Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 69 / Monday, April 11, 2022 / Notices 21085 

Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended; 

and Executive orders prohibiting 

discrimination in the delivery of all 

programs and services to the public. 

Federal agencies and entities receiving 

Federal Financial Assistance are 

prohibited from discriminating. Federal 

Financial Assistance is defined as, 

‘‘Federal monies given by grants, 

cooperative agreements, commercial 

special use permits, training, loan/ 

temporary assignment of Federal 

personnel, loan/use of Federal property 

at below market value.’’ 

The equal opportunity laws require 

agencies to conduct compliance reviews 

to ensure that entities receiving Federal 

Financial Assistance from the 

government are adhering to the 

nondiscrimination statues. The statutes 

require that prior to awarding support or 

issuing permits, the Federal government 

shall conduct pre-award reviews to 

ensure that potential recipients 

understand their responsibilities to 

provide services equitable pursuant to 

the law. Thereafter, during the 

partnership with the agency, ongoing 

monitoring will take place to ensure the 

public is being served without any 

barriers or discrimination. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

Forest Service employees will use form 

FS–1700–6, Equal Opportunity 

Compliance Review Record, to 

document demographics (race, 

ethnicity, and gender) and collect 

information regarding actions taken by 

recipients of Federal financial assistance 

to ensure the public receives services 

without discrimination or barriers to 

access, and that recipients’ employees 

understand their customer services role. 

Collection will occur during face-toface meetings or telephone interviews 

conducted by Forest Service employees 

as part of the pre-award and post award 

process. The pre-award interview will 

take place prior to the award of a grant, 

signing of a cooperative agreement, 

letting of commercial special use 

permit, or similar activity. The post 

award interview will take place once 

every 5 years, or upon report/discovery 

of discrimination. 

The information collected will only 

be shared with other Federal agencies 

who share in the financial assistance 

activities with the Forest Service. 

Monitoring reviews have been a 

responsibility of the Federal government 

since 1964. Without the ability to 

monitor recipients of Federal financial 

assistance, the Forest Service would not 

be able to ensure compliance with laws 

and statutes. The Agency would not be 

aware of potential violations, thereby 

resulting in potential discriminatory 

practices.
