Recommendations

Develop and formalize Section 508(h) product monitoring procedures, which should include applicable key metrics to evaluate all Section 508(h) submissions annually and a process to conduct full program evaluations if any of the metrics indicate potential issues.

Involve the Compliance Office in determining who is responsible for deeming a Compliance Office review of Section 508(h) submissions appropriate and needed. Once this determination has been made, RMA should formalize this role and process in its guidance.
