Accessibility

We are committed to providing an excellent user experience, regardless of disability. We frequently review the site to ensure that it meets or exceeds the requirements of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, which requires that information technology be accessible to people with disabilities. It requires that electronic and information technology developed, procured, maintained, or used by the Federal government be accessible to both employees and members of the public with disabilities.

Definitions of Section 508 standards for web-based information are available from the Access Board.

If you encounter issues with any page on our site that present a challenge for users with disabilities, please use our feedback form to share them with us. To enable us to respond in a manner that will be of most help to you, please indicate the nature of the accessibility problem, your preferred format (electronic format, standard print, large print, etc.), the web address of the requested material, and your full contact information so we can reach you if questions arise while fulfilling your request. We will attempt to correct the accessibility problem you have described so that future attempts to access the website will be successful.

Third-Party Sites

In addition to this website, we make use of social networks like Twitter and Facebook to spread information and enable you to engage with us. These sites may present issues for visitors with disabilities that we are not able to control or remediate. These sites are never used as the sole source of important information about, or as the sole vehicle for communicating with, the consumer bureau.

Here are some of those sites’ accessibility policies:

Twitter does not appear to have an official statement on accessibility.
Flickr has no official statement on accessibility.
