No, the last bit you quote isn't relevant to ebooks used by a blind person, only to organisations distributing copies of copyright material specifically for the blind.

Any blind person* in the US may remove DRM from ebook formats for their own use, if the DRM stops them using the ebook.



* blind or "other physically handicapped readers certified by competent authority as unable to read normal printed material as a result of physical limitations"
