This prohibition applies where a primary objective of the Federal financial assistance is:

(1) To reduce unemployment or to help individuals through employment to meet subsistence needs;

(2) To assist individuals through employment to meet expenses incident to the commencement or continuation of their education or training;

(3) To provide work experience which contributes to the education or training of individuals; or

(4) To provide remunerative activity to individuals who because of severe handicaps cannot be readily absorbed in the competitive labor market.

(b) Where a primary objective of the Federal financial assistance is not to provide employment, but discrimination on the ground of race, color, or national origin in the employment practices of the recipient or other persons subject to this part tends, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, to exclude individuals from participation in, to deny them the benefits of, or to subject them to discrimination under any program to which this part applies, the provisions of paragraph (a) of this section shall apply to the employment practices of the recipient or other persons subject to the regulations, to the extent necessary to assure equality of opportunity to, and nondiscriminatory treatment of, beneficiaries.

(c) Where a program receives financial assistance under the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964, as amended, a grantee may not (directly or through contractual or other arrangements):

(1) Subject an individual to discrimination on the basis of sex in its employment practices in connection with the program; and

[blocks in formation]

(a) Economic Opportunity Assurance. Every application for financial assistance for a program under the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964, as amended, as well as every grant, contract, or agreement with respect to such program shall specifically provide:

(1) That no person with responsibilities in the operation of such programs will discriminate with respect to any such program on the basis of race, creed, color, national origin, sex, political affiliation or beliefs; and

(2) That compliance with such provision shall be determined by this part.

(b) General. Every application for Federal financial assistance to a program to which this subpart applies shall, as a condition to the extension of any Federal assistance, contain or be accompanied by an assurance that the program will be conducted in compliance with all requirements imposed by this part. In the case where Federal financial assistance is to provide or is in the form of personal property, or real property or interest therein or structures thereon, the assurance shall obligate the grantee, or, in the case of

a subsequent transfer, the transferee, for the period during which the property is used for a purpose involving the provision of similar services and benefits, or for as long as the grantee retains ownership or possession of the property, whichever is longer. The Associate Director for Human Rights or his/her designee shall specify the form of the foregoing assurances for each program, and the extent to which like assurances will be required of subgrantees, contractors, and subcontractors, transferees, successors in interest, and other participants in the program. Any such assurance shall include provisions which give the United States a right to seek its judicial enforcement.

(c) Real property. In the case of real property, structures or improvements thereon, or interest therein, which were acquired with Federal financial assistance, or in the case where Federal financial assistance is provided in the form of a transfer of real property or interest therein from the Federal government, the instrument effecting or recording the transfer shall contain a covenant running with the land assuring nondiscrimination for the period during which the real property is used for a purpose for which the Federal financial assistance is extended or for another purpose involving the provision of similar services or benefits, or for as long as the grantee retains ownership or possession of the property, whichever is longer. Where no transfer of property is involved, but property is acquired or improved with Federal financial assistance, the grantee shall agree to include a covenant assuring nondiscrimination in any subsequent transfer of such property. Where the property is obtained from the Federal government, such COVenant may also include a condition coupled with a right to be reserved by CSA to have title to the property revert to the Federal government in the event of the breach of the covenant where at the discretion of the Associate Director for Human Rights or his/her designee such a condition and right of reverter are appropriate to the program under which the real property is obtained and to the nature of the grant and the grantee. In such

event if a transferee of real property proposes to mortgage or otherwise encumber the real property as security for financing construction of new, or improvement of existing facilities on such property for the purposes for which the property was transferred, the Associate Director for Human Rights or his/her designee may agree, upon written request of the transferee to accomplish such financing, and upon such conditions as he/she deems appropriate, to forebear the exercise of such right to have title revert to CSA for so long as the lien of such mortgage or other encumbrance remains effective.

(d) Elementary and Secondary Schools. In the case of any program for the benefit of elementary or secondary school students which, as a necessary part of such program, utilizes to a substantial extent the facilities of an elementary or secondary school or school system, the requirements of § 1010.20-1 shall be deemed to be satisfied if such school or school system:

(1) Is subject to a final order of a court of the United States for the desegregation of such school or school system, and provides an assurance that it will comply with such order, including any future modification of such order; or

(2) Submits a plan for the desegration of such school or school system which the Department of Health, Education and Welfare determines is adequate to accomplish the purposes of Title VI and this part within the earliest practicable time, and provides assurances that it will carry out such plan. In any case in which a final order of a court of the United States for the desegregation of such school or school system is entered after submission of such a plan, such plan shall be revised to conform with such final order, including any future modification of such order.

The provisions of this paragraph do not apply to programs for pre-school children.

(e) Institutions of Higher Education. In the case of any application for Federal financial assistance to an institution of higher education, the assurance required by this paragraph shall

extend to admission practices and to all other practices relating to the treatment of students. The assurance required with respect to an institution of higher education, hospital, or any other institution, insofar as the assurance relates to the institution's practices with respect to admission or other treatment of individuals as students, patients, or clients of the institution or to the opportunity to participate in the provision of services or other benefits to such individuals, shall be applicable to the entire institution unless the institution establishes, to the satisfaction of the Associate Director for Human Rights or his/her designee that the institution's practices in designated parts or programs of the institution in no way affect the beneficiaries of or participants in the programs for which Federal financial assistance is sought. If in any such case, the assistance sought is for the construction of a facility or part of a facility, the assurance shall in any event extend to the entire facility and to facilities operated in connection therewith.

§ 1010.20-2 Required grantee civil rights program.
