1 The Access Board is an independent Federal
agency established by section 502 of the
Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. 792) whose primary
mission is to promote accessibility for individuals
with disabilities. The Access Board consists of 25
members. Thirteen are appointed by the President
from among the public, a majority of who are
required to be individuals with disabilities. The
other twelve are heads of the following Federal
agencies or their designees whose positions are
Executive Level IV or above: The Departments of
Health and Human Services, Education,
Transportation, Housing and Urban Development,
Labor, Interior, Defense, Justice, Veterans Affairs,
and Commerce; General Services Administration;

rmajette on PROD1PC64 with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 121 / Monday, June 25, 2007 / Proposed Rules
Barriers Act (ABA) to ensure that newly
constructed and altered facilities
covered by these laws are readily
accessible to and usable by individuals
with disabilities. In July 2004, the
Access Board published revised
accessibility guidelines for facilities
covered by the ADA and ABA. 69 FR
44084 (July 23, 2004). The guidelines
update accessibility requirements for a
wide range of facilities in the public and
private sectors. The ADA and ABA
Accessibility Guidelines contain ADA
scoping (Chapters 1 and 2), ABA
scoping (Chapters F1 and F2) and
common technical provisions (Chapters
3 through 10) and for the first time
contain technical and scoping
provisions for both transient lodging
and residential dwelling units.
The ADA and ABA Accessibility
Guidelines did not anticipate the
challenges associated with providing
accessible and usable dwelling units
which will meet structural and
transportation criteria permitting them
to be transported across roadways and
to be installed in yards or on group
trailer sites for emergency use.
Therefore, the Access Board wishes to
revisit the scoping provisions and
technical criteria for residential
dwelling units in its guidelines and
proposes to establish a Federal advisory
committee to develop a proposed rule
on this subject. The following interest
groups are likely to be affected by
accessibility guidelines for emergency
transportable housing:
• Federal agencies;
• Organizations representing the
needs of individuals with disabilities;
• Trade associations;
• Manufacturers and designers of
emergency transportable housing;
• State and local governments; and
• voluntary codes and standards
groups.
The Board proposes to appoint the
following organizations to represent the
interests identified above:
• Advocacy Center.
• Coalition for Citizens with
Disabilities.
• Department of Housing and Urban
Development.
• Department of Justice.
• Federal Emergency Management
Agency.
• Manufactured Housing Institute.
• National Council on Independent
Living.
• National Fire Protection
Association.
• Recreation Park Trailer Industry
Association.
• Recreation Vehicle Industry
Association.
• United Spinal Association.

Comments are invited on the proposal
to establish the advisory committee and
the proposed membership.
Organizations that will be affected by
the accessibility guidelines for
emergency transportable housing and
who believe that their interests will not
be adequately represented by the above
organizations may apply for
membership on the committee.
Applications should include the
following information: (1) The name of
the organization and the interest that the
organization proposes to represent; (2)
the reasons why the organizations
specified above do not adequately
represent the interests that the
organization proposes to represent; (3)
evidence that the person submitting the
application is authorized to represent
the organization; and (4) a written
commitment that the organization
would participate on the committee in
good faith. There is no specific
application form. See ADDRESSES, above,
for information on where and how to
submit applications.
To be effective, the size of the
committee will be limited. Each
organization affected by accessibility
guidelines for emergency transportable
housing need not have its own
representative on the advisory
committee. Rather, interests must be
adequately represented and the
membership must be fairly balanced.
After reviewing the comments received
in response to this notice and any
applications for membership, the Board
will issue a notice in the Federal
Register announcing the establishment
of the committee and the committee
membership, unless it is determined
based on comments that the
establishment of the committee would
be inappropriate. The first committee
meeting is tentatively scheduled for
September 24 and 25, 2007 at the
Access Board offices in Washington, DC.
The Board expects the committee to
hold no more than three meetings and
all meetings will be in the Washington,
DC area. The meetings will be open to
the public. Future committee meetings
will be announced in the Federal
Register. The Board will provide staff
support to the committee. Members of
the committee will not be compensated
for their service. The Board may pay
travel expenses for a limited number of
persons who would otherwise be unable
to serve on the committee. Members
will not be considered special
government employees since they will
serve as representatives of their
organizations and will not be required
to file confidential financial disclosure
reports.
