Title: Nondiscrimination in Federally Assisted Programs | |
Abstract: This rule proposes to amend DOT's regulations implementing Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1972 (Section 504), and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (Age Discrimination Act). Together, these statutes prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, and age in programs or 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 and the Age Discrimination Act. 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 incorporates the CRRA's definition of "program or activity" and "program" into Title VI, Section 504, and the Age Discrimination Act regulations. This proposed regulation also promotes consistency and enforceability of these statutes. This is a joint notice of proposed rulemaking with other Federal agencies. | |
