[Docket No. FR-4893-N-02]
List of HUD Programs Subject to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act
of 1964 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973
AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal
Opportunity, HUD.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice announces a list of HUD programs that are subject
to the nondiscrimination provisions in Title VI of the Civil Rights Act
of 1964 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Pamela Walsh, Director, Program
Standards Division, Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity,
Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW.,
Room 5246, Washington, DC 20410-2000, telephone (202) 708-2288,
extension 7017 (this is not a toll-free number). Hearing- and speech-
impaired individuals may access this telephone number via TTY by
calling the toll-free Federal Information Relay Service at (800) 877-
8339.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 11, 1995, HUD published a final
rule (60 FR 47260) that removed from Title 24 of the Code of Federal
Regulations any regulation determined unnecessary or obsolete. Among
the numerous changes, HUD removed Appendix A from 24 CFR part 1. The
regulations in 24 CFR part 1 implement the provisions of Title VI of
the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000d--2000d-7), which provides
that ``no person in the United States shall, on the ground of race,
color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied
the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or
activity receiving Federal financial assistance.'' Appendix A was a
list of HUD's programs that provide federal financial assistance and,
therefore, are subject to the nondiscrimination provisions of Title VI
and 24 CFR part 1.
In the September 11, 1995, final rule, HUD determined that Appendix
A was unnecessary because no regulatory requirement is included in
Appendix A and because the information can be provided through other
non-rulemaking means. To that end, HUD is publishing, and will publish
periodically, a list of HUD programs that are subject to the provisions
of Title VI. In November 2004, when HUD most recently republished the
List of Federally Assisted Programs, a reference to Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (23 U.S.C.) was not included. Section 504
prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability and is being
included in this new publication because all of the programs listed
herein are also subject to Section 504. This notice is provided for
information and reference; therefore, applicability of Title VI and
Section 504 and the Title VI and Section 504 implementing regulations
is not affected by inclusion in or omission from this list.
