rule
<http://links.govdelivery.com/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTUwNTA1LjQ0NzE4NTAxJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDE1MDUwNS40NDcxODUwMSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE3MDA0MjYxJmVtYWlsaWQ9dmFzcXVlekBzYmNjLmVkdSZ1c2VyaWQ9dmFzcXVlekBzYmNjLmVkdSZmbD0mZXh0cmE9TXVsdGl2YXJpYXRlSWQ9JiYm&&&100&&&http://www.access-board.gov/ict-nprm>
updating
accessibility requirements for information and communication technology
(ICT) in the federal sector covered by Section 508 of the Rehabilitation
Act. The rule also would jointly update guidelines for telecommunications
equipment subject to Section 255 of the Communications Act. The Board is
updating these requirements so that they adequately address accessibility
and keep pace with the ever-changing nature of the technologies covered.

Public comments on the proposed ICT rule are due *May 28*. Comments
received after this date will be considered to the extent feasible.
Comments can be submitted or viewed through the www.regulations.gov
