Re: Sec. 508 Refresh (U.S.)

Jens,

The draft rule being reviewed by OMB is not yet posted - it's not allowed to be until OMB reviews it. It then gets published for public viewing and comment, as a Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM).

The 2011 version was the one they posted as an Advance Notice of Proposed Rule Making (ANPRM). That will likely have changes made based on the hundreds of comments that they received in that phase. There has been no "news" since then as they were reviewing the comments and (presumably) re-drafting.

Future steps in the rule making process are outlined in a recent blog post at SSB BART:
