Fed Regist. 1990 Dec 19;55(244):52136-43.
This common rule amends the regulations issued by the agencies listed above for enforcement of section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, in federally assisted programs or activities to include a cross-reference to the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS). Because some facilities subject to new construction or alteration requirements under section 504 are also subject to the Architectural Barriers Act, government wide reference to UFAS will diminish the possibility that recipients of Federal financial assistance would face conflicting enforcement standards. In addition, reference to UFAS by all Federal funding agencies will reduce potential conflicts when a building is subject to the section 504 regulations of more than one Federal agency.
本通用规则修订了上述机构发布的法规,以便在联邦资助的项目或活动中执行经修订的1973年《康复法案》第504条,其中包括对《统一联邦无障碍标准》(UFAS)的交叉引用。由于根据第504条需满足新建或改建要求的一些设施也受《建筑障碍法案》约束,政府对UFAS的全面引用将降低联邦财政援助接受者面临相互冲突的执法标准的可能性。此外,所有联邦资助机构对UFAS的引用将减少一栋建筑受多个联邦机构第504条法规约束时可能出现的冲突。
