Unified Agenda
22 CFR Ch. II
AGENCY:
U.S. Agency for International Development.
ACTION:
Semiannual regulatory agenda.
SUMMARY:
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is publishing this agenda as required by Executive Order 12866, "Regulatory Planning and Review" (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), and the Regulatory Flexibility Act. This agenda reports the status of those regulations currently under review and gives USAID's plan for the issuance of proposed regulations during the next 12 months. It is expected that the information provided in this agenda will enable the public to be more aware of and to participate more effectively in USAID's regulatory process.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
General: For further information on the agenda or the review list in general, contact: Joanne M. Paskar, Chief, Bureau for Management, Office of Administrative Services, Information and Records Division, U.S. Agency for International Development, Washington, DC 20523; Telephone (202) 712-1217, E-mail: jpaskar@usaid.gov.
Specific: For further information about any particular item on the agenda, contact the individual listed as the contact for that item.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Executive Order 12866 and the Regulatory Flexibility Act require the semiannual publication in the Federal Register of an agenda of regulations. The Regulatory Flexibility Act applies only to regulations for which a notice of proposed rulemaking was issued on or after September 19, 1980. USAID is required to publish an agenda listing all the regulations it expects to propose or promulgate that are likely to have a "significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities." The Executive order became effective on September 30, 1993, and it is required that USAID publish a listing of all the regulations it expects to have under active consideration for proposal or review during the coming one-year period.
Roberto J. Miranda, Director of Administrative Services.

This new AIDAR part will also provide for contractual coverage of Rights in Data in USAID's contracts performed overseas and awarded to U.S. organizations, provide guidance on Rights in Data coverage for overseas contracts with non-U.S. entities, and provide an alternate paragraph to add to the applicable FAR clause to reserve USAID's right to restrict release of data when release may negatively impact the Government's development or diplomatic relationship with the cooperating countries.

2777. NONDISCRIMINATION ON THE BASIS OF RACE, COLOR, NATIONAL ORIGIN, HANDICAP, AND AGE IN PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES RECEIVING FEDERAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Agency:
Agency for International Development (AID)
Priority:
Substantive, Nonsignificant
Legal Authority:
42 USC 794; 42 USC 2000d to 2000d-7; 42 USC 6101 to 6107; EO 12250
CFR Citation: (To search for a specific CFR, visit the Code of Federal Regulations.)

Legal Deadline:
None
Abstract:
The Agency for International Development proposes to make amendments to its 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 and added a definition of "program or activity" to 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. The promulgation of this proposed regulation explicitly incorporates the CRRA's definition of "program or activity" and "program" into the Department's title VI, section 504, and Age Discrimination Act regulations. The Department's proposed regulation will be published as part of a joint Notice of Proposed Rulemaking involving up to 24 Federal agencies.
