3638. NONDISCRIMINATION ON THE BASIS OF RACE, COLOR, NATIONAL ORIGIN,
HANDICAP, AND AGE IN PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES RECEIVING FEDERAL FINANCIAL
ASSISTANCE
Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant
Legal Authority: 42 USC 2000d to 2000d-7; 29 USC 794
CFR Citation: 45 CFR 1110; 45 CFR 1170
Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) proposes to
make amendments to its regulations implementing title VI of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964 (title VI) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act
of 1972 (section 504). Together, these statutes prohibit discrimination
on the basis of race, color, national origin, and disability 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. 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 explicitly incorporates the
CRRA's definition of ``program or activity'' and ``program'' into the
NEH's title VI and section 504 regulations. The NEH's proposed
regulations will be published as part of a joint Department of Justice
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.
