Accessibility

The Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) is committed to providing access to our web pages for individuals with disabilities or impairments.

To meet this commitment, we will comply with the requirements of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. Section 508 stipulates that individuals with disabilities, who are members of the public or Federal employees seeking information or services from us, have access to and use of information and data that is comparable to that provided to the public who are not individuals with disabilities or impairments, unless an undue burden would be imposed on us.

Many of the documents on the PRC Web site are in the Adobe Acrobat PDF format. This format is generally not compatible with most screen-reading software. Adobe Systems, Inc. provides information on reading PRC content in their accessibility Web site at http://www.adobe.com/accessibility.html

Adobe Systems, Inc. also provides a free translation service, which converts PDF files to simple HTML orASCII text, at http://www.adobe.com/accessibility/products/reader.html
