Regulatory Agenda

AGENCY: Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA).

ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda.

_______________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY: As a nonregulatory agency, TVA originates few regulations. TVA 
submitted a final regulation which revised the requirements applicable 
to the construction and maintenance of obstructions in the Tennessee 
River system and codified policies related to management of shoreline 
land under the jurisdiction of TVA which was published August 7, 2003. 
TVA has previously submitted, together with other Federal agencies, 
proposed regulations implementing title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 
1964, section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1972, and the Age 
Discrimination Act of 1975 related to the definitions of ``program or 
activity'' and ``program.'' These regulations were published in final 
rule August 26, 2003. TVA is therefore publishing a regulatory agenda 
in voluntary compliance with Executive Order No. 12866.

3924. 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 and the 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.
