While I cannot comment on what the Access Board wants, I can say
definitively that there is no requirement for that directly within the
W3C's WCAG 2.0 Specification (and in fact, there is a specific Normative
['official'] section related to conformance statements here:
https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#conformance-claims)
