Appendix B to Part 1191--Americans With Disabilities Act: Scoping
The following is a description of the corrections made to Appendix
B to Part 1191--Americans with Disabilities Act: Scoping:
1. On page 12, in Sec. 106.5 the term ``amusement attractions'' is
italicized in the second sentence since the term is defined in Sec.
106.5.
2. On page 20, in Sec. 202.5 the word ``or'' in the term
``qualified historic building or facility'' is italicized since the
term is defined in Sec. 106.5.

4. On page 29, Sec. 206.4.4.1 is amended by adding the words
``serving each fixed route or group of fixed routes'' after the term
``public entrance.'' These words were in Sec. 10.3.1(2) of the former
guidelines. The amendment clarifies that, where different entrances
serve different transportation fixed routes or groups of fixed routes,
at least one public entrance serving each fixed route or group of fixed
routes is required to be accessible.
5. On page 34, in Sec. 208.2.3 the term ``facilities'' is
italicized since the term is defined in Sec. 106.5.

``United States Postal Service'' are deleted and a single space is
inserted in their place.
2. On page 80, in Sec. F106.5 the term ``amusement attractions''
is italicized in the second sentence since the term is defined in Sec.
F106.5.
3. On page 87, in Sec. F202.5 the word ``or'' in the term
``qualified historic building or facility'' is italicized since the
term is defined in Sec. F106.5.
4. On page 97, Sec. F206.4.4.1 is amended by adding the words
``serving each fixed route or group of fixed routes'' after the term
``public entrance.'' The amendment is consistent with an amendment made
to Sec. 206.4.4.1 in Appendix B to Part 1191--Americans with
Disabilities Act: Scoping.
5. On page 102, in Sec. F208.2.3 the term ``facilities'' is
italicized since the term is defined in Sec. F106.5; and in Sec.
F208.2.4 one indent is removed and the section is placed in-line with
Sec. F208.2.3.
6. On page 127, in Sec. F233.1 the indent is removed and the
section is placed in-line with Sec. F233.

5. On page 225, Figure 703.3.1 is revised to correctly reflect the
requirements in Table 703.3.1.
6. On page 247, three sections are corrected. In the exception
under Sec. 806.2.3, the term ``space'' is italicized the second time
the term is used since the term is defined in Sec. Sec. 106.5 and
F106.5. Section 806.2.4 is amended to clarify that at least one
bathroom in an accessible guest room is required to be accessible; to
reference the applicable requirements for accessible toilet and bathing
fixtures in Chapter 6; and to permit accessible toilet and bathing
fixtures to be located in more than one toilet or bathing area,
provided that travel between the fixtures does not require travel
between other parts of the guest room. In Sec. 806.2.4.1, the italics
