SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: that have not been submitted and reviewed by the Department. Certification will not apply to buildings constructed by or for State or local governmental entities, which are subject to title II of the ADA. Nor does certification apply to accessibility requirements that are addressed by the NCAC, but are not addressed by the new construction alterations requirements of title III of the ADA, including the ADA Standards for Accessible Design. Certification also will not apply to variances or waivers granted under the NCAC. Therefore, if a builder receives a variance, waiver, modification, or other exemption from the requirements of the NCAC for any element of construction or alterations, the certification determination will not constitute evidence of ADA compliance with respect to that element. Similarly, certification will not apply if other North Carolina building codes provide an exemption from the ADA required minimum accessibility requirements. Background Procedure The Department will hold an informal hearing in North Carolina during the 60day comment period to provide an opportunity for interested persons, including individuals with disabilities, to express their views with respect to the preliminary determination of equivalency for the North Carolina law. Interested parties who wish to testify at the hearing should contact Linda Garrett at (202) 353+–0423 TTY or by e-mail at Linda.Garrett@usdoj.gov. The hearing site will be accessible to individuals with disabilities. Individuals who require sign language interpreters or other auxiliary aids should contact Linda Garrett at (202) 353–0423 TTY, or by e-mail at Linda.Garrett@usdoj.gov. The ADA authorizes the Department of Justice, upon application by a State or local government, to certify that a State or local law that establishes accessibility requirements meets or exceeds the minimum requirements of title III of the ADA for new construction and alterations. 42 U.S.C. 12188(b)(1)(A)(ii); 28 CFR 36.601 et seq. Final certification constitutes rebuttable evidence, in any ADA enforcement action, that a building constructed or altered in accordance with the certified code complies with the new construction and alterations requirements of title III of the ADA. The North Carolina Department of Insurance requested that the Department of Justice (Department) certify that the 200w North Carolina Accessibility Code with 2004 amendments (NCAC) meets or exceeds the new construction and alterations requirements of title III of the ADA.
