it must comply with applicable provisions of federal laws and policies prohibiting
discrimination, including but not limited to those detailed in paragraph 1.

prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin; Section 504
and 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Pub L. 93-112) as amended which
prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability; Title IX of the Education
Amendments of 1972 (Pub L. 92-318), as amended, which prohibits

reasonable steps to ensure that LEP persons have meaningful access to its
programs in accordance with Department of Treasury implementing regulations
and Department of Justice LEP Policy Guidance. Meaningful access may entail
providing language assistance services, including oral and written translation,
where necessary. The Partner and Sub-Recipients are encouraged to consider the
need for language services for LEP persons served or encountered both in
developing budgets and in conducting programs and activities. Assistance and
information regarding LEP obligations may be found at http://www.lep.gov or by
contacting the IRS Civil Rights Division as indicated on this form.
2. The Partner will conduct its activities so that no person is excluded from
participation in, is denied the benefits of, or is subject to discrimination, as
prohibited by the statutes identified in paragraph 1, in the distribution of services
and/or benefits provided under this federal financial assistance program.

of 1973 (Pub L. 93-112), as amended, Title IX of the Education Amendments of

regulations. All civil rights assurances signed by sub-recipients will be submitted
