Alteration of Human Rights Beyond Borders
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) continues to adhere to Civil Rights Laws and Regulations, as outlined in Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This legislation prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, colour, national origin, disability, sex, and age within the EPA.
For those who wish to file a complaint of discrimination, a clear and concise brochure titled 'How to File a Complaint of Discrimination' is available for download. Additionally, a Spanish version titled 'Cu00f3mo presentar una querella de discriminaciu00f3n' is also available.
The EPA's commitment to civil rights is further demonstrated by the presence of the Office of External Civil Rights Compliance. This office enforces federal civil rights laws within the EPA, including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It also prohibits intimidation and retaliation by applicants and recipients of financial assistance from the EPA.
A Case Resolution Manual and Civil Rights Guidance on Procedural Safeguards are also available for reference. These resources aim to provide clarity and transparency in the complaint resolution process.
Recently, the State of Louisiana was granted a permanent injunction by the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana on August 22, 2024. This injunction prevents the EPA from imposing or enforcing any disparate-impact or cumulative-impact-analysis requirements under Title VI against any entity in the State of Louisiana. More information on this permanent injunction can be found by clicking the provided link.
The EPA has also announced an agreement with the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control. This agreement underscores the EPA's dedication to collaborative efforts in upholding civil rights and environmental protection.
For those interested in public engagement, pre-award review information (Form 4700-4) is available. The EPA's External Civil Rights Policy can be found as a PDF, and additional and updated information on the permanent injunction can be found on the EPA's website.
Lastly, the EPA marked the 60th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act, reaffirming its commitment to promoting equal opportunity, fairness, and non-discrimination in all its operations.
