Sec. 370.101  Policy.





    (a) It is the policy of HHS that all meetings, conferences, and 

seminars be accessible to persons with disabilities. For the purpose of 

this policy, accessibility is defined as both physical access to 

meeting, conference, and seminar sites, and aids and services to enable 

individuals with sensory disabilities to fully participate in meetings, 

conferences, and seminars.

    (b) In regard to acquisition, the policy is applicable to all 

contracts where the statement of work requires the contractor to conduct 

meetings, conferences, or seminars that are open to the public or 

involve HHS personnel, but not to ad hoc meetings that may be necessary 

or incidental to contract performance.
