NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION (NASA)

Proposed Rule Stage

246. Nondiscrimination on Basis of Handicap (Section 610 Review)

    Legal Authority: 29 U.S.C. 794, sec 504 of the Rehabilitation Act 
of 1973, amended
    Abstract: This proposed rule amends 14 CFR 1251 to align with the 
Department of Justice's (DOJ) implementing regulations incorporating 
the new accessibility standards. Other amendments include updates to 
organizational information, use of the term ``disability'' in lieu of 
the term ``handicap,'' changes to definitions, and other sections based 
on the Americans with Disabilities Act of 2008.
    Part 1251 implements the federally assisted provisions of section 
504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (section 504), as amended, 29 
U.S.C. section 794, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of 
disability by recipients of Federal Financial Assistance from NASA. 
Under Executive Order 12250, the United States Attorney General has the 
authority to coordinate the implementation and enforcement of a variety 
of civil rights statutes by Federal agencies such as NASA, including 
section 504.
    The revisions to this rule are part of NASA's retrospective plan 
under Executive Order 13563 completed in August 2011. NASA's full plan 
can be accessed at: http://www.nasa.gov/open.
