          Pursuant to section 801(a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a
          major rule promulgated by the Architectural and Transportation Barriers
          Compliance Board (Access Board), entitled Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
          Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings and Facilities; Architectural Barriers Act
          (ABA) Accessibility Guidelines (RIN: 3014-AA20). We received the rule on July 22,
          2004. It was published in the Federal Register as a final rule on July 23, 2004.
          69 Fed. Reg. 44084.

          buildings and facilities covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and
          the Architectural Barriers Act of 1968.

          steps required by section 801(a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the

          requirements.
