Tom,
Do you specifically reference it has to be an "individual with a disability may file a compliant" and thus if no one has a disability, they can't begin enforcement?
FYI: The Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended 29 U.S.C. § 794 (d) § 794d. Electronic and information technology, section (f) Enforcement, part (1) General, (A) Complaints: Effective 6 months after the date of publication by the Access Board of final standards described in subsection (a) (2), any individual with a disability may file a complaint alleging that a Federal department or agency fails to comply with subsection (a) [linked via url: http://www.access-board.gov/sec508/guide/act.htm]?

If there are no people with disabilities and the site or application is
non-conformant, no own has standing to complain.

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.
