I. Background--The August 30, 2000 Common Rule

    On August 30, 2000 (65 FR 52858), twenty Federal agencies, 
including the Department of Housing and Urban Development, published a 
final common rule providing for the enforcement of Title IX of the 
Education Amendments of 1972 (20 U.S.C. 1681 et seq.) (referred to as 
``Title IX''). Title IX prohibits recipients of Federal financial 
assistance from discriminating on the basis of sex in educational 
programs or activities. The Title IX regulations were presented as a 
common rule because the standards established for the enforcement of 
Title IX are the same for all participating agencies. The procedures 
for how an agency will enforce Title IX, including the conduct of 
investigations and compliance reviews, also follows the same structure. 
HUD's Title IX regulations are located at 24 CFR part 3.
    The August 30, 2000 common rule also provides that, by November 30, 
2000, each agency shall publish a notice in the Federal Register that 
identifies its respective programs covered by the Title IX regulations. 
This notice implements this requirement by publishing the list of HUD 
programs subject to the requirements of the common rule. HUD will 
periodically update this notice to reflect changes in the covered 
programs.
