Abstract:

The above-mentioned statute requires the Secretary of State to compile and update annually, through notice-and-comment rulemaking procedures, a list, by particular longshore activity, of countries where performance of such activity is prohibited by law, regulation, or in practice in the country concerned. According to the statute cited above, the Attorney General will use this list for enforcing restrictions on work performed by crewmembers of vessels from such countries. Compilation of the list itself does not involve any significant costs and is based upon information being provided to the Department of State by U.S. diplomatic missions overseas, as well as by the public. Questions regarding the policy justification for the list and its use are best directed to the Departments of Labor, Transportation, and Justice.

Abstract:

The Department of State participated with 21 other Federal agencies to amend regulations implementing title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (title VI), section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1972 (section 504), and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (Age Discrimination Act). Together, these statutes prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, and age in programs or activities that receive Federal financial assistance. In 1988, the Civil Rights Restoration Act (CRRA) added definitions of "program or activity" and "program" to title VI, section 504, and the Age Discrimination Act. The added definitions were designed to clarify the broad scope of coverage of recipients' programs or activities under these statutes.
