Appendix A to each regulation includes a section-by-section analysis of the rule and responses to public comments on the proposed rule.

Appendix B to the Title III regulation discusses major changes in the ADA Standards for Accessible Design and responds to public comments received on the proposed rules.

Implementation dates: 

• The final rules will take effect March 15, 2011
