Nondiscrimination in Federally Assisted Programs of the Department of Defense-Effectuation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; Amendment

What the Rule Says It Does

This rule amends DoD regulations to eliminate disparate-impact liability. These amendments align DoD's regulations with Title VI and current DoD policy, avoid constitutional concerns, and serve the public interest. By reducing regulatory burden, they also minimize compliance costs and ensure appropriate stewardship of taxpayer dollars. In addition, these revisions conform to Executive Order 14281. Finally, this rule also makes minor technical updates to correct outdated provisions.

This is the rule's own summary, as the Federal Register prints it.

The Orders It Names

• Executive Order 14185: Restoring America's Fighting Force
• Executive Order 14281: Restoring Equality of Opportunity and Meritocracy

The rule names these orders itself. What it does about them is a reading, and none is recorded here.
