Department of Transportation Title VI Regulation

The document is a response to a memorandum requesting comments on a proposed Department of Transportation regulation under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The conclusions reached in the document include approval of certain provisions that align with previous recommendations and no objection to provisions related to property situated in air space acquired as part of the assisted program. The document also raises questions about the appropriateness of an affirmative action provision in employment practices, the need for amendments to deal with assistance extended under previous regulations, and confusion in the use of the term "programs" in the proposed regulation.
