Yes, agencies are required to conform to the section 508 standards even
if they do not currently have people with any disability employed.

I would ask the Access Board to weigh in here.

I do not think that is correct. I believe that agencies are supposed to
follow 508 even if they do not currently have people with a particular
disability employed.
