TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY

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 submitted a proposed 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, 
with other Federal agencies, has submitted proposed regulations 
implementing title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, section 504 of 
the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 
related to the definitions of `program or activity' or `program.' TVA 
will submit a final regulation amending TVA's rules regarding 
restrictions on lobbying to make inflation adjustments for the range of 
civil monetary penalties. TVA is therefore publishing a regulatory 
agenda in voluntary compliance with Executive Order 12866.

4155. 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 1973 (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 (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 explicitly 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.
