Semiannual Regulatory Agenda 

AGENCY: Institute of Museum and Library Services, NFAH.

ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda.

Institute of Museum and Library Services publishes this regulatory agenda describing agency regulations 

under development or review. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nancy E. Weiss, General Counsel, Institute of Museum

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Beginning with the fall 2007 edition, the Internet will be the basic 

means for disseminating the Unified Agenda. The complete Unified Agenda will be available online at 

www.reginfo.gov, in a format that offers users a greatly enhanced ability to obtain information from the 

Agenda database. 

 Because publication in the Federal Register is mandated for the regulatory flexibility agendas 

required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 602), Institute of Museum and Library Services’ printed 

agenda entries include only: 

 

(1) Rules that are in the Agency’s regulatory flexibility agenda, in accordance with the Regulatory 

1

Regulations.gov Tuesday, November 26, 2013 Unified Agenda
Flexibility Act, because they are likely to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of 

small entities; and 

(2) Any rules that the Agency has identified for periodic review under section 610 of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. 

 Printing of these entries is limited to fields that contain information required by the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act’s Agenda requirements. Additional information on these entries is available in the Unified 

Agenda published on the Internet. In addition, for fall editions of the Agenda, the entire Regulatory Plan 

will continue to be printed in the Federal Register, as in past years, including Institute of Museum and 

Library Services’ regulatory plan.

Title: Implementing the Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act

Abstract: The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) proposes rules to implement the Program Fraud Civil Remedies Act of

1986 (PFCRA), which authorizes the NEA to impose, through administrative adjudication, civil penalties and assessments

against any person who makes, submits, or presents a false, fictitious, or fraudulent claim or written statement to the agency or

against any person causing such fraudulent actions to occur. The regulations establish the procedures the NEA will follow in

implementing the provisions of the PFCRA and specifies the hearing and appeal rights of persons subject to penalties and

assessments under the PFCRA.

Title: Implementing the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969

Abstract: The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) proposes rules to implement the National Environmental Policy Act of

1969 (NEPA). Under NEPA, each Federal department and agency conducting or supporting public works activities which affect

the environment must implement the policies established under existing law. NEPA's basic policy is to assure that all branches

of government give proper consideration to the environment prior to undertaking any major federal action that significantly

affects the environment. These rules will ensure the NEA's integration of the NEPA process at the earliest possible time to

reflect environmental values.

Title: Implementation of OMB Guidance on Drug-Free Workplace Requirements

Abstract: The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) is adopting the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance on

drug-free workplace requirements for financial assistance. It is removing its regulation implementing the Government-wide

common rule, currently located at 45 CFR part 1155, and issuing a new regulation to adopt the OMB guidance at 2 CFR part

182. These regulatory actions constitute an administrative simplification that would make no substantive change in NEA's policy

or procedures for drug-free workplace.

Title: Revision of NEA Regulations Implementing Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973

Abstract: The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) is proposing an interim final rule to update the agency's regulation

implementing the federally assisted provisions of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (sec. 504), as well as to update

the term "handicapped" to "individuals with disabilities." The NEA will replace the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards

(UFAS) with a different standard approved by the U.S. Department of Justice. This new standard establishes that compliance

with the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design (2010 Standards) will be the required means of complying with Section 504

accessibility requirements for new construction and alterations. The NEA will update all relevant provisions and definitions.

Title: Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Age in Federally Assisted Programs or Activities

Regulations.gov Tuesday, November 26, 2013 Unified Agenda
Abstract: The purpose of these regulations is to implement provisions of the Act Discrimination Act of 1975 (the "Act"), and as

required by the general, government-wide age discrimination regulations promulgated by the U.S. Department of Health and

Human Services at 45 CFR part 90. The Act prohibits discrimination on the basis of age in programs or activities receiving

federal financial assistance. The Act also permits federally assisted programs or activities, and recipients of federal funds, to

continue to use certain age distinctions and factors other than age which meet the requirements of the Act and its implementing

regulations. NEH's regulations are designed to guide recipients of federal financial assistance from NEH and incorporate the

basic standards set forth in 45 CFR part 90 for determining what constitutes age discrimination. NEH's regulations also discuss

the responsibilities of NEH recipients and the investigations, conciliation, and enforcement procedures NEH has been using and

will continue to use to ensure compliance with the Act.
