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: http://www.nasa.gov/open.

amends 14 CFR 1261 subpart 4 to make

399. • NASA Implementation of OMB 

Guidance for Drug-Free Workplace 

Requirements (Financial Assistance) 

(Section 610 Review) 

Legal Authority: 51 U.S.C. 20113(C) 

Abstract: 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.
