U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 2000d-1. Federal authority and financial assistance to programs or activities by way of grant, loan, or contract other than contract of insurance or guaranty; rules and regulations; approval by President; compliance with requirements; reports to Congressional committees; effective date of administrative action
Each Federal department and agency which is empowered to extend
Federal financial assistance to any program or activity, by way of
grant, loan, or contract other than a contract of insurance or
guaranty, is authorized and directed to effectuate the provisions
of section 2000d of this title with respect to such program or
activity by issuing rules, regulations, or orders of general
applicability which shall be consistent with achievement of the
objectives of the statute authorizing the financial assistance in
connection with which the action is taken. No such rule,
regulation, or order shall become effective unless and until
approved by the President. Compliance with any requirement adopted
pursuant to this section may be effected (1) by the termination of
or refusal to grant or to continue assistance under such program or
activity to any recipient as to whom there has been an express
finding on the record, after opportunity for hearing, of a failure
to comply with such requirement, but such termination or refusal
shall be limited to the particular political entity, or part
thereof, or other recipient as to whom such a finding has been made
and, shall be limited in its effect to the particular program, or
part thereof, in which such noncompliance has been so found, or (2)
by any other means authorized by law: Provided, however, That no
such action shall be taken until the department or agency concerned
has advised the appropriate person or persons of the failure to
comply with the requirement and has determined that compliance
cannot be secured by voluntary means. In the case of any action
terminating, or refusing to grant or continue, assistance because
of failure to comply with a requirement imposed pursuant to this
section, the head of the Federal department or agency shall file
with the committees of the House and Senate having legislative
jurisdiction over the program or activity involved a full written
report of the circumstances and the grounds for such action. No
such action shall become effective until thirty days have elapsed
after the filing of such report.
