TVA has previously submitted a proposed regulation which would revise the requirements applicable to the construction and maintenance of obstructions in the Tennessee River system and codify policies related to management of shoreline land under the jurisdiction of TVA and, together with other Federal agencies, proposed regulations implementing title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1972, and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 related to the definitions of ``program or activity'' and ``program.'' TVA is therefore publishing a regulatory agenda in voluntary compliance with Executive Order No. 12866. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For further information, please contact the persons listed.

NONDISCRIMINATION IN FEDERALLY ASSISTED PROGRAMS OF TVA-- EFFECTUATION OF TITLE VI OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964 Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant Legal Authority: 42 USC 794; 42 USC 2000d to 2000d-7; 42 USC 6101 to 6107; EO 12250 CFR Citation: 18 CFR 1302; 18 CFR 1307; 18 CFR 1309 Legal Deadline: None Abstract: The Department of Justice proposes to make amendments to its regulations implementing title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (title VI), section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (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 explicitly incorporates the CRRA's definition of ``program or activity'' and ``program'' into the Department's title VI, section 504, and Age Discrimination Act regulations. The Department's proposed regulation will be published as part of a joint Notice of Proposed Rulemaking involving up to 24 Federal agencies, including TVA.
