Agency. Any agency or department of the United States as defined in 44 U.S.C.
3502, and the United States Postal Service.
Existing ICT. ICT that has been procured, maintained or used on or before [INSERT DATE 12 MONTHS FROM DATE OF PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER].
Platform Software. Software that interacts with hardware or provides services for other software. Platform software may run or host other software, and may isolate them from underlying software or hardware layers. A single software component may have both platform and non-platform aspects. Examples of platforms are: desktop operating systems; embedded operating systems, including mobile systems; Web browsers; plug- ins to Web browsers that render a particular media or format; and sets of components that allow other applications to execute, such as applications which support macros or scripting.
Programmatically Determinable. Ability to be determined by software from author- supplied data that is provided in a way that different user agents, including assistive technologies, can extract and present the information to users in different modalities.
E202.2 Legacy ICT. Any component or portion of existing ICT that complies with an earlier standard issued pursuant to Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (as republished in Appendix D), and that has not been altered on or after [INSERT DATE 12 MONTHS FROM DATE OF PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER], shall not be required to be modified to conform to the Revised 508 Standards.
E202.7.1 Required Documentation. The responsible agency official shall document in writing:
(a) the non-availability of conforming ICT, including a description of market research performed and which provisions cannot be met, and
(b) the basis for determining that the ICT to be procured best meets the requirements in the Revised 508 Standards consistent with the agency’s business needs.
That Federal employees with disabilities have access to and use of information and data that is comparable to the access and use by Federal employees who are not individuals with disabilities; and
That members of the public with disabilities who are seeking information or data from a Federal agency have access to and use of information and data that is comparable to that provided to members of the public who are not individuals with disabilities.
EXCEPTION: Non-Web documents shall not be required to conform to the following four WCAG 2.0 Success Criteria:
2.4.1 Bypass Blocks,
2.4.5 Multiple Ways,
3.2.3 Consistent Navigation, and
3.2.4 Consistent Identification.
Non-Web software shall not be required to conform to the following four Success Criteria in WCAG 2.0:
2.4.1 Bypass Blocks;
2.4.5 Multiple Ways;
3.2.3 Consistent Navigation; and
E207.2.1 Word Substitution when Applying WCAG to Non-Web Software. For non- Web software, wherever the term “Web page” or “page” appears in WCAG 2.0 Level A and AA Success Criteria and Conformance Requirements, the term “software” shall be substituted for the terms “Web page” and “page”. In addition, in Success Criterion in 1.4.2, the phrase “in software” shall be substituted for the phrase “on a Web page.”

Revised 255 Guidelines. The guidelines for telecommunications equipment and customer premises equipment covered by Section 255 of the Communications Act as set forth in 255 Chapters 1 and 2 (36 CFR part 1194, Appendix B), and Chapters 3 through 7
(36 CFR part 1193, Appendix C).
C201.3 Access to Functionality. Manufacturers shall ensure that telecommunications equipment and customer premises equipment is accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities by providing direct access to all telecommunications functionality.
Where manufacturers can demonstrate that it is not readily achievable for such equipment to provide direct access to all functionality, the equipment shall support the use of assistive technology and specialized customer premises equipment where readily achievable.
EXCEPTION: Components of telecommunications equipment and customer premises equipment shall not be required to conform to 402, 407.7, 407.8, 408, and 415.
C205.2.1 Word Substitution when Applying WCAG to Non-Web Software. For non- Web software, wherever the term “Web page” or “page” appears in WCAG 2.0 Level A and AA Success Criteria and Conformance Requirements, the term “software” shall be substituted for the terms “Web page” and “page.” In addition, in Success Criterion 1.4.2, the phrase “in software” shall be substituted for the phrase “on a Web page.”
