Краткое содержание

By this rule, the Department of Commerce (Department) amends its regulations implementing Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI) to eliminate provisions concerning disparate-impact liability and affirmative action. These amendments align the Department's regulations with Title VI's original public meaning, avoid constitutional concerns, reduce compliance costs, and serve the public interest. In addition, these revisions implement changes directed in Executive Order 14281.
