SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In September 1994, the Access Board

established an advisory committee to review the Americans with

facilities. 36 CFR part 1191, appendix A. The Advisory Committee will

make recommendations to the Access Board for updating ADAAG to ensure

that the guidelines remain a state-of-the-art document which is

generally consistent with technological developments and changes in

national standards and model codes, and continue to meet the needs of

individuals with disabilities. The advisory committee is composed of

organizations representing individuals with disabilities, model code

organizations, professional associations, State and local governments,

building owners and operators, and other organizations. The advisory

committee has formed the following subcommittees to assist in its work:
