Section 508 is a standard that is regulated by [[the [[United States Environmental Protection Agency]]. This department ensures that all information and communications technology is accessible to disabled users. Their responsibilities include designing websites, software, hardware, video and multimedia, and telecommunications that meet accessibility standards. The standards themselves were created by an independent federal agency that works on accessibility for people with disabilities known as the [[US Access Board]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.epa.gov/accessibility/what-section-508|title=What is Section 508?|last=US EPA|first=OEI|date=2013-09-26|website=US EPA|language=en|access-date=2019-12-13}}</ref>
