(h) Assurances of Compliance with Civil Rights Requirements. The Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987 provides that the provisions of this assurance apply to the Project, including, but not limited to, the following: (i) CONTRACTOR 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 funds, 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. (ii) CONTRACTOR acknowledges that Executive Order 13166, "Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency (LEP)," seeks to improve access to federally assisted programs and activities for individuals who, because of national origin, are limited in their English proficiency. CONTRACTOR understands that the denial of access to persons to its programs, services and activities because of their limited proficiency in English is a form of national origin discrimination prohibited under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Accordingly, CONTRACTOR shall initiate reasonable steps, or comply with Treasury's directives, to ensure meaningful access to its programs, services and activities to LEP persons. CONTRACTOR 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 Project. (iii) CONTRACTOR agrees to consider the need for language services for LEP persons during development of applicable budgets and when conducting 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 LEP, please visit http://www.lep.gov. (iv) CONTRACTOR acknowledges and agrees that compliance with this assurance constitutes a condition of continued receipt of federal financial assistance and is binding upon CONTRACTOR and CONTRACTOR's successors, transferees and assignees for the period in which such assistance is provided. (v) CONTRACTOR agrees to incorporate the following language in every contract or agreement subject to Title VI and its regulations between the CONTRACTOR and the CONTRACTOR's subcontractors, successors, transferees and assignees: The 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 Department of the Treasury Title VI regulations, 31 CFR Part 22, which are herein incorporated by reference and made apart of this contract (or agreement). Title VI also extends 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 Department of the Treasury Title VI regulations, 31 CFR Part 22, which are herein incorporated by reference and made a part of this contract (or agreement). (vi) CONTRACTOR 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 CONTRACTOR, 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 CONTRACTOR for the period during which it retains ownership or possession of the property. (vii) CONTRACTOR 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. CONTRACTOR shall comply with information requests, on -site compliance reviews, and reporting requirements. (viii) CONTRACTOR shall maintain a complaint log and inform the Department of the Treasury of any accusations 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. CONTRACTOR must also inform the Department of the Treasury if CONTRACTOR has received no complaints under Title VI. (ix) CONTRACTOR 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 agreements between the CONTRACTOR and the administrative agency that made the finding. If the CONTRACTOR settles a case or matter alleging such discrimination, CONTRACTOR must provide documentation of the settlement. If CONTRACTOR has not been the subject of any court or administrative agency finding of discrimination, please so state. If CONTRACTOR makes sub -awards to other agencies or other entities, CONTRACTOR is responsible for assuring that sub -recipients also comply with Title VI and all of the applicable authorities covered in this assurance.
