The White House and the Department of Justice have directed federal agency civil rights officials to prioritize federal financial assistance (FFA) recipient compliance with federal civil rights laws. The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Civil Rights (DOE-OCR) will provide an overview of civil rights compliance requirements for recipients and subrecipients of DOE FFA. Specific topics include an overview of applicable anti-discrimination statutes related to race, color, national origin, disability, gender, and age; DOE’s civil rights pre-award review process; limited English proficiency (LEP) requirements; and adjudication of civil rights complaints filed with DOE-OCR against DOE FFA recipients.
