The Department has determined that the basis for this cost
calculation shall be the cost of the alterations to the area containing
the primary function. This approach will enable the public accommodation
or other private entity that is making the alteration to calculate its
obligation as a percentage of a clearly ascertainable base cost, rather
than as a percentage of the total cost, an amount that will change
as accessibility alterations to the path of travel are made.
Paragraph (f)(2) (paragraph (e)(2) in the proposed rule) is
unchanged. It provides examples of costs that may be counted as
expenditures required to provide an accessible path of travel. They
include:
Costs associated with providing an accessible
entrance and an accessible route to the altered area, for example, the
cost of widening doorways or installing ramps;
Costs associated with making restrooms
accessible, such as installing grab bars, enlarging toilet stalls,
insulating pipes, or installing accessible faucet controls;
