or applicant for employment because such employee or applicant has inquired about,
discussed, or disclosed the compensation of the employee or applicant or another employee
or applicant. This provision shall not apply to instances in which an employee who has access
to the compensation information of other employees or applicants as a part of such
employee's essential job functions discloses the compensation of such other employees or
applicants to individuals who do not otherwise have access to such information, unless such
disclosure is in response to a formal complaint or charge, in furtherance of an investigation,
proceeding, hearing, or action, including an investigation conducted by the employer, or is
consistent with the contractor's legal duty to furnish information.
4. The contractor will send to each labor union or representative of workers with which he has

advising the said labor union or workers' representatives of the contractor's commitments

administering agency and the Secretary of Labor for purposes of investigation to ascertain
compliance with such rules, regulations, and orders.

Agreement or with any of the said rules, regulations, or orders, this Agreement may be
canceled, terminated, or suspended in whole or in part and the contractor may be declared
ineligible for further Government contracts or federally assisted construction contracts in

or purchase order unless exempted by rules, regulations, or orders of the Secretary of Labor
issued pursuant to section 204 of Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965, so that
such provisions will be binding upon each subcontractor or vendor. The contractor will take
such action with respect to any subcontract or purchase order as the administering agency
may direct as a means of enforcing such provisions, including sanctions for noncompliance.
Provided, however, that in the event a contractor becomes involved in, or is threatened with,
litigation with a subcontractor or vendor as a result of such direction by the administering
agency, the contractor may request the United States to enter into such litigation to protect
the interests of the United States.

ASSURANCES OF COMPLIANCE WITH CIVIL RIGHTS REQUIREMENTS
ASSURANCES OF COMPLIANCE WITH TITLE VI OF THE
CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964
As a condition of receipt of federal financial assistance from the Department of the Treasury, the
recipient named below (hereinafter referred to as the"Recipient")provides the assurances stated herein. The
federal financial assistance may include federal grants, loans and contracts to provide assistance to the
Recipient's beneficiaries, the use or rent of Federal land or property at below market value, Federal training, a
loan of Federal personnel, subsidies, and other arrangements with the intention of providing assistance. Federal
financial assistance does not encompass contracts of guarantee or insurance, regulated programs, licenses,
procurement contracts by the Federal government at market value, or programs that provide direct benefits.
The assurances apply to all federal financial assistance from or funds made available through the
Department of the Treasury, including any assistance that the Recipient may request in the future.
The Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987 provides that the provisions of the assurances apply to all of
the operations of the Recipient's program(s) and activity(ies), so long as any portion of the Recipient's
program(s) or activity(ies) is federally assisted in the manner prescribed above.
1. Recipient 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 financial assistance, 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.
2. Recipient acknowledges that Executive Order 13166, "Improving Access to Services for Persons with
Limited English Proficiency," seeks to improve access to federally assisted programs and activities for
individuals who, because of national origin, have Limited English proficiency (LEP). Recipient
understands that denying a person access to its programs, services, and activities because of LEP is a form
of national origin discrimination prohibited under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the
Department of the Treasury's implementing regulations. Accordingly, Recipient shall initiate reasonable
steps, or comply with the Department of the Treasury's directives,to ensure that LEP persons have
meaningful access to its programs, services, and activities. Recipient 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 Recipient's programs,
services, and activities.
3. Recipient agrees to consider the need for language services for LEP persons when Recipient develops
applicable budgets and conducts 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 taking reasonable steps
to provide meaningful access for LEP persons,please visit hLp://wwwlo.u�oy.
17
4. Recipient acknowledges and agrees that compliance with the assurances constitutes a condition of continued
receipt of federal financial assistance and is binding upon Recipient and Recipient's successors, transferees,
and assignees for the period in which such assistance is provided.
5. Recipient acknowledges and agrees that it must require any sub-grantees, contractors, subcontractors,
successors, transferees, and assignees to comply with assurances 1-4 above, and agrees to incorporate the
following language in every contract or agreement subject to Title VI and its regulations between the
Recipient and the Recipient's sub-grantees, contractors, subcontractors, successors, transferees, and
assignees:
The sub-grantee, contractor, subcontractor, successor, transferee, and assignee shall comply with Title
VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits recipients offederal 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 the
Department of the Treasury's Title VI regulations, 31 CFR Part 22, which are herein incorporated by
reference and made a part of this contract(or agreement). Title VI also includes 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 the Department of the Treasury's Title VI regulations, 31
CFR Part 22, and herein incorporated by reference and made apart of this contract or agreement.
6. Recipient 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 Recipient, 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 Recipient for the period during which it retains ownership or possession of the property.
7. Recipient 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. The Recipient
shall comply with information requests, on-site compliance reviews and reporting requirements.
8. Recipient shall maintain a complaint log and inform the Department of the Treasury of any complaints 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. Recipient
also must inform the Department of the Treasury if Recipient has received no complaints under Title VI.
9. Recipient 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
18
agreements between the Recipient and the administrative agency that made the finding. If the
Recipient settles a case or matter alleging such discrimination, the Recipient must provide
documentation of the settlement. If Recipient has not been the subject of any court or
administrative agency finding of discrimination,please so state.
10. If the Recipient makes sub-awards to other agencies or other entities,the Recipient is
responsible for ensuring that sub-recipients also comply with Title VI and other
applicable authorities covered in this document State agencies that make sub-awards
must have in place standard grant assurances and review procedures to demonstrate that
that they are effectively monitoring the civil rights compliance of sub- recipients.
The United States of America has the right to seek judicial enforcement of the terms of
this assurances document and nothing in this document alters or limits the federal enforcement
measures that the United States may take in order to address violations of this document or
applicable federal law.
Under penalty of perjury, the undersigned official(s) certifies that official(s) has read and
understood the Recipient's obligations as herein described, that any information submitted in
conjunction with this assurances document is accurate and complete, and that the Recipient is in
compliance with the aforementioned nondiscrimination requirements.
