508
"In 1998, Congress amended the Rehabilitation Act to require Federal agencies to make their electronic and information technology accessible to people with disabilities. Inaccessible technology interferes with an individual's ability to obtain and use information quickly and easily. Section 508 was enacted to eliminate barriers in information technology, to make available new opportunities for people with disabilities, and to encourage development of technologies that will help achieve these goals. The law applies to all Federal agencies when they develop, procure, maintain, or use electronic and information technology. Under Section 508 (29 U.S.C. ‘ 794d), agencies must give disabled employees and members of the public access to information that is comparable to the access available to others. It is recommended that you review the laws and regulations listed below to further your understanding about Section 508 and how you can support implementation." - from www.section508.gov

OPCOM
Operational Command (OPCOM) will be responsible for the mission execution of our Strategy for Marine Safety, Security, and Stewardship. OPCOM would be formed by reorganizing the USCG command and control structure for operations and placing responsibility for all USCG operations under the direction of one field command instead of two Area Commands. OPCOM would serve as the single point of accountability for planning and executing USCG operations and would reside primarily at existing USCG facilities in the Portsmouth/Norfolk, Virginia area.
