Recipients of HHS funds must review their policies/practices and submit documents to demonstrate compliance with the Civil Rights Requirements of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Section 504 of the Rehab Act of 1973 and the Age Discrimination Act 1975.
This is a reinstatement.
Compared to last approval: The average burden has been reduced not only because of the web links, but also because OCR developed new sample civil rights policies and attached them to the data request form by way of web links. There are now 9 documents that respondents are required to submit, and OCR developed sample policies for the five longest and most complicated policies. Thus respondents no longer have to create their own. The 4 additional documents require minimal work on the part of the respondents. The web links take the respondent directly to the regulatory requirements as well as to the sample policies/procedures. Therefore, the availability of the new sample policies and the easy access to them will save the respondents much time in preparing their documents for civil rights clearance.
