There is one Federal clearinghouse: the FCC Accessibility Clearinghouse, at http://apps.fcc.gov/accessibilityclearinghouse/.

We're considering setting up a repository of evaluated Voluntary Product Accessibility Templates ("VPATs"), here at the NIH, but it's in its very earliest stages of discussion and design and would be for acquisition and procurement staff primarily.

WHAT IF THE FIRST QUESTION WE ASKED WAS, "WHAT IS SO UNIQUE ABOUT THIS SITUATION THAT IT JUSTIFIES EXCLUSION? INSTEAD OF, "HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO MAKE IT ACCESSIBLE?"
