 NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION (NASA) Proposed Rule Stage 395. Discrimination on Basis of Disability in Federally Assisted Programs and Activities (Section 610 Review) *Legal Authority:*29 U.S.C. 794, sec 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, amended *Abstract:*
                         This proposed rule will amend 14 CFR 1251 to align with the Department of Justice's (DOJ) implementing regulations incorporating the new accessibility standards. Other amendments include updates to organizational information, use of the term “disability” in lieu of the term “handicap,” changes to definitions, and other sections based on the Americans With Disabilities Act of 2008. Part 1251 implements the federally assisted provisions of section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (section 504), as amended, 29 U.S.C. 794, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability by recipients of Federal Financial Assistance from NASA. Under Executive Order 12250, the United States Attorney General has the authority to coordinate the implementation and enforcement of a variety of civil rights statutes by Federal agencies such as NASA, including section 504. The revisions to this rule are part of NASA's retrospective plan under Executive Order 13563, completed in August 2011. NASA's full plan can be accessed at:

                         NASA is implementing, and thereby giving regulatory effect to, the OMB guidance on drug-free workplace requirements for financial assistance. Further, NASA is relocating existing Agency-specific regulations on drug-free workplace requirements for financial assistance from title 14 to title 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), consistent with the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) guidance assistance. The relocation of existing coverage is an administrative simplification that makes no substantive change in NASA policy or procedures for drug-free workplace requirements for financial assistance. *Timetable:* Action
