In other words, we believe it is more important to do the job right than to do it immediately. @ 38.113 -- [Amended] 11. Thirteen of these, including ten state or local transportation agencies, supported the NPRM proposal. Section 37.87 of the Department's ADA regulation provides that when Amtrak or a commuter authority purchases or leases or used intercity or commuter rail car, it must either obtain an accessible car or demonstrate the good faith efforts it has made to do so. The authority citation for 49 CFR part 37 continues to read as follows: Authority: Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. The commenters who suggested that DOT not make equivalent facilitation determinations are suggesting, in effect, that DOT adopt this approach. Other commenters suggested adding safeguards to ensure accessibility. Five commenters (one of the above transit agencies plus four of the commenters who favored the NPRM provision) said that additional provision (e.g., a voice synthesizer system) was needed on fare vending systems to serve persons with visual impairments. To accommodate this situation, the Department proposed to add a new paragraph to this section, which would allow good faith efforts to be documented in a different way. (ii) The entity shall make its proposed request available for public comment before the request is made final or transmitted to DOT. Lift-off problems were reported in some stations (for example, one BART station had a high lift-off rate, of about a third of tiles after 18 months, while other BART stations had low lift-off rates in the 1-10 percent range.) Consequently, we have not adopted the comments of manufacturers that opposed different procedures for manufacturers and transportation providers.

Priority seats are intended for people with disabilities in general; a seat near the front of the bus may be as important to a blind individual as to an individual with a mobility impairment.

The Department is not making other suggested changes in the regulatory language, believing that reasonable implementation of the provision can address the issues commenters raised. This was due, in part, to the absence of a diagram illustrating the required pattern.

X The 1991 study referred to by a commenter ("Innovative Solutions for Disabled Transit Accessibility" Thomas J. McGean, October 1991) evaluates detectable warning materials that had been installed up to that time. Frequently (e.g., at holiday times or other high-demand periods), Amtrak must obtain additional cars from nearby commuter rail authorities on short notice for a short period of time. See 57 FR 41006, September 8, 1992. PAGE 1458 FR 63092, *63097Commenters had a variety of points of view on this proposal. Under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, managers and supervisors are required to provide reasonable accommodations to qualified Federal employees and applicants. The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) changed the name of the former Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA) to 4 Transportation barriers Section 37.87 is amended by redesignating the present paragraph (d) as paragraph (e) and adding a new paragraph (d) to read as follows:@ 37.87 -- Purchase or lease of used intercity and commuter rail cars. The Access Board's proposed action does not apply to detectable warnings on rail platform edges. It would not be appropriate for the Department to indefinitely suspend a requirement that addresses a known safety problem on the basis of speculation about a safety problem that has not been shown to exist. In view of the close relationship between the coverage of airport facilities under the ADA, section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and the Air Carrier Access Act, the Department is clarifying the facilities section to specifically include requests for equivalent facilitation that arise concerning airport facilities under all three statutes. The study also noted ongoing efforts at improving detectable warning materials. 35 0 obj <>/Filter/FlateDecode/ID[<219546CA2F0B1B4A956CBC6DFEFAA54F>]/Index[10 48]/Info 9 0 R/Length 119/Prev 123083/Root 11 0 R/Size 58/Type/XRef/W[1 3 1]>>stream PAGE 958 FR 63092, *63095standard for detectable warnings may be indicated, the Department is free to propose changes, which can exceed the minimum requirements of the Access Board guidelines. The Department said that these concerns do not apply with the same force to a new construction situation, where detectable warnings can be made an integral part of the platform design (e.g., through concrete stamping or other methods not involving retrofit). Fourteen commenters supported the NPRM provision as drafted. PAGE 1558 FR 63092, *63098Taking this approach would have the advantage of reducing the Department's administrative workload. Every train that Amtrak or a commuter authority operates after that date will have to have an accessible car. The NPRM proposed to amend the rule to reflect this situation, allowing equivalent facilitation requests to be made by manufacturers and by transportation entities in other modes. It is the Department's understanding that this material involves a flat, painted-on surface with a sandpaper-like texture, which does not meet the Federal standard for a detectable warning. The language which applies the "driver request" provision to rail systems only to the extent practicable seems necessary. The first step is to complete the DRC Accommodation Request Form so we can begin to identify your needs. Current products (including some developed. For any key station modification which, because of an extension of time for extraordinarily expensive changes, does not have to be completed until after July 26, 1994, detectable warnings would have to be installed on the same date as other modifications had to be completed. From a transportation policy point of view, requiring materials to be installed without providing a reasonable amount of time for rail operators to resolve these very practical issues could be counterproductive. Given the urgency of the concerns expressed by disability community comments and the strong safety rationale for installing detectable warnings, the Department will not adopt the proposed 18-month extension, however.

The supporting While we understand the concerns of transit agency commenters about the potential safety risks that may be involved, the Department does not have a basis in the rulemaking record for authorizing a restriction on lift use by standees. Another transit property also asked for a 5-year delay, while a third suggested making the requirement effective in July 1995, to coincide with the one-car-per-train requirement. One transit agency asked that the rule state that non-disabled passengers do not have to get off the bus to let a disabled passenger on. The Department believes that one commenter's concerns about the relationship of the yellow safety strip or "bumpers" (i.e., strips of material along the outward-facing edges of platforms to protect the rail cars and platform edges from abrasion) on some of its platforms can be addressed successfully without regulatory change, and the Department will work with rail operators to that end. 12101-12213); 49 U.S.C. Other key station accessibility requirements, if not covered by a time extension for [*63095] "extraordinarily expensive" changes, must still have been completed by July 26, 1993. The rule would not impose a uniform procedure; each transit system may devise a means best suited to its operations to carry out the requirement. * * * * *(d)(1) For purposes of implementing the equivalent facilitation provision in section 2.2 of appendix A to this part, the following parties may submit to the Administrator of the applicable operating administration a request for a determination of equivalent facilitation:(i)(A) A public or private entity that provides transportation facilities subject to the provisions of subpart C this part, or other appropriate party with the concurrence of the Administrator;(ii) With respect to airport facilities, an entity that is an airport operator subject to the requirements of 49 CFR part 27 or regulations implementing the Americans with Disabilities Act, an air carrier subject to the requirements of 14 CFR part 382, or other appropriate party with the concurrence of the Administrator. The Department can also attempt to assist in obtaining disability group input. This issue is a difficult one, because the comments favoring and opposing the proposed 18-month delay both make reasonable and persuasive points.

The Department believes that the suggestion to publish its equivalent facilitation determinations is a good one. We also do not believe there is a strong connection between the July 1995 one car per train deadline (which pertains mostly to making service for persons with mobility impairments accessible) and the installation of detectable warnings (which pertains mostly to making platforms safe for visually impaired passengers). Five requested that handrails be retrofitted on existing lifts, and one commenter opposed this idea. The study affirms the excellent detectability of materials meeting Federal standards. Provided, that an entity is not required to permit such individuals to use a lift Model 141 manufactured by EEC, Inc. Lifts meeting Access Board standards will have handrails. Not surprisingly, there were few comments on this matter; a handful of commenters noted it approvingly. If the technical standard changes at this or any future point, the Department could, in appropriate situations, apply the grandfathering provision in the Department's ADA rule (49 CFR 37.9) to avoid making rail operators re-install detectable warnings meeting the revised standard. The rule makes these corrections, which have no substantive effects. The facility owner simply makes its own determination, which may be challenged in court or administrative proceedings as failing to comply with ADA requirements.

Common transportation barriers include long travel distances, lack of vehicle, transportation cost, inadequate infrastructure, and adverse policies affecting In drafting the existing regulatory language, the Department also assumed that equivalent facilitation requests would be made in the rail and transit contexts. The third change would modify the Department's procedures for responding to requests for equivalent facilitation determinations. Read Liz's story. The FTA will oversee such mechanisms as part of the triennial review process. Any such use of these letters, or reliance on these letters in marketing materials, is unauthorized, and potential customers for these products should disregard claims of this kind. All it takes is a brief moment of fatigue, or distraction, or disorientation, in the complex and sometimes confusing environment of a rail station, and even a very experienced blind rail system user can make what, in context, is a fatal misstep. To clarify this point, the NPRM proposed adding to @ 37.167 a new paragraph spelling out this obligation, which would apply to private as well as public transportation entities. This language should parallel that of @ 38.95(d). If a van is being used for specialized paratransit service for individuals with disabilities, then this provision-which addresses only to those vehicles. However, the ADA regulation is in Subchapter I of that Title. Since the situation of air carriers making equivalent facilitation requests concerning facilities at public airports is very similar to that of the airport sponsors themselves, we decided to apply the same procedural requirements to both. Providing reasonable accommodations is an interactive process where the employee and his or her manager need to participate to help achieve a successful accommodation. Official websites use .govA .gov website belongs to an official government organization in the United States. In the preamble to the final rule, the Department made the following comments on the origin of this provision: PAGE 1058 FR 63092, *63095In the NPRM, the Department neglected to discuss the use of lifts by standees, an oversight that was brought to our attention by a substantial number of disability community commenters. The explanatory appendix to part 37 made the following comment on the regulatory requirement: [*63096]. There could be other situations in which requests were made pertaining to airport, highway, or other DOT programs. A manufacturer said it should not have to consult with disability groups: it had tried, and had a hard time finding anyone who would respond or who was technically qualified to help. Bulletin # 1 also contains a list of products which are claimed by their manufacturers to meet the technical specifications for detectable warnings, but the Access Board neither reviews products for compliance nor certifies the suitability of such products or systems for the purposes for which they are intended. The qualifications are that, in the situations studied, both drivers [*63097] and standee users were trained in the proper use of lifts, handrails were available on the lifts, and operators were not required to transport a standee who refused to use the handrail. Technology and product differentiation in the detectable warnings field does not stand still, and equivalent facilitation is an appropriate means to recognize evolution and innovation in these products. (56 FR 45755). The first was the designation of the last paragraph of @ 38.113 (concerning signage) as (3), rather than (e). The proposal received support from both disability community commenters (12) and state or local transportation agencies (10), with the remainder of comments (4) coming from state or local agencies working on disability matters.

These concerns include the possibility of adhesive failures and "lift-off" (i.e., the corners of segments of the materials may come up) as well as durability. The Department of Transportation (DOT or Department) is issuing a final rule that changes the mishandled-baggage data that air carriers are required to report, Web(7) Eligibility. The agreement would provide that when Amtrak borrowed cars from B, B would make available and Amtrak would take its accessible cars first, to the extent they are available (e.g., B would not have to provide cars that were in the repair shop or that it was impossible to make available for Amtrak's use in a timely fashion).

[*63092]SUMMARY: The Department is amending its rules implementing the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in several respects. DOT is committed to maintaining public safety while providing maximum flexibility to allow transportation industries to conduct their operations safely and We believe the changes to the process suggested in the NPRM-concerning the ability of the various DOT operating administrations to make these determinations and having different procedural steps for manufacturers and transportation providers-are reasonable.

The discussion below pertains to this timing issue. Some commenters pointed out that the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) had not adopted a detectable warnings standard, drawing the conclusion that this placed the viability of the current Federal standard in question. The Department, instead, received a substantial number of requests for equivalent facilitation determinations from manufacturers relating to approvals of particular products. "[wll,u&aElBK5#3cn6u.

The manufacturers said that the problems the NPRM had cited with adhesion, lift-up, etc. Transit providers have asked the Department whether they have an obligation under the ADA to direct other passengers to move from designated priority seats or from fold-down seats over a wheelchair securement location when a passenger with a disability enters the vehicle. The Department will extend the required completion date for the installation of detectable warnings in existing key stations to July 26, 1994. In the NPRM, the Department emphasized that its concerns were neither about the basic design of the [*63093] detectable warnings or their usefulness to people with vision impairments. (ii) The entity shall make its proposed request available for public comment before the request is made final or transmitted to DOT. Business Hours:8:30am-5:00pm ET, M-F. DREDF also cited ADA legislative history favoring use of lifts by standees, the practices of some transit agencies which allow standees to use lifts, extra costs to paratransit systems if ridership on fixed route systems by standees were limited, and a general concern that ADA regulations' protections should not be weakened. An entity wishing to employ equivalent facilitation * * * shall submit a request to UMTA or FRA, as applicable, and include the following information: (list of five items of information). We decline to adopt suggestions that the completion date for installation of detectable warnings be established only after certain research is completed. In New York, a blind passenger using a guide dog fell off a platform and was killed by an oncoming train. (56 FR 45618). We assume that Amtrak would prefer to lease trains from commuter authorities that comply with their ADA obligations. Even should the ultimate result of the Access Board's rulemaking process be to delete or modify the requirement for detectable warnings in other contexts, there would not be any inconsistency between the Access Board guidelines and DOT regulations, since the guidelines serve as minimum requirements that DOT may exceed in its standards. They also asked why we seemed to assume that detectable warnings shouldn't be installed until we were sure they were other component of a rail system. The ADA is a nondiscrimination statute, intended to ensure, among other things, that people with disabilities have access to transportation services. 93-29257 Filed 11-29-93; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4910-62-P-M, Transportation for Individuals with Disabilities --Detectable Warnings, Standees on Lifts, Equivalent Facilitation, Priority Seating, Rail Car Acquisition, United States Department of Transportation, Coordinating Council on Access & Mobility, Low and No-Emission Vehicle Federal Technical Assistance, Federal Register Notices & Rulemaking Documents, National Transit Institute (NTI) Course Offerings. Entities shall not claim that a determination of equivalent facilitation indicates approval or endorsement of any product or method by the Federal government, the Department of Transportation, or any of its operating administrations. It is fair to conclude from comments to the rule that one of the consequences of having a serious visual impairment is the need to concentrate very hard on mobility and orientation matters that sighted persons handle routinely. The DOT study alluded to by commenters, with some qualifications, does support the proposition that standees may use lifts safely and successfully. The study does not point to any safety problems created by the materials for passengers, beyond those that can be inferred from "lift-off." The ability to gather this information is an additional reason for providing the extension. The FTA never intended its letters to be used as product endorsements or certifications of compliance. In the NPRM, the Department sought comment on how the proposed Access Board ATM standard modifications would affect automatic fare vending and collection systems. 12101-12213); 49 U.S.C.

Some comments from transit providers suggested there be limits on the use of lifts by standees (e.g., only where there are handrails, only in a wheelchair provided by the transit authority). You need to document why you needed the missing records, and why they Seven additional commenters favored longer delays. Consequently, the NPRM proposed to extend for 18 months the key station compliance date with respect to detectable warnings. The latter group of commenters said that, in a vehicle that did not meet part 38 standards, there were safety concerns relating to door height, smoothness of operation etc. Under the present rule, except where the Department has extended time for completion of modifications to a key station, rail operators had to make key stations accessible by July 26, 1993. We do not believe that it is necessary to prohibit applications for equivalent facilitation concerning detectable warnings. (5) A determination of compliance will be made by the Administrator of the concerned operating administration on a case-by-case basis, with the concurrence of the Assistant Secretary for Policy and International Affairs.PAGE 2458 FR 63092, *63102(6) Determinations of equivalent facilitation are made only with respect to vehicles or vehicle components used in the provision of transportation services covered by subpart D or subpart E of this part, and pertain only to the specific situation concerning which the determination is made.
