Do EPA Actions or the Promising Practices impact any obligations the States may have under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and other non‐discrimination statutes?

As recipients of federal financial assistance, States have affirmative obligations under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and other non‐discrimination statutes. This notice does not address or modify those obligations. For further information about the obligations under these statutes, please refer to EPA’s Guidance to Environmental Protection Agency Financial Recipients Regarding Title VI Prohibition Against National Origin Discrimination Affecting Limited English Proficient Persons (69 FR 35602) and Title VI Public Involvement Guidance for EPA Assistance Recipients Administering Environmental Permitting Programs (71 FR 14207).
