  Section 508 Accommodations The ODNI is committed to providing accessible Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to individuals with disabilities, including members of the public and federal employees, by meeting or exceeding the requirements in Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (29 U.S.C. 794d).  On January 18, 2017, the U.S. Access Board published a final rule updating accessibility requirements for information and communication technology (ICT) covered by Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act and Section 255 of the Communications Act.  Section 508 requires agencies, during the procurement, development, maintenance, or use of ICT, to ensure that individuals with disabilities have access to and use of ICT information and data comparable to the access and use afforded to individuals without disabilities (i.e., ICT accessibility), unless an undue burden would be imposed on the agency. The Section 508 standards are the technical requirements and criteria that are used to measure conformance with the law and incorporate the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0.  More information on Section 508 and the technical standards can be found on www.Section508.gov.  If you have feedback, questions, or concerns relating to the accessibility of any content that interferes with your ability to access the information on ODNI’s website, please contact Reasonable Accommodations help desk at 703-275-3900 or This email address is being protected from spambots.

The Access Board is the federal agency responsible for enforcing the ABA. The Access Board’s accessibility standards are available on their website at www.access-board.gov/aba.
