Nondiscrimination in Federally Assisted Programs of NASA-Effectuation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964

Streszczenie

NASA is amending its regulation implementing Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI) for federally assisted programs to conform more closely to the statutory text and recent revisions by the Department of Justice (DOJ). This action removes provisions establishing disparate-impact liability. The rule also clarifies that Title VI reaches employment practices under this part only where employment is a primary objective of the Federal financial assistance or where intentional discrimination is shown. These changes align NASA's regulation with Title VI and promote consistency across Federal agencies.
