facilities. 36 CFR part 1191, appendix A. The advisory committee will 
make recommendations to the Access Board for updating ADAAG to ensure 
that the guidelines remain a state-of-the-art document which is 
generally consistent with technological developments and changes in 
national standards and model codes, and continue to meet the needs of 
individuals with disabilities. The advisory committee is composed of 
organizations representing individuals with disabilities, model code 
organizations, professional associations, State and local governments, 
building owners and operators, and other organizations. The advisory 
committee has formed the following subcommittees to assist in its work: 
Editorial, Accessible Routes, Communications, Plumbing, and Special 
Occupancies. The subcommittees will present their recommendations to 
the full advisory committee in November 1995. The full advisory 
committee will review the subcommittee recommendations and present 
final recommendations to the Access Board by May 1996.
    The Accessible Routes Subcommittee, Communications Subcommittee, 
Plumbing Subcommittee, and Special Occupancies Subcommittee will meet
