Today the FCC released a job posting for a Section 508

technologies
that will help achieve these goals.

The FCC's Section 508 Coordinator will serve as the Electronic
Information Technology Program Manager and technical
advisor/authority to ensure compliance with Section 508
requirements.  The Coordinator will evaluate and recommend
accessibility policies and procedures on electronic and 
information
technology, and ensure operational changes within FCC information
technology systems that meet Section 508 requirements for
accessibility by employees with disabilities and members of the
public seeking access to Commission information.
