Section 508 Requirements for Grantees

The information below is specifically for current, future EPA grant recipients (grantees), or cooperative agreement awardees.

As of March 2023, grant or cooperative agreement awardees do not have to adhere to Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act standards. However, awardees must comply with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Please review paragraph 31 of the EPA General Terms and Conditions for specific language. The EPA Grants Office has resources for applicants and awardees as well as policy resources.

The Section 508 Program encourages awardees to make all electronic documentation Section 508 compliant. GSA's Section508.gov site has excellent resources on how to make documents, spreadsheets and presentations compliant.
