The Subpart A subcommittee has asked us to comment on any potential
changes to the Operable Controls definition. The definition is as
follows:

Operable controls - A component of a product that requires physical
contact for normal operation. Operable controls include, but are not
limited to, mechanically operated controls, input and output trays, card
slots, keyboards, or keypads.

Please provide comment or feedback on this definition so that we can
close with the Subpart A team.

Thanks,

Randy and Rob
