Appendix B to Part 1191--Americans With Disabilities Act: Scoping

    The following is a description of the corrections made to Appendix 
B to Part 1191--Americans with Disabilities Act: Scoping:
    1. On page 12, in Sec.  106.5 the term ``amusement attractions'' is 
italicized in the second sentence since the term is defined in Sec.  
106.5.
    2. On page 20, in Sec.  202.5 the word ``or'' in the term 
``qualified historic building or facility'' is italicized since the 
term is defined in Sec.  106.5.
    3. On page 22, Sec.  203.9 is amended to exclude raised courtroom 
stations from the general exception for small, elevated employee work 
areas. There is a specific exception for raised courtroom stations in

    4. On page 29, Sec.  206.4.4.1 is amended by adding the words 
``serving each fixed route or group of fixed routes'' after the term 
``public entrance.'' These words were in Sec.  10.3.1(2) of the former 
guidelines. The amendment clarifies that, where different entrances 
serve different transportation fixed routes or groups of fixed routes, 
at least one public entrance serving each fixed route or group of fixed 
routes is required to be accessible.
    5. On page 34, in Sec.  208.2.3 the term ``facilities'' is 
italicized since the term is defined in Sec.  106.5.

in the second sentence since the term is defined in Sec.  106.5.

``United States Postal Service'' are deleted and a single space is 
inserted in their place.
    2. On page 80, in Sec.  F106.5 the term ``amusement attractions'' 
is italicized in the second sentence since the term is defined in Sec.  
F106.5.

``qualified historic building or facility'' is italicized since the 
term is defined in Sec.  F106.5.
    4. On page 97, Sec.  F206.4.4.1 is amended by adding the words 
``serving each fixed route or group of fixed routes'' after the term 
``public entrance.'' The amendment is consistent with an amendment made 
to Sec.  206.4.4.1 in Appendix B to Part 1191--Americans with 
Disabilities Act: Scoping.
    5. On page 102, in Sec.  F208.2.3 the term ``facilities'' is 
italicized since the term is defined in Sec.  F106.5; and in Sec.  
F208.2.4 one indent is removed and the section is placed in-line with
