DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

[Docket No. FR-4893-N-01]


List of Federally Assisted Programs

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal 
Opportunity, HUD.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces a list of HUD programs that are subject 
to the nondiscrimination provisions in Title VI of the Civil Rights Act 
of 1964.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Pamela Walsh, Director, Program 
Standards Division, Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity, 
Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., 
Washington, DC 20410-2000, telephone (202) 708-2288, extension 7017 
(this is not a toll-free number). Hearing- and speech-impaired 
individuals may access this telephone number via TTY by calling the 
toll-free Federal Information Relay Service at (800) 877-8339.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 11, 1995, HUD published a final 
rule (60 FR 47260) that removed from Title 24 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations any regulation determined unnecessary or obsolete. Among 
the numerous changes, HUD removed Appendix A from 24 CFR part 1. The 
regulations in 24 CFR part 1 effectuate the provisions of Title VI of 
the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000d-2000d-7), which provides 
that ``no person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, 
color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied 
the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or 
activity receiving Federal financial assistance.'' Appendix A was a 
list of HUD's programs that provide Federal financial assistance and, 
therefore, are subject to the nondiscrimination provisions of Title VI 
and 24 CFR part 1.
    In the September 11, 1995, final rule, HUD determined that Appendix 
A was unnecessary because no regulatory requirement is included and the 
information can be provided through other non-rulemaking means. To that 
end, HUD is publishing, and will publish periodically, a list of HUD 
programs that are subject to the provisions of Title VI. This notice is 
provided for information and reference; therefore applicability of 
Title VI and Title VI regulations is not affected by inclusion on or 
omission from this list.
