The following pages cover my attempts to deal directly with the ADA-
Access Board and the Dept. of Justice (DOJ) in trying to resolve these
areas.
The way the ADA is currently being strictly interpreted there is not a
premanufactured (acrylic/gel-coat) shower stall that meets the ADA.
Also the ADA-Access Board nor DOJ will answer the question of whether
they will accept the revised CABO/ANST A117.1-1992 standard entitled
"American National Standard for Accessible and Usable Buildings and
Facilities." The ADA-Access Board was on the Committee that revised the
CABO/ANSI A117.1-1992 which was published in December 1992. Some of my
questions would be answered by ADA/DOJ accepting the verbage contained in
the new CABO/ANSI A117.1.
All of the pre-March 10, 1992 information was sent to or hand delivered
or both to both the ADA-Access Board and the Dept. of Justice. The first
letter written was acknowledged by the DOJ and they had promised to respond
"expeditiously." I feel that answers to my letters should not take (7)
seven months much less after seven months not even to know when you will
receive an answer.
