<P>I got this in my inbox, and am distributing it to several lists. <BR><BR>Dear
Seeing Eye Family,<BR><BR>We need your help! The U.S. Department of Justice is
seeking public comment on its newly proposed definition of a service animal. The
Seeing Eye sent its own comments to the DOJ last Friday, and we urge you to join
us by doing the same by the August 18 deadline.<BR><BR>Numbers count! It is
vitally important that the DOJ hear as many comments as possible. In fact, this
legislation is as significant as the early advocacy work that Morris Frank did
for the dog guide movement decades ago. The fight isn't over, and our position
needs to be heard. Submitting your comments is one of the most important things
you, personally, can do for yourself and all other U.S. dog guide
users.<BR><BR>The areas that seem to be most in need of revision are outlined in
our letter below. Simply stated, we ask that the DOJ eliminate the phrase
"minimal protection" in the new definition; require that the same behavior and
training standards developed for dog guides be applied to all service animals;
delete the "do work" wording by emphasizing task training as a defining factor
in qualifying animals as "service animals;" and include a request that more
guidance on taxi and private transportation access be added to the regulations.
(See the Seeing Eye comments below to further illuminate these points, or to
access a copy of the DOJ's Notice of Proposed Rule Making in either text or PDF
format, you can go to <A
href="http://www.regulations.gov/fdmspublic/component/main?main=DocumentDetail&o=090000648062a604">http://www.regulati<WBR>ons.gov/fdmspubl<WBR>ic/component/<WBR>main?main=<WBR>DocumentDetail&<WBR>o=090000648062a6<WBR>04</A>
.) <BR><BR>You can submit an electronic version of your comments at <A
href="http://www.regulations.gov/fdmspublic/component/main?main=SubmitComment&o=090000648062a604">http://www.regulati<WBR>ons.gov/fdmspubl<WBR>ic/component/<WBR>main?main=<WBR>SubmitComment&<WBR>o=090000648062a6<WBR>04</A>
but you must do so by August 18. Your comments can be as simple as, "I support
The Seeing Eye's position on service animals," but even better is to write your
own opinions on all or some of the issues addressed in our public comment.
<BR><BR>You will have an option to insert comments directly into a field on the
form or send your comments as an attachment. We advise you to write your
comments first before logging onto the site because if you are on the web page
too long, it will "time out" and you will have to start over again. You should
also be aware that all comments, including your own, will be made available for
public viewing online at <A

.<BR><BR>The remainder of this email contains the text from The Seeing Eye's
submitted comment. Thank you for joining us in this
effort.<BR><BR>Sincerely,<BR>Jim Kutsch<BR>****<BR><BR>August 8, 2008<BR><BR>Dr.
James A. Kutsch, Jr., President<BR>The Seeing Eye, Inc.<BR>P.O. Box
375<BR>Morristown, NJ 07963-0375<BR><BR>Re: Revisions to Service Animal
Definition<BR>Docket ID: DOJ-CRT-2008-<WBR>0015-0001 <BR><BR>The Seeing Eye, the
pioneers and innovators of dog guide services, has been providing specially bred
and trained dog guides for blind citizens of the United States since 1929.
Through the efforts of one of our founders, Morris Frank, and other early
graduates of our program, The Seeing Eye was instrumental in gaining access to
all places of public accommodation for people traveling with dog guides. Today,
as more and more people turn to animals for improved health and quality of life,
The Seeing Eye commends the U.S. Department of Justice for its efforts to
clarify its present regulatory language regarding the use of service animals. We
particularly welcome the emphasis on maintaining control of the service animal
at all times in public settings, the requirement of housebreaking and the
Department's effort to formalize its position on emotional support/comfort
animals.<BR><BR>In response to the NPRM published in the Federal Register on
June 17th, The Seeing Eye offers the following comments for the Department's
consideration: <BR><BR>1. In response to question 9, The Seeing Eye believes
that providing "minimal protection" should be removed from the proposed
definition of a service animal.<BR><BR>The Seeing Eye is in agreement with the
concerns expressed by the Coalition of Assistance Dog Organizations (CADO). We
also concur that alternative language can be substituted for "providing minimal
protection" while still adequately representing the tasks of specific service
animals. For instance, despite the fact that dog guides provide minimal
protection to their handlers every day, e.g. stopping at changes in elevation or
maneuvering around obstacles, the Department has successfully included this
concept within the definition of the tasks under "guiding individuals with
impaired vision." Thus, providing minimal protection is intrinsically stated
within the tasks that the animal performs.<BR><BR>2. In response to question 10,
The Seeing Eye believes that the Department should eliminate certain species
from the definition of service animal.<BR><BR>The Seeing Eye agrees with the
need for the Department to establish a practical and reasonable species
parameter as part of its definition of a service animal. While we have no
expertise in the breeding, training and placement of species other than dogs,
The Seeing Eye believes that only animals that are capable of meeting or
exceeding the same high training, behavioral and safety standards as that of
Seeing Eye® dogs are suitable for public access. Some of these standards include
the animal's ability to calmly, quietly and consistently perform its specialized
tasks in public, to urinate and defecate on command and to lie quietly beside
its handler without blocking aisles, doorways, or otherwise be obtrusive in
public settings.<BR><BR>3. In response to Question 11, The Seeing Eye believes
that the Department should not impose a size or weight limitation on service
animals.<BR><BR>The Seeing Eye agrees with the comments submitted by CADO and
further adds that it would be difficult, if not impossible, to enforce such a
regulation.<BR><BR>4. The Seeing Eye is opposed to retaining the term "do work"
in the definition of a service animal and urges the Department to form the basis
of the service animal definition on task training.<BR><BR>The Seeing Eye is
aware that, over the last several years, more than half of the Department's
settlement agreements involving the "reasonable modification" requirement under
Title III involved a public accommodation'<WBR>s refusal to permit a service
animal's entry in a place of public accommodation. These claims make evident the
need for concise, measurable guidance for those seeking a distinction between
legitimate service animals and those used for emotional comfort or support.
<BR><BR>We appreciate the Department's attempt to provide the broadest feasible
access to individuals with service animals by using the term "do work" in its
definition. However, given the fact that this term has historically been the
source of much confusion and misinterpretation, we respectfully ask that the
Department eliminate this language from its newly proposed definition. The
Seeing Eye believes that the newly added examples of tasks performed by service
animals effectively and adequately expand the meaning of service animal to
include the varied services provided by working animals on behalf of individuals
with all types of disabilities. Moreover, task training elevates the animal's
status from a non-task trained animal to a trained service animal that is more
likely to consistently mitigate its owner's disability in public and be easily
identified by the tasks it performs. Again, service animals that are suitable
and appropriate for public access must be held to extremely high
standards.<BR><BR>5. The Seeing Eye urges the Department to include specific
language about denial of service by private transportation providers to people
who use service animals in its regulatory language.<BR><BR>One of the most
common complaints we receive involves taxicab drivers who refuse to transport
our graduates and their Seeing Eye dogs. Many drivers claim to have allergies,
fears or religious beliefs that prohibit them from allowing dogs into their
vehicles. <BR><BR>We realize that this issue is not addressed in the NPRM, but,
nevertheless, we ask that the Department consider incorporating text into the
proposed regulation guidance that specifies that allergies, religious beliefs
and fear of animals are not valid excuses for denying access to passengers with
service animals. <BR><BR>The Seeing Eye appreciates the opportunity to comment
on the proposed service animal revisions. We applaud the Department for its
outstanding work and believe that with the incorporation of the comments noted
above, the revised regulations will promote the responsible use of access rights
and prevent the erosion of societal tolerance for dog guide and other service
animal teams in places of public
accommodation.<BR><BR>------------<WBR>---------<WBR>---------<WBR>---------<WBR>---------<WBR>---------<WBR>-<BR>You
