3091. NONDISCRIMINATION ON THE BASIS OF RACE, COLOR, NATIONAL ORIGIN,
HANDICAP, AND AGE IN PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES RECEIVING FEDERAL FINANCIAL
ASSISTANCE
Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant
Legal Authority: 42 USC 794; 42 USC 2000d to 2000d-7; 42 USC 6101 to
6107; EO 12250
CFR Citation: 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 final regulation, which has
been prepared, will be published as part of a joint rulemaking.
