FirstNet.com Accessibility Policy

We are committed to making the electronic technologies we deploy accessible to individuals with disabilities. In this effort, we work with the Access Board, an independent Federal agency devoted to accessibility for people with disabilities. The Access Board established Federal standards for electronic and information technology under Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. FirstNet and AT&T worked together to incorporate Section 508 compliance testing in the design, development, and maintenance of this website. For other disability-related information available from the Federal Government, visit the interagency Web portal for people with disabilities at https://www.dol.gov/odep/topics/disability.htm.

Section 508 Requirements

On December 21, 2000, the Access Board published Final Rules on Standards for Electronic and Information Technology (NPRM) and on implementing Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. As amended, Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act requires that each Federal department or agency ensure that individuals with disabilities have access to, and use of, information and data available to persons who do not have disabilities. The law applies to all Federal agencies when they develop, procure, maintain, or use electronic and information technology. Federal agencies must ensure that this data and information is accessible to both Federal employees and the public. FirstNet website operations comply with the standards set by the Access Board in the December 2000 Final Rules, and with the Department of Commerce (DOC) Electronic and Information Technology (EIT) Accessibility Policy.
