Title: Equity Assistance Centers (Formerly Desegregation Assistance Centers (DAC)) 
Abstract:

The Secretary is revising the regulations that govern the Equity Assistance Centers (EAC) program, authorized under title IV of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. 2000c2000c2 and 2000c5 in 34 CFR parts 270 and 272, and remove the regulations that govern the State Educational Agency Desegregation (SEA) program, authorized under title IV of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. 2000c2000c2 and 2000c5 in 34 CFR part 271. The amended EAC regulations govern the application process for new EAC grant awards. They update the definitions applicable to this program; remove the existing selection criteria; and provide the Secretary with flexibility to determine the number and composition of geographic regions for the program. Additionally, the regulations remove the regulations for the SEA program, which is no longer funded.
