I would like to add that when the department considers the effect of the regulations on small entities/jurisdictions, that you make sure to contain language that will allow websites whose content is relevant only to a small sub-unit within a larger unit to also be exempt. For example, at UC San Diego, there are hundreds of research labs who post a few web pages with information about the principle investigator, student researchers, projects, and papers. These labs often have staff sizes of about 10 individuals, although they are a part of larger units (departments of hundreds of individuals, a university of thousands, and a system of tens of thousands). However, since their web site is being managed by students in the research group, none of whom are web developers, they lack the expertise or the funds to know if they are in compliance with accessibility regulations. As a result, extending these regulations to such groups would likely have the effect of shutting down many individual lab websites.
