Subject: [teitac-tf] Draft Rationale for 255
Judy and I have developed the following proposal to handle the rationales
for 255 related provisions in the document. Please let us know your
thoughts in response.
Instead of re-examining and revising the rationale for every provision in
the TEITAC document, we propose applying a blanket rationale to all of the
255 provisions.
Draft Rationale
In establishing the rules implementing Section 255, the FCC has defined the
types of products and services which must comply with the rules. The FCC
has determined that the 255 rules also apply to information and
documentation associated with the covered products, as well as information
and documentation necessary to use the covered products. This information
and documentation includes user guides, bills, installation guides for
end-user installable devices, and product support communications.
Technical standards that would improve the accessibility of any of the items
covered by section 255, whether a phone, a printed user guide, or a
web-based billing function, would be candidates for inclusion in the Access
Board's Section 255 guidelines. Unless otherwise noted, the technical
standards apply to section 255, because they are necessary to make the
covered products accessible to and usable by people with disabilities,
consistent with section 255.
