45 CFR 1203; 45 CFR 1232
Legal Deadline:
None
Abstract:
The Corporation proposes to make amendments to its regulations implementing title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (title VI) and section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1972 (section 504). Together, these statutes prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, and disability in programs and 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. 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 CRAA's definition of "program or activity" and "program" into the Corporation's title VI and section 504 regulations. The Corporation's proposed regulation will be published as part of a joint notice of proposed rulemaking involving up to 24 Federal agencies.
