The Honorable Jerry Taylor
City of Boynton Beach
100 E. Boynton Beach Boulevard
Boynton Beach, FL 33425 -0310
Dear Mayor Taylor.
Congratulations on your recent award. In establishing financial assistance programs, Congress linked the receipt of Federal funding
compliance with Federal civil rights laws. The Office for Civil Rights (OCR), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), U.S. Department of
is responsible for ensuring that recipients of financial aid from OJP, its component offices and bureaus, the Office on Violence Agai
Women (OVW), and the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) comply with applicable Federal civil rights status
regulations. We at OCR are available to help you and your organization meet the civil rights requirements that come with Justice
Department funding.
Ensuring Access to Federally Assisted Programs
As you know, Federal laws prohibit recipients of financial assistance from discriminating on the basis of race, color, national origin,
religion, sex, or disability in funded programs or activities, not only in respect to employment practices but also in the delivery of se
benefits. Federal law also prohibits funded programs or activities from discriminating on the basis of age in the delivery of services ,
benefits.
Providing Services to Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Individuals
In accordance with Department of Justice Guidance pertaining to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000d, recipi
Federal financial assistance must take reasonable steps to provide meaningful access to their programs and activities for persons wit
English proficiency (LEP). For more information on the civil rights responsibilities that recipients have in providing language servic
LEP individuals, please see the website at http: / /www.lep.gov.
Ensuring Equal Treatment for Faith -Based Organizations
The Department of Justice has published a regulation specifically pertaining to the funding of faith-based organizations. In general,y
regulation, Participation in Justice Department Programs by Religious Organizations; Providing for Equal Treatment of all Justice
Department Program Participants, and known as the Equal Treatment Regulation 28 C.F.R. part 38, requires State Administering At
to treat these organizations the same as any other applicant or recipient. The regulation prohibits State Administering Agencies from
award or grant administration decisions on the basis of an organization's religious character or affiliation, religious name, or the relit
composition of its board of directors.
The regulation also prohibits faith-based organizations from using fmancial assistance from the Department of Justice to fund inhere
religious activities. While faith-based organizations can engage in non - funded inherently religious activities, they must be held sepal
from the Department of Justice funded program, and customers or beneficiaries cannot be compelled to participate in them. The Equ
Treatment Regulation also makes clear that organizations participating in programs funded by the Department of Justice are not pen
discriminate in the provision of services on the basis of a beneficiary's religion. For more information on the regulation, please see C
website at http:// www .ojp.usdoj.gov /ocr /etfbo.htm.
State Administering Agencies and faith-based organizations should also note that the Safe Streets Act, as amended; the Victims of C
Act, as amended; and the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act, as amended, contain prohibitions against discrimination
basis of religion in employment. Despite these nondiscrimination provisions, the Justice Department has concluded that the Religioi.
Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) is reasonably construed, on a case-by -case basis, to require that its funding agencies permit faith -1
organizations applying for funding under the applicable program statutes both to receive DOJ funds and to continue considering reli
when hiring staff, even if the statute that authorizes the funding program generally forbids considering of religion in employment de
Enforcing Civil Rights Laws
All recipients of Federal financial assistance, regardless of the particular funding source, the amount of the grant award, or the numl:
employees in the workforce, are subject to the prohibitions against unlawful discrimination. Accordingly, OCR investigates recipien
are the subject of discrimination complaints from both individuals and groups. In addition, based on regulatory criteria, OCR selects
number of recipients each year for compliance reviews, audits that require recipients to submit data showing that they are providing
equitably to all segments of their service population and that their employment practices meet equal employment opportunity standa
Complying with the Safe Streets Act or Program Requirements
In addition to these general prohibitions, an organization which is a recipient of financial assistance subject to the nondiscrimination
provisions of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act (Safe Streets Act) of 1968, 42 U.S.C. § 3789d(c), or other Federal gr
program requirements, must meet two additional requirements:(1) complying with Federal regulations pertaining to the developmen
Equal Employment Opportunity Plan (EEOP), 28 C.F.R § 42.301 -.308, and (2) submitting to OCR Findings of Discrimination (see
C.F.R. §§ 42.205(5) or 31.202(5)).
1) Meeting the ESOP Requirement
In accordance with Federal regulations, Assurance No. 6 in the Standard Assurances, COPS Assurance No. 8.B, or certain Federal g
program requirements, your organization must comply with the following EEOP reporting requirements:
If your organization has received an award for $500,000 or more and has 50 or more employees (counting both full- and part -time
employees but excluding political appointees), then it has to prepare an EEOP and submit it to OCR for review within 60 days from
date of this Letter. For assistance in developing an EEOP, please consult OCR's website at http:// www.ojp.usdoj.gov /ocr /ceop.htm.
may also request technical assistance from an EEOP specialist at OCR by dialing (202) 616 -3208.
If your organization received an award between $25,000 and $500,000 and has 50 or more employees, your organization still has to
an EEOP, but it does not have to submit the ESOP to OCR for review. Instead, your organization has to maintain the EEOP on file
make it available for review on request. In addition, your organization has to complete Section B of the Certification Fonn and retur
OCR. The Certification Form can be found at http: /twww .ojp.usdoj.gov /ocr /eeop.htm.
If your organization received an award for less than $25,000; or if your organization has less than 50 employees, regardless of the ar
the award; or if your organization is a medical institution, educational institution, nonprofit organization or Indian tribe, then your
organization is exempt from the EEOP requirement. However, your organization must complete Section A of the Certification Form
return it to OCR. The Certification Form can be found at http: // www.ojp.usdoj.gov /ocr /eeop.htm.
2) Submitting Findings of Discrimination
In the event a Federal or State court or Federal or State administrative agency makes an adverse finding of discrimination against yo
organization after a due process hearing, on the ground of race, color, religion, national origin, or sex, your organization must submi
of the finding to OCR for review.
Ensuring the Compliance of Subrecipients
If your organization makes subawards to other agencies, you are responsible for assuring that subrecipients also comply with all of t
applicable Federal civil rights laws, including the requirements pertaining to developing and submitting an EEOP, reporting Finding
Discrimination, and providing language services to LEP persons. State agencies that make subawards must have in place standard gi
assurances and review procedures to demonstrate that they are effectively monitoring the civil rights compliance of subrecipients.
If we can assist you in any way in fulfilling your civil rights responsibilities as a recipient of Federal funding, please call OCR at (2(
0690 or visit our website at http: // www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ocr/.

The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program (JAG) allows states and local governments to
support a broad range of activities to prevent and control crime and to improve the criminal justice system, some of
which could have environmental impacts. All recipients of JAG funding must assist BJA in complying with NEP,
and other related federal environmental impact analyses requirements in the use of grant funds, whether the funds
are used directly by the grantee or by a subgrantee or third party. Accordingly, prior to obligating funds for any of
the specified activities, the grantee must first determine if any of the specified activities will be funded by the
grant.
The specified activities requiring environmental analysis are:
a. New construction;
b. Any renovation or remodeling of a property located in an environmentally or historically sensitive area,
including properties located within a 100 -year flood plain, a wetland, or habitat for endangered species, or a
