eligibility for asylum and withholding of removal to implement the Child Soldiers Accountability Act of 2008 (CSAA).

The CSAA establishes a criminal offense for the recruitment or use of child soldiers, establishes grounds of inadmissibility and

deportability for aliens who have engaged in such recruitment or use, and provides that an alien who is inadmissible or

deportable under these grounds "shall be considered an alien with respect to whom there are serious reasons to believe that he

or she committed a serious nonpolitical crime" for purposes of asylum and withholding of removal.

Title: Motions To Reopen Removal, Deportation, or Exclusion Proceedings Based Upon a Claim of Ineffective Assistance of

Counsel

Abstract: 

39

Regulations.gov Thursday, May 21, 2015 Unified Agenda
The Department of Justice (Department) is planning to propose to amend the regulations of the Executive Office for Immigration

Review (EOIR) by establishing procedures for the filing and adjudication of motions to reopen removal, deportation, and

exclusion proceedings based upon a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel. This proposed rule is in response to Matter of

Compean, Bangaly & J-E-C-, 25 I&N Dec. 1 (A.G. 2009), in which the Attorney General directed EOIR to develop such

regulations. The Department is also planning to propose to amend the EOIR regulations that provide that ineffective assistance

of counsel may constitute extraordinary circumstances that may excuse the failure to file an asylum application within one year

after the date of arrival in the United States.

Title: Implementation of Section 235 of the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008;

Treatment of Unaccompanied Alien Children

Abstract: 

The Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), and the Department of Justice,

Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), are planning to propose to amend their respective regulations to implement

section 235 of the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008, which provides new provisions

for unaccompanied alien children in asylum and immigration proceedings. Through this joint rule, both Departments are

proposing to amend their separate regulations to reflect that USCIS has initial jurisdiction over any asylum application filed by an

unaccompanied alien child. The Departments also plan to propose to add new special procedures for unaccompanied alien

children in interviews before asylum officers and in proceedings before immigration judges. In addition, EOIR plans to propose

amendments to its regulations governing the relief of voluntary departure for unaccompanied alien children in removal

proceedings.

Title: Immigration Courts and the Board of Immigration Appeals: Motions to Reopen and Reconsider; Effect of Departure or

Removal

Abstract: 

This rule would propose to amend the Department of Justice's regulations regarding motions to reopen and motions to

reconsider where the respondent has left the United States. Rulemaking proceedings are being initiated in response to a petition

for rulemaking from the American Immigration Council, titled "Petition for Rulemaking to Amend Regulations Governing Motions

to Reopen and Reconsider Removal Proceedings for Noncitizens Who Depart the United States." By letter dated July 28, 2012,

the Executive Office for Immigration Review partially granted the petition, committing to initiating a rulemaking proceeding to

amend the departure bar regulatory provisions at 8 CFR sections 1003.2(d) and 1003.23(b)(1), without committing to any

particular outcome for this rulemaking.

Title: Asylum and Withholding Definitions

Abstract: 

This rule would provide guidance on a number of issues central to the adjudication of applications for asylum and withholding of

removal. In particular, this rule would clarify the definitions of "particular social group" and "persecution," as well as the statutory

requirement that, to result in asylum eligibility, persecution must be "on account of" a protected ground. This rule would also

make clear that, under certain circumstances, a person who has suffered, or fears suffering, domestic violence can qualify for

asylum or withholding of removal. The Department of Justice began this regulatory initiative in 2000 by publishing a proposed

rule.

Title: Exception to the Persecution Bar for Asylum, Refugee, and Temporary Protected Status, and Withholding of Removal

Abstract: 

This joint rule proposes amendments to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Department of Justice (DOJ) regulations

to describe the circumstances under which an applicant will continue to be eligible for asylum, refugee, or temporary protected

status, special rule cancellation of removal under the Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act, and withholding

of removal, even if DHS or DOJ has determined that the applicant's actions contributed, in some way, to the persecution of

others. The purpose of this rule is to resolve ambiguity in the statutory language precluding eligibility for asylum, refugee, and

temporary protected status of an applicant who ordered, incited, assisted, or otherwise participated in the persecution of others.

The proposed amendment would provide a limited exception for actions taken by the applicant under duress and clarify the

required levels of the applicant's knowledge of the persecution.

Title: Commerce in Explosives--Separation Distances of Ammonium Nitrate and Blasting Agents From Explosives or Blasting

Agents

Abstract: 

The Department of Justice is planning to propose to amend the regulations of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and

Explosives (ATF) regarding the reference to The Fertilizer Institute (TFI) guidance document titled "Definition and Test

Procedures for Ammonium Nitrate Fertilizer" that appears as a footnote because it is an obsolete document. In March 2002, TFI

filed a petition with ATF requesting that the Federal explosives regulations at 27 CFR 555.220 be amended to remove the

reference to the "Definition and Test Procedures for Ammonium Nitrate Fertilizer." TFI explained that the document is outdated

because TFI last published the guidance document in 1984, TFI will not review or update it, and TFI cannot ensure that the

procedures outlined in the guidance document are still valid.

materials; (7) specifies additional categories of persons who may not lawfully receive or possess explosive materials; i.e., aliens

(other than permanent resident aliens and other excepted aliens), persons dishonorably discharged from the military, and

persons who have renounced their U.S. citizenship; (8) broadens the interstate commerce element of the prohibited persons

section of the law to specify that a violation is committed if possession of explosive materials affects interstate or foreign

commerce; (9) provides ATF the authority to require licensed manufacturers and licensed importers and persons who

manufacture or import explosive materials or ammonium nitrate to provide samples, information on chemical composition, and

other information relevant to the identification of the product; (10) broadens the scope of a criminal violation of the law to

include any institution or organization receiving Federal financial assistance within the categories of property covered by the

Title: Implementation of the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973)

Abstract: 

This rule would propose to amend the Department's regulations implementing section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as

amended, 28 CFR part 39 and part 42, subpart G, and its regulation implementing Executive Order 12250, 28 CFR part 41, to

reflect statutory amendments to the definition of disability applicable to section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, which were

enacted in the ADA Amendments Act of 2008, Public Law 110-325, 122 Stat. 3553 (Sep. 25, 2008). The ADA Amendments Act

took effect on January 1, 2009. The ADA Amendments Act revised 29 U.S.C. section 705, to make the definition of disability

used in the nondiscrimination provisions in title V of the Rehabilitation Act consistent with the amended ADA requirements.

These amendments (1) add illustrative lists of "major life activities," including "major bodily functions," that provide more

examples of covered activities and covered conditions than are now contained in agency regulations (sec. 3[2]); (2) clarify that a

person who is "regarded as" having a disability does not have to be regarded as being substantially limited in a major life activity

(sec. 3[3]); and (3) add rules of construction regarding the definition of disability that provide guidance in applying the term

"substantially limits" and prohibit consideration of mitigating measures in determining whether a person has a disability (sec.

3[4]). The Department anticipates that these changes will be published for comment in a proposed rule within the next 12

months. During the drafting of these revisions, the Department will also review the currently published rules to ensure that any

other legal requirements under the Rehabilitation Act have been properly addressed in these regulations.

Title: Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability; Accessibility of Web Information and Services of Public Accommodations

Abstract: 

The Department of Justice is considering proposed revisions to the regulation implementing title III of the Americans with

59

Regulations.gov Thursday, May 21, 2015 Unified Agenda
Disabilities Act (ADA) in order to address the obligations of public accommodations to make goods, services, facilities,

privileges, accommodations, or advantages they offer via the Internet, specifically at sites on the World Wide Web (Web),

accessible to individuals with disabilities. The ADA requires that public accommodations provide individuals with disabilities with

full and equal enjoyment of their goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, and accommodations. 42. U.S.C. 12182. The

Internet as it is known today did not exist when Congress enacted the ADA. Today the Internet, most notably the sites on the

Web, plays a critical role in the daily personal, professional, and business life of most Americans. Increasingly, private entities of

all types are providing goods and services to the public through websites that operate as places of public accommodation under

title III of the ADA. Many websites of public accommodations, however, render use by individuals with disabilities difficult or

impossible due to barriers posed by websites designed without accessible features. Being unable to access websites puts

individuals with disabilities at a great disadvantage in today's society, which is driven by a global marketplace and

unprecedented access to information. On the economic front, electronic commerce, or "e-commerce," often offers consumers a

wider selection and lower prices than traditional "brick-and-mortar" storefronts, with the added convenience of not having to

leave one's home to obtain goods and services. Beyond goods and services, information available on the Internet has become a

gateway to education. Schools at all levels are increasingly offering programs and classroom instruction through websites. Many

colleges and universities offer degree programs online; some universities exist exclusively on the Internet. The Internet also is

changing the way individuals socialize and seek entertainment. Social networks and other online meeting places provide a

unique way for individuals to meet and fraternize. These networks allow individuals to meet others with similar interests and

connect with friends, business colleagues, elected officials, and businesses. They also provide an effective networking

opportunity for entrepreneurs, artists, and others seeking to put their skills and talents to use. Websites also bring a myriad of

entertainment and information options for Internet users-from games and music to news and videos. The ADA's promise to

provide an equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities to participate in and benefit from all aspects of American civic and

economic life will be achieved in today's technologically advanced society only if it is clear to businesses, educators, and other

public accommodations, that their websites must be accessible. Consequently, the Department is proposing to amend its title III

regulation to expressly address the obligations of public accommodations to make the websites they use to provide their goods

and services to the public accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities under the legal framework established by the

ADA. The proposed regulation will propose the scope of the obligation to provide accessibility when persons with disabilities

attempt to access websites of public accommodations, as well as propose the technical standards necessary to comply with the

ADA.

Title: Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability: Accessibility of Web Information and Services of State and Local

Governments

Abstract: 

The Department published an ANPRM on July 26, 2010, RIN 1190-AA61, that addressed issues relating to proposed revisions

of both the title II and title III ADA regulations in order to provide guidance on the obligations of covered entities to make

60

Regulations.gov Thursday, May 21, 2015 Unified Agenda
programs, services and activities offered over the Web accessible to individuals with disabilities. The Department has now

divided the rulemakings in the next step of the rulemaking process so as to proceed with separate notices of proposed

rulemakings for title II and title III. The title III rulemaking on Web accessibility will continue under RIN 1190-AA61 and the title II

rulemaking will continue under the new RIN 1190-AA65. This rulemaking will provide specific guidance to State and local

governments in order to make services, programs, or activities offered to the public via the Web accessible to individuals with

disabilities. The ADA requires that State and local governments provide qualified individuals with disabilities equal access to their

programs, services, or activities unless doing so would fundamentally alter the nature of their programs, services, or activities or

would impose an undue burden. 42. U.S.C. 12132. The Internet as it is known today did not exist when Congress enacted the

ADA; yet today the Internet is dramatically changing the way that governmental entities serve the public. Taking advantage of

new technology, citizens can now use State and local government websites to correspond online with local officials; obtain

information about government services; renew library books or driver's licenses; pay fines; register to vote; obtain tax information

and file tax returns; apply for jobs or benefits; and complete numerous other civic tasks. These Government websites are

important because they allow programs and services to be offered in a more dynamic, interactive way in order to increase

citizen participation; increase convenience and speed in obtaining information or services; reduce costs in providing information

about Government services and administering programs; reduce the amount of paperwork; and expand the possibilities of

reaching new sectors of the community or offering new programs or services. Many States and localities have begun to improve

the accessibility of portions of their websites. However, full compliance with the ADA's promise to provide an equal opportunity

for individuals with disabilities to participate in and benefit from all aspects of the programs, services, and activities provided by

State and local governments in today's technologically advanced society will only occur if it is clear to public entities that their

websites must be accessible. Consequently, the Department intends to publish a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to

amend its title II regulations to expressly address the obligations of public entities to make the websites they use to provide

programs, activities, or services or information to the public accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities under the

legal framework established by the ADA. The proposed regulation will propose the scope of the obligation to provide

accessibility when persons with disabilities access public websites, as well as propose the technical standards necessary to

comply with the ADA.

Title: Amendments to the Coordination of Enforcement of Non-Discrimination in Federally Assisted Programs

Abstract: 

The coordination regulations applicable to title VI of the Civil Rights Act, 28 CFR 42.401 to 42.415, have not been revised for

more than 30 years. These regulations govern Federal agency enforcement of title VI. The Department proposes updating these

regulations to revise outdated provisions and streamline procedural steps. Changes would address procedural requirements

intended to improve the Department's ability to fulfill its coordination and oversight function under Executive Order 12250.

Changes also would address amendments to title VI found in the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987, which added definitions

61

Regulations.gov Thursday, May 21, 2015 Unified Agenda
of "program or activity" and "program" to restore their broad meaning and application. Federal agencies adopted these

definitions in their title VI regulations in 2003. The Department is also considering streamlining and clarifying provisions

regarding information and data collection, assurances and grant application reviews, post-approval reviews, opportunities to

encourage public engagement and transparency, as well as further incorporating current law regarding meaningful access for

individuals who are limited English proficient.

Title: Implementation of the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (Title II and Title III of the ADA)

Abstract: 

This rule would propose to amend the Department's regulations implementing title II and title III of the Americans with

Disabilities Act (ADA), 28 CFR part 35 and 28 CFR part 36, to implement changes to the ADA enacted in the ADA Amendments

Act of 2008, Public Law 110-325, 122 Stat. 3553 (Sept. 25, 2008). The ADA Amendments Act took effect on January 1, 2009.

The ADA Amendments Act amended the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. 12101, et seq., to clarify terms within the

definition of disability and to establish standards that must be applied to determine if a person has a covered disability. These

changes are intended to mitigate the effects of the Supreme Court's decisions in Sutton v. United Airlines, 527 U.S. 471 (1999),

and Toyota Motor Manufacturing v. Williams, 534, U.S. 184 (2002). Specifically, the ADA Amendments Act (1) adds illustrative

lists of "major life activities," including "major bodily functions," that provide more examples of covered activities and covered

conditions than are now contained in agency regulations (sec. 3[2]); (2) clarifies that a person who is "regarded as" having a

disability does not have to be regarded as being substantially limited in a major life activity (sec. 3[3]); and (3) adds rules of

Title: Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability; Movie Captioning and Audio Description

Abstract: 

Following its advance notice of proposed rulemaking published on July 26, 2010, the Department plans to publish a proposed

rule addressing the requirements for captioning and video description of movies exhibited in movie theatres under title III of the

Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). Title III prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in the activities of places

of public accommodation (private entities whose operations affect commerce and that fall into one of twelve categories listed in

the ADA). 42 U.S.C. 12181-12189. Title III makes it unlawful for places of public accommodation, such as movie theaters, to

discriminate against individuals with disabilities in the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges,

advantages, or accommodations of a place of public accommodation (42 U.S.C. 12182[a]). Moreover, title III prohibits places of

public accommodation from affording an unequal or lesser service to individuals or classes of individuals with disabilities than is

offered to other individuals (42 U.S.C. 12182(b)(1)(A)(ii)). Title III requires places of public accommodation to take "such steps

as may be necessary to ensure that no individual with a disability is excluded, denied services, segregated or otherwise treated

63

Regulations.gov Thursday, May 21, 2015 Unified Agenda
differently because of the absence of auxiliary aids and services, such as captioning and video description, unless the entity can

demonstrate that taking such steps would fundamentally alter the nature of the good, service, facility, privilege, advantage, or

accommodation being offered or would result in an undue burden," (42 U.S.C. 12182(b)(2)(A)(iii)).

Title: Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability in State and Local Government Services; Next Generation 9-1-1

Abstract: 

In 1991, the Department of Justice published a regulation to implement title II of the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990

(ADA). That regulation includes the requirement that public safety answering points (PSAPs) provide direct access to persons

with disabilities who use analog telecommunication devices for the deaf (TTYs). 28 CFR 35.162. On July 26, 2010, the

Department published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) to address in what manner PSAPs should be

required to make changes in communication technology to reflect developments that have occurred since the publication of the

1991 regulation. Many individuals with disabilities now use the Internet and wireless text devices as their primary modes of

telecommunications. At the same time, PSAPs are considering and planning to shift from analog telecommunications technology

to new Internet-Protocol (IP)-enabled Next Generation 9-1-1 services (NG 9-1-1) that will provide voice and data (such as text,

pictures, and video) capabilities. The ANPRM sought information on possible revisions to the Department's regulation to ensure

direct access to NG 9-1-1 services for individuals with disabilities. In the next step of the rulemaking process, the Department

intends to publish a notice of proposed rulemaking to revise the title II regulation to address requirements for direct access to

NG 9-1-1 services for individuals with disabilities.

Title: Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability by State and Local Governments and Places of Public Accommodation;

Equipment and Furniture

Abstract: 

The ADA requires State and local governments and public accommodations to provide programs, activities, and services in a

manner that is accessible to persons with disabilities, including non-fixed equipment and furniture that is used in the delivery of

programs, activities, and services. The ADA also requires that covered entities communicate effectively with persons with

disabilities and provide appropriate auxiliary aids and services. While some types of fixed equipment and furniture are explicitly

covered by the 2010 Standards for Accessible Design, there are no specific provisions in the ADA regulations that include

standards governing the accessibility of equipment and furniture that are not fixed. See, e.g., 28 CFR 36.406(b) (the 1991 and

2010 Standards apply to fixed or built-in elements of buildings and structures). Because the 2010 ADA Standards include

accessibility requirements for some types of fixed equipment (e.g., ATMs, washing machines, dryers, tables, benches and

vending machines), the Department plans to look to these standards for guidance, where applicable, when it proposes

accessibility standards for equipment and furniture that is not fixed. On July 26, 2010, the Department published an Advanced

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) to consider possible changes to requirements under titles II and III of the ADA to

ensure that equipment and furniture used in programs and services provided by public entities and public accommodations are

accessible to individuals with disabilities. See RIN 1190-AA64. In the 2010 ANPRM the Department sought public input on

possible revisions to its ADA regulations to ensure the accessibility of equipment and furniture in such programs and services,

and also sought background information for the regulatory assessment that would be needed for the Department to revise its

regulations. The 2010 ANPRM addressed the following broad categories of equipment and furniture: medical equipment and

furniture, exercise equipment and furniture, accessible golf cars, beds in accessible guest rooms and sleeping rooms, beds in

nursing homes and other care facilities, and electronic and information technology; and inquired about the necessity for

accessibility of other types of equipment and furniture. The comment period on the 2010 ANPRM closed on January 24, 2011.

This was the initial step in the Department's rulemaking process on accessible equipment and furniture. The Department intends

to proceed in several stages to revise the title II and title III regulations to address the accessibility requirements for equipment

and furniture addressed in the initial 2010 ANPRM. As noted in separate agenda review reports, the Department intends to

proceed with a separate NPRM on medical equipment and furniture and an NPRM on hotel beds in guestrooms with mobility

features in places of lodging. These categories of equipment and furniture were included in the 2010 ANPRM. The timetable

listed below for the next step in the rulemaking process includes all of the remaining categories of equipment and furniture from

the 2010 ANPRM, RIN 1190-AA64.

Title: Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability by State and Local Governments and Public Accommodations: Accessibility

of Medical Equipment and Furniture

Abstract: 

On July 26, 2010, the Department published an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) to consider possible

changes to requirements under titles II and III of the ADA to ensure that equipment and furniture used in programs and services

provided by public entities and public accommodations are accessible to individuals with disabilities. See RIN 1190-AA64. In the

2010 ANPRM the Department sought public input on possible revisions to its ADA regulations that would be needed to ensure

the accessibility of equipment and furniture in such programs and services, and also sought background information for the

regulatory assessment that would be needed for the Department to revise its regulations. The 2010 ANPRM addressed the

following broad categories of equipment and furniture: medical equipment and furniture; exercise equipment and furniture;

accessible golf cars; beds in accessible guest rooms and sleeping rooms; beds in nursing homes and other care facilities;

electronic and information technology; and inquired about the necessity for accessibility of other types of equipment and

furniture. The comment period on the 2010 ANPRM closed on January 24, 2011. This was the initial step in the Department’s

rulemaking process on accessible equipment and furniture. The Department intends to proceed in several stages to revise the

title II and title III regulations to address the accessibility requirements for equipment and furniture addressed in the initial 2010

ANPRM. As a separate step in the rulemaking process, the Department has decided to publish an NPRM that solely addresses

the accessibility requirements for medical equipment and furniture pursuant to titles II and III of the ADA. This proposed NPRM

will include all of the various types of medical equipment and furniture addressed in the 2010 ANPRM and will propose, among

other things, scoping requirements by facility type and technical accessibility requirements for such equipment. It is expected

that by the date the Department publishes its NPRM on medical equipment and furniture that the U.S. Access Board will have

completed its work developing minimum technical standards for medical diagnostic equipment used in (or in conjunction with)

physician’s offices, clinics, emergency rooms, hospitals, and other medical settings pursuant to the Patient Protection and

Affordable Care Act, which added a new Section 510 to the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The Department expects to seek public

comment in the NPRM, among other things, on whether it should adopt the Access Board’s final medical diagnostic equipment

standards as the technical accessibility standards for the Department’s rulemaking on medical equipment and furniture under

titles II and III of the ADA.

features in places of lodging. Title III of the ADA applies to persons who own, lease or lease to, or operate places of public

accommodation (42 U.S.C. 12182[a]), including places of lodging. The proposed rulemaking would address and request public

input about, among other things, the features proposed for accessible beds, including bed height and under-bed clearance, as

well as the commercial availability of accessible beds (and bed components), the costs associated with the acquisition and

implementation of accessible beds, scoping requirements, implementation schedules, and effective dates for compliance.
