18 CFR Ch. XIII

Regulatory Agenda

AGENCY:  Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA).

ACTION:  Semiannual regulatory agenda.

_______________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY:  As a nonregulatory agency, TVA originates few regulations. 
TVA has proposed a 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. TVA, together with other 
Federal agencies, is publishing an agency-specific final rule for 
assuring nondiscrimination on the basis of sex in education programs or 
activities receiving financial assistance from TVA and is proposing 
amendments to regulations implementing Title VI of the Civil Rights Act 
of 1964 (Title VI), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1972 
(Section 504), and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (Age 
Discrimination Act) related to the definitions of ``program or 
activity'' and ``program.'' TVA is therefore publishing a regulatory 
agenda in voluntary compliance with Executive Order 12866.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  For further information, please 
contact the persons listed.

 Edward S. Christenbury,

General Counsel.

4340.  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 1972 (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

[[Page 74801]]

(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 explicity 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.

4341.  NONDISCRIMINATION ON THE BASIS OF SEX IN FEDERALLY 
ASSISTED PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES--IMPLEMENTATION OF TITLE IX OF THE 
EDUCATION AMENDMENTS OF 1972

Priority: Other Significant

Legal Authority: 20 USC 1682 et seq

CFR Citation: 18 CFR 1317

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: On June 17, 1980, the Department of Justice published a 
proposed regulation to implement the requirements of Title IX of the 
Education Amendments of 1972, as amended, which prohibits 
discrimination on the basis of an individual's sex in federally 
assisted educational programs. That regulation was never issued in 
final form. As a result of subsequent statutory amendments, it is 
necessary to revise the prior proposed Title IX regulation and begin a 
new rulemaking process. The Department's regulation will be published 
as a common rule with other agencies that need Title IX regulations.
