Sec. 6.152  Program accessibility: Electronic and information technology.

    (a) When developing, procuring, maintaining, or using electronic and 
information technology, the Commission shall ensure, unless an undue 
burden would be imposed on the agency, that the electronic and 
information technology allows, regardless of the type of medium of the 
technology:
    (1) individuals with disabilities who are employees to have access 
to and use of information and data that is comparable to the access to 
and use of the information and data by employees who are not individuals 
with disabilities; and
    (2) individuals with disabilities who are members of the public 
seeking information or services from the Commission to have access to 
and use of information and data that is comparable to the access to and 
use of the information and data by members of the public who are not 
individuals with disabilities.
    (b) When the development, procurement, maintenance, or use of 
electronic and information technology that meets the standards published 
by the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board 
pursuant to section 508(a)(2) of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as 
amended, would impose an undue burden on the Commission, the Commission 
shall provide individuals with disabilities covered by paragraph (a) of 
this section with the information and data involved by an alternative 
means of access that allows such individuals to use the information and 
data.
    (c) This section shall not apply to any matter legally exempted by 
section 508, by the standards referenced in paragraph (b) of this 
section, or by other applicable law or regulation. Nothing in this 
section shall be construed to limit any right, remedy, or procedure 
otherwise available under any provision of federal law (including 
sections 501 through 505 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended) 
that provides greater or equal protection for the rights of individuals 
with disabilities than section 508.
