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.
