Title: ●Nondiscrimination in Programs or Activities Conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture 
Abstract: USDA proposes to amend its regulation on nondiscrimination in programs or activities conducted by the Department. This regulation, adopting the nondiscrimination principles of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and applying them to programs and activities conducted by USDA, was first established in 1964. The changes are proposed to clarify the roles and responsibilities of USDA's Office of the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights and USDA agencies in enforcing nondiscrimination in programs or activities conducted by the Department and to strengthen USDA's civil rights compliance and complaint processing activities to better protect the rights of USDA customers.
