SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Access Board established a Recreation

Access Advisory Committee to provide advice on issues related to making

recreational facilities and outdoor developed areas readily accessible

to and usable by individuals with disabilities. This advice will be

used by the Access Board to develop accessibility guidelines under the

Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and the Architectural Barriers

Act of 1968 for newly constructed and altered recreational facilities

and outdoor developed areas. The advisory committee is composed of

owners and operators of various recreational facilities; persons who

design recreational facilities or manufacture related equipment;

Federal, State and local government officials responsible for parks and

other outdoor developed areas; and individuals with disabilities and

organizations representing the interests of such persons.

The Recreation Access Advisory Committee has formed subcommittees

to assist in its work. The subcommittees include: Amusement Parks;

Golf; Play Area Settings; Recreational Boating and Fishing; Developed

Outdoor Recreation Facilities and Areas; and Sports Facilities.

Subcommittee meetings will be held on Friday, March 18, 1994 (11 a.m.-

attend subcommittee meetings and to provide input in the form of

written material. Information about these subcommittees can be obtained

This meeting is open to the public and meeting sites will be
