For textbooks published on or after , the publisher must also file the wholesale price of an electronic file that contains the text of the textbook, and of all instructional materials the publisher offers with it, in the national instructional materials accessibility standard code for translating the text into formats including braille, audio, digital text or large print.
The list wholesale price filed for any specified number of those electronic files may not exceed the list wholesale price for the same number of the printed version of the textbook and materials. For textbooks published on or after , the publisher sends one copy of the electronic file for the entire textbook and all its instructional materials in NIMAS code, at no cost, to the national instructional materials access center.
