The Attorney General had one year from July 26, 1990 to issue accessible-format regulations for this part, not covering areas the Transportation Secretary handles. Most of these regulations must match existing federal disability-access rules. They must also include standards consistent with the Access Board's guidelines.

(a) In general. The Attorney General had to issue accessible-format regulations to carry out this part within 1 year after July 26, 1990. Those regulations could not cover anything within the Secretary of Transportation's authority under section 12143, 12149, or 12164. (b) Relationship to other regulations. Except for "program accessibility, existing facilities" and "communications," regulations under (a) had to match this chapter and the coordination regulations in part 41 of title 28 of the Code of Federal Regulations, issued by the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare on January 13, 1978, which apply to recipients of federal financial assistance under section 794 of title 29. For "program accessibility, existing facilities" and "communications," the regulations instead had to match part 39 of title 28 of the Code of Federal Regulations, which applies to federally conducted activities under section 794 of title 29. (c) Standards. Regulations under (a) had to include standards for facilities and vehicles covered by this part — other than facilities, stations, rail passenger cars, and vehicles covered by part B. Those standards had to be consistent with the minimum guidelines and requirements the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board issues under section 12204(a).
