Title: Unlawful Discrimination on the Basis of Disability in Programs or Activities Receiving Federal Financial Assistance From, or Conducted by, the DoD | |
Abstract:
DoD is proposing to amend its regulations prohibiting unlawful discrimination on the basis of disability in programs or activities receiving Federal financial assistance from, or conducted by, DoD. These revisions update and clarify the obligations that section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (section 504), imposes on recipients of Federal financial assistance and DoD Components, and the obligations that the Architectural Barriers Act imposes on DoD Components. The updates also clarify the procedures for resolving complaints regarding allegations that DoD Components failed to make information and communication technology accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities in accordance with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, as amended (section 508). Consistent with the DOJ section 504 coordination regulation, on April 8, 1982, DoD promulgated 32 CFR part 56, implementing section 504 within the Department. Thirty-four years later, there is a compelling need to clarify and update this regulation to ensure that DoD policies reflect the most current Federal law and policies regarding unlawful nondiscrimination on the basis of disability. |
