             ASSURANCES OF COMPLIANCE WITH CIVIL RIGHTS REQUIREMENTS


                        ASSURANCES OF COMPLIANCE WITH TITLE VI OF THE
                                         CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964


        As a condition of receipt of federal financial assistance from the Department of the Treasury, the
recipient named below (hereinafter referred to as the “Recipient”) provides the assurances stated herein. The
federal financial assistance may include federal grants, loans and contracts to provide assistance to the
Recipient’s beneficiaries, the use or rent of Federal land or property at below market value, Federal training, a
loan of Federal personnel, subsidies, and other arrangements with the intention of providing assistance. Federal
financial assistance does not encompass contracts of guarantee or insurance, regulated programs, licenses,
procurement contracts by the Federal government at market value, or programs that provide direct benefits.
      The assurances apply to all federal financial assistance from or funds made available through the
Department of the Treasury, including any assistance that the Recipient may request in the future.
       The Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987 provides that the provisions of the assurances apply to all of
the operations of the Recipient’s program(s) and activity(ies), so long as any portion of the Recipient’s
program(s) or activity(ies) is federally assisted in the manner prescribed above.


1. Recipient ensures its current and future compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as
   amended, which prohibits exclusion from participation, denial of the benefits of, or subjection to
   discrimination under programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance, of any person in the
   United States on the ground of race, color, or national origin (42 U.S.C. § 2000d et seq.), as implemented by
   the Department of the Treasury Title VI regulations at 31 CFR Part 22 and other pertinent executive orders
   such as Executive Order 13166, directives, circulars, policies, memoranda, and/or guidance documents.
2. Recipient acknowledges that Executive Order 13166, “Improving Access to Services for Persons with
   Limited English Proficiency,” seeks to improve access to federally assisted programs and activities for
   individuals who, because of national origin, have Limited English proficiency (LEP). Recipient
   understands that denying a person access to its programs, services, and activities because of LEP is a form
   of national origin discrimination prohibited under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the
   Department of the Treasury’s implementing regulations. Accordingly, Recipient shall initiate reasonable
   steps, or comply with the Department of the Treasury’s directives, to ensure that LEP persons have
   meaningful access to its programs, services, and activities. Recipient understands and agrees that
   meaningful access may entail providing language assistance services, including oral interpretation and
   written translation where necessary, to ensure effective communication in the Recipient’s programs,
   services, and activities.
3. Recipient agrees to consider the need for language services for LEP persons when Recipient develops
   applicable budgets and conducts programs, services, and activities. As a resource, the Department of the
   Treasury has published its LEP guidance at 70 FR 6067. For more information on taking reasonable steps
   to provide meaningful access for LEP persons, please visit http://www.lep.gov.
                                                                                                                    1

4. Recipient acknowledges and agrees that compliance with the assurances constitutes a condition of continued
   receipt of federal financial assistance and is binding upon Recipient and Recipient’s successors, transferees,
   and assignees for the period in which such assistance is provided.
5. Recipient acknowledges and agrees that it must require any sub-grantees, contractors, subcontractors,
   successors, transferees, and assignees to comply with assurances 1-4 above, and agrees to incorporate the
   following language in every contract or agreement subject to Title VI and its regulations between the
   Recipient and the Recipient’s sub-grantees, contractors, subcontractors, successors, transferees, and
   assignees:


       The sub-grantee, contractor, subcontractor, successor, transferee, and assignee shall comply with Title
       VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits recipients of federal financial assistance from
       excluding from a program or activity, denying benefits of, or otherwise discriminating against a person
       on the basis of race, color, or national origin (42 U.S.C. § 2000d et seq.), as implemented by the
       Department of the Treasury’s Title VI regulations, 31 CFR Part 22, which are herein incorporated by
       reference and made a part of this contract (or agreement). Title VI also includes protection to persons
       with “Limited English Proficiency” in any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance, 42
       U.S.C. § 2000d et seq., as implemented by the Department of the Treasury’s Title VI regulations, 31
       CFR Part 22, and herein incorporated by reference and made a part of this contract or agreement.


6. Recipient understands and agrees that if any real property or structure is provided or improved with the aid
   of federal financial assistance by the Department of the Treasury, this assurance obligates the Recipient, or
   in the case of a subsequent transfer, the transferee, for the period during which the real property or structure
   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. If any personal property is provided, this assurance obligates
   the Recipient for the period during which it retains ownership or possession of the property.


7. Recipient shall cooperate in any enforcement or compliance review activities by the Department of the
   Treasury of the aforementioned obligations. Enforcement may include investigation, arbitration, mediation,
   litigation, and monitoring of any settlement agreements that may result from these actions. The Recipient
   shall comply with information requests, on-site compliance reviews and reporting requirements.


8. Recipient shall maintain a complaint log and inform the Department of the Treasury of any complaints of
   discrimination on the grounds of race, color, or national origin, and limited English proficiency covered by
   Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and implementing regulations and provide, upon request, a list of all
   such reviews or proceedings based on the complaint, pending or completed, including outcome. Recipient
   also must inform the Department of the Treasury if Recipient has received no complaints under Title VI.


9. Recipient must provide documentation of an administrative agency’s or court’s findings of non-compliance
   of Title VI and efforts to address the non-compliance, including any voluntary compliance or other
                                                                                                                 2

    agreements between the Recipient and the administrative agency that made the finding. If the Recipient
    settles a case or matter alleging such discrimination, the Recipient must provide documentation of the
    settlement. If Recipient has not been the subject of any court or administrative agency finding of
    discrimination, please so state.


10. If the Recipient makes sub-awards to other agencies or other entities, the Recipient is responsible for
    ensuring that sub-recipients also comply with Title VI and other applicable authorities covered in this
    document State agencies that make sub-awards must have in place standard grant assurances and review
    procedures to demonstrate that that they are effectively monitoring the civil rights compliance of sub-
    recipients.


       The United States of America has the right to seek judicial enforcement of the terms of this assurances
document and nothing in this document alters or limits the federal enforcement measures that the United States
may take in order to address violations of this document or applicable federal law.


       Under penalty of perjury, the undersigned official(s) certifies that official(s) has read and understood the
Recipient’s obligations as herein described, that any information submitted in conjunction with this assurances
document is accurate and complete, and that the Recipient is in compliance with the aforementioned
nondiscrimination requirements.
