Sec.  1232.14  Existing facilities.

    (a) A recipient shall operate each program or activity to which this 
part applies so that when each part is viewed in its entirety it is 
readily accessible and usable by handicapped persons. This paragraph 
does not require a recipient to make each of its existing facilities or 
every part of a facility accessible to and usable by handicapped 
persons.
    (b) A recipient is not required to make structural changes in 
existing facilities where other methods are effective in achieving 
compliance with this section. Where structural changes are necessary to 
comply with paragraph (a) of this section, such changes shall be made as 
soon as practicable, but in no event later than three years after the 
effective date of the regulation.
    (c) In the event that structural changes to facilities are necessary 
to meet the requirement of paragraph (a) of this section, a recipient 
shall develop, within six months of the effective date of this part, a 
transition plan which sets forth in detail the steps necessary to 
complete the changes, and a schedule for taking those steps. The plan 
shall be developed with the assistance of interested persons, including 
handicapped persons or organizations representing handicapped persons. A 
copy of the plan shall be made available for public inspection.
