Abstract

The EPA is proposing to amend its regulations implementing Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (“Title VI”), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (“Section 504”), Section 13 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972 (Public Law 92-500), and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (“Age Discrimination Act”). The EPA proposes to amend its regulations with regard to compliance information, post-award compliance reviews, and complaint investigations. This proposed rule will improve the EPA’s ability to ensure that recipients of federal financial assistance comply with their affirmative obligation under Title VI and other nondiscrimination statutes not to discriminate, while also ensuring that the EPA has sufficient flexibility and discretion in handling its Title VI and other complaint investigations.
