This is part of "section 508", and *all* web sites run by
organizations that receive US government monies are supposed to comply
with it. The government doesn't do a lot to enforce this, though.

FWIW, the last time I checked, the question of whether or not a web
site that wasn't covered by section 508 was covered by the ADA was
still up in the air, hinging on whether or not a web site constituted
a "public place" (but it's been a while since I checked).
