Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Sex

in Education Programs or Activities

Receiving Federal Financial

Assistance

AGENCY: U.S. Agency for International

Development (USAID).

ACTION: Notice of U.S. Agency for

International Development Financial

Assistance Subject to Title IX of the

Education Amendments of 1972, as

amended.

SUMMARY: In accordance with Subpart F

of the final common rule for the

enforcement of Title IX of the Education

Amendments of 1972, as amended

(‘‘Title IX’’), this notice lists federal

financial assistance administered by

USAID that is covered by Title IX. Title

IX prohibits recipients of federal

financial assistance from discriminating

on the basis of sex in education

programs or activities. Subpart F of the

Title IX common rule requires each

federal agency that awards federal

financial assistance to publish in the

Federal Register a notice of the federal

financial assistance covered by the Title

IX regulations within sixty (60) days

after the effective date of the final

common rule. The final common rule

for the enforcement of Title IX was

published in the Federal Register by

twenty-one (21) federal agencies,

including USAID, on August 30, 2000,

65 FR 52857–52895). USAID’s portion

of the final common rule will be

codified at 22 CFR part 229.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title IX

prohibits recipients of federal financial

assistance from discriminating on the

basis of sex in educational programs or

activities. Specifically, the statute states

that ‘‘[n]o person in the United States

shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded

from participation in, be denied the

benefits of, or be subjected to

discrimination under any education

program or activity receiving Federal

financial assistance,’’ with specific

exceptions for various entities,

programs, and activities. 20 U.S.C.

1681(a). Title IX and the Title IX

common rule prohibit discrimination on

the basis of sex in the operation of, and

the provision or denial of benefits by,

education programs or activities

conducted not only by educational

institutions but by other entities as well.

List of Federal Financial Assistance

Administered by the U.S. Agency for

International Development to Which

Title IX Applies

Note: All domestic recipients of federal

financial assistance from USAID are subject

to Title IX, but Title IX’s anti-discrimination

prohibitions are limited to the educational

components of the recipient’s program or

activity, if any.

Failure to list a type of federal assistance

below shall not mean, if Title IX is otherwise

applicable, that a program or activity is not

covered by Title IX.

The following types of federal financial

assistance were derived from Appendix A of

USAID’s regulations effectuating Title VI of

the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 22 U.S.C. Part

209, and section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act

of 1973, 22 U.S.C. Part 217.
