"Movie Captioning and Video Description [for Movies Shown at Movie
Theaters]".
1st paragraph of the summary from the Fact Sheet:
"Summary: The Department is providing advance notice that it is
considering whether to propose revising the title III regulations to
require movie theater owners and operators to show movies with
closed captions and video description in their theaters at least
fifty percent of the time. The purpose of the notice is to discuss
how best to frame such a requirement and to determine the costs and
benefits of any such requirement."
Sincerely,

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of
issues relating to the selection, evaluation,
acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current
and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It
is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for
video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between
libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and
distributors.
