    The Age Discrimination Act of 1975, as amended, is designed to 
prohibit discrimination on the basis of age in programs and activities 
receiving Federal financial assistance. The Act also permits federally 
assisted programs and activities, and recipients of Federal funds, to 
continue to use certain age distinctions and factors other than age 
which meet the requirements of the Act and these regulations.
