The fact that the Department has certified a
code with provisions concerning waivers, variances, or equivalent
facilitation shall not be interpreted as an endorsement of actions taken
pursuant to those provisions.
The final rule includes a new Sec. 36.608 concerning model codes.
It was drafted in response to concerns raised by numerous commenters,
many of which have been discussed under General comments (Sec. 36.406).
It is intended to assist in alleviating the difficulties posed by
attempting to certify possibly tens of thousands of codes. It is
included in recognition of the fact that many codes are based on, or
incorporate, model or consensus standards developed by nationally
recognized organizations (e.g., the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI); Building Officials and Code Administrators (BOCA)
International; Council of American Building Officials (CABO) and its
Board for the Coordination of Model Codes (BCMC); Southern Building Code
Congress International (SBCCI)). While the Department will not certify
or precertify model codes, as urged by some commenters, it does wish
to encourage the continued viability of the consensus and model code
process consistent with the purposes of the ADA.
