NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS ADMINISTRATION


National Historical Publications and Records Commission; Programs 
Subject to Title IX

AGENCY: National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

ACTION: Notice of NHPRC programs covered by 36 CFR Part 1211 (Title 
IX).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice describes the types of financial assistance that 
are provided by National Historical Publications and Records Commission 
(NHPRC) that are covered by Title IX of the Education Amendments of 
1972, as amended (``Title IX''). Title IX prohibits recipients of 
federal financial assistance from discriminating on the basis of sex in 
education programs or activities.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: NHPRC, Nancy Copp, at 202-501-5603, 
email address, [email protected]., fax number 202-501-5601.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NHPRC provides grants for projects that 
focus on documentary publications, records projects and other 
educational programs. The emphasis is placed primarily on the 
dissemination, accessibility and preservation of historical records 
bearing on U.S. history and also to further an understanding and 
appreciation of U.S. history. The program is carried in the Catalog of 
Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) as 89.003, National Historical 
Publications and Records Grants.
    The final common rule for the enforcement of Title IX was published 
in the Federal Register by 21 Federal

agencies, including NARA, on August 30, 2000 (65 FR 52857-52895). 
NARA's portion of the final rule will be codified at 36 CFR Part 1211. 
Subpart F of the Title IX common rule requires each Federal agency that 
awards Federal financial assistance to publish a notice of the federal 
financial assistance covered by the Title IX regulations within 60 days 
after the effective date of the final rule. This notice fulfills that 
requirement for NARA. Failure to list a type of federal assistance in 
this notice does not mean, if Title IX is otherwise applicable, that a 
program or activity is not covered by Title IX.
    Recipients of federal financial assistance from NARA are subject to 
Title IX , but Title IX's anti-discrimination prohibitions are limited 
to the educational components of the recipient's program or activity, 
if any. The following types of NHPRC grants may involve educational 
activities that are covered under 36 CFR part 1211:
    1. Educational Programs and Fellowships. NHPRC provides fellowships 
in Archival Administration (9-10 month training experience in archival 
management), fellowships in Advanced Historical Documentary Editing, 
and the Institute for the editing of Historical Documents.
    2. Records Grants. These grants ensure that records documenting the 
American Experience are saved and made available for public use.
    3. Electronic Records Grants. These grants seek ways to ensure that 
records created today will be useable on tomorrow's technology.
    4. State Boards Grants. These grants provide support for advisory 
bodies for historical records planning and for many projects carried 
out within the states to strengthen the Nation's archival 
infrasturcture.
    5. Publication Grants. These grants provide support for the 
publication of documentary editions that explore the lives and actions 
of important figures and/or to bring to light major themes of U.S. 
history.
