    (a) A recipient, other than a small recipient, shall take 
appropriate initial and continuing steps to notify participants, 
beneficiaries, applicants and employees, including those with impaired 
vision or hearing, and unions or professional organizations holding 
collective bargaining or professional agreements with the recipient, 
that it does not discriminate on the basis of handicap in violation of 
Section 504 and of this part. The notification shall state, where 
appropriate, that the recipient does not discriminate in the admission 
or access to, or treatment or employment in, its programs and 
activities. The notification shall also include an identification of the 
responsible employee designated pursuant to Sec. 8b.7(a). A recipient 
shall make the initial notification required by this paragraph within 90 
days of the effective date of this part. Methods of initial and 
continuing notification may include the posting of notices, publications 
in newspapers and magazines, placement of notices in recipient's 
publications, and distribution of memoranda or other written 
communication. A recipient shall take appropriate steps to ensure that 
notice is available to persons with impaired vision or hearing.
    (b) If a recipient publishes or uses recruitment materials or 
publications containing general information made available to 
participants, beneficiaries, applicants, or employees, it shall include 
in those materials or publications a statement of the policy described 
in paragraph (a) of this section. A recipient may meet the requirement 
of this paragraph either by including appropriate inserts in existing 
materials and publications, or by revising and reprinting the materials 
and publications.
