{"abstract":"The Department of Justice (Department) is issuing this Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) in order to begin the process of adopting Parts I and III of the revised guidelines implementing the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) and the Architectural Barriers Act of 1968 (ABA),\\1\\ published by the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (Access Board) on July 23, 2004, at 69 FR 44083.\\2\\ The ADA requires the Department to adopt enforceable accessibility standards that are \"consistent with the minimum guidelines and requirements issued by the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board\" (42 U.S.C. 12186). The Department adopts and enforces standards consistent with the Access Board's guidelines under the Department's regulations implementing Title II (Subtitle A) and Title III of the ADA as the ADA Standards for Accessible Design (ADA Standards). Prior to their adoption by the Department, the revised Access Board guidelines are effective only as guidance to the Department; they have no legal effect on the public until the Department issues a final rule adopting revised ADA Standards. In this ANPRM, the current, legally enforceable ADA Standards will be referred to as the \"current ADA Standards,\" while the revisions that will be proposed in the NPRM, based on Parts I and III of the revised ADA and ABA Accessibility Guidelines, will be referred to as the \"revised ADA Standards.\" The Access Board's revised ADA Accessibility Guidelines will be cited as \"ADAAG.\" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------","action":"Advance notice of proposed rulemaking.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE","name":"Justice Department","id":268,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/justice-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/268","parent_id":null,"slug":"justice-department"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2004/09/30/04-21875.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":35,"title":28},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":36,"title":28}],"citation":"69 FR 58768","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2005-01-28","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"All comments must be received by January 28, 2005.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["CRT Docket No. 2004-DRS01","AG Order No. 2736-2004"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"04-21875","effective_on":null,"end_page":58786,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2004/09/30/04-21875.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2004/09/30/04-21875/civil-rights-division-nondiscrimination-on-the-basis-of-disability-in-state-and-local-government","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/04-21875?publication_date=2004-09-30","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2004-09-30/04-21875/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":19,"page_views":{"count":400,"last_updated":"2026-10-23 10:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2004-09-30/pdf/04-21875.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2004-09-30","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2004/09/30/04-21875.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"1190-AA44":{"issue":"201010","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/1190-AA44/nondiscrimination-on-the-basis-of-disability-in-public-accommodations-and-commercial-facilities","title":"Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability in Public Accommodations and Commercial Facilities","xml_url":"http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=201010&RIN=1190-AA44&operation=OPERATION_EXPORT_XML","priority_category":"Economically Significant"},"1190-AA46":{"issue":"201010","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/1190-AA46/nondiscrimination-on-the-basis-of-disability-in-state-and-local-government-services","title":"Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability in State and Local Government Services","xml_url":"http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=201010&RIN=1190-AA46&operation=OPERATION_EXPORT_XML","priority_category":"Economically Significant"}},"regulation_id_numbers":["1190-AA44","1190-AA46"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2011-11-12T13:57:47Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":true,"signing_date":null,"start_page":58768,"subtype":null,"title":"Civil Rights Division; Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability in State and Local Government Services; Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability by Public Accommodations and in Commercial Facilities","toc_doc":"ADA standards revisions; adoption; comment request","toc_subject":"Americans with Disabilities Act, implementation:","topics":[],"type":"Proposed Rule","volume":69}
