Space Administration (NASA).

ACTION: Notice of programs and

activities receiving financial assistance

from the National Aeronautics and

Space Administration that are covered

by 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, 20

U.S.C. 1681, et seq. (‘‘Title IX’’) this

notice lists those programs and

activities that receive financial

assistance from NASA and are 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 requires each Federal agency

that awards Federal financial assistance

to publish in the Federal Register a

notice of the programs covered by the

Title IX regulations within sixty (60)

days after the effective date (September

29, 2000) of the final common rule. The

final common rule for the enforcement

of Title IX was published in the Federal

Register by twenty (20) Federal

agencies, including NASA, on August

30, 2000, (65 FR 52857–52895).

DATES: Effective December 12, 2000.

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). This statute was modeled after

Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,

42 U.S.C. 2000d et seq., which prohibits

discrimination on the basis of race,

color, and national origin in all

programs or activities that receive

Federal financial assistance. The goal of

Title IX is to ensure that Federal funds

are not utilized for and do not support

sex-based discrimination, and that

individuals have equal opportunities,

without regard to sex, to pursue, engage

or participate in, and benefit from

academic, extracurricular, research,

occupational training, employment, or

other educational programs or activities.
