West Virginia; Amendment No. 1 to Notice of a Major Disaster Declaration, 34475-34476 [2010-14554]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 116 / Thursday, June 17, 2010 / Notices • Whether staff knows and understands the LEP plan and how to implement it. • Whether identified sources for assistance are still available and viable. In addition to these five elements, effective plans set clear goals, management accountability, and opportunities for community input and planning throughout the process. mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES VIII. Voluntary Compliance Effort The goal for Title VI and Title VI regulatory enforcement is to achieve voluntary compliance. The requirement to provide meaningful access to LEP persons is enforced and implemented by DHS through the procedures identified in the Title VI regulations. These procedures include complaint investigations, compliance reviews, efforts to secure voluntary compliance, and technical assistance. The Title VI regulations provide that DHS will investigate when it receives a complaint, report, or other information that alleges or indicates possible noncompliance with Title VI or its regulations. If the investigation results in a finding of compliance, DHS will inform the recipient in writing of this determination, including the basis for the determination. DHS uses voluntary mediation to resolve most complaints. However, if a complaint is fully investigated and results in a finding of noncompliance, DHS must inform the recipient of the noncompliance through a Letter of Findings that sets out the areas of noncompliance and the steps that must be taken to correct the noncompliance. It must attempt to secure voluntary compliance through informal means. If the matter cannot be resolved informally, DHS must secure compliance through the termination of Federal assistance after the DHS recipients have been given an opportunity for an administrative hearing and/or by referring the matter to the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division to seek injunctive relief or other enforcement proceedings. DHS engages in voluntary compliance efforts and provides technical assistance to recipients at all stages of an investigation. During these efforts, DHS proposes reasonable timetables for achieving compliance and consults with and assists recipients in exploring costeffective ways of coming into compliance. In determining a recipient’s compliance with the Title VI regulations, DHS’s primary concern is to ensure that the recipient’s policies and procedures provide meaningful access for LEP persons to the recipient’s programs and activities. VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:13 Jun 16, 2010 Jkt 220001 While all recipients must work toward building systems that will ensure access for LEP individuals, DHS acknowledges that the implementation of a comprehensive system to serve LEP individuals is a process and that a system will evolve over time as it is implemented and periodically reevaluated. As recipients take reasonable steps to provide meaningful access to Federally assisted programs and activities for LEP persons, DHS will look favorably on intermediate steps recipients take that are consistent with this Guidance, and that, as part of a broader implementation plan or schedule, move their service delivery system toward providing full access to LEP persons. This does not excuse noncompliance but instead recognizes that full compliance in all areas of a recipient’s activities and for all potential language minority groups may reasonably require a series of implementing actions over a period of time. However, in developing any phased implementation schedule, DHS recipients should ensure that the provision of appropriate assistance for significant LEP populations or with respect to activities having a significant impact on the health, safety, legal rights, or livelihood of beneficiaries is addressed first. Recipients are encouraged to document their efforts to provide LEP persons with meaningful access to Federally assisted programs and activities. IX. Application to Specific Types of Recipients This Guidance is issued for recipients that receive Federal funds from the Department of Homeland Security. There may be cases in which entities receive Federal funds from other Federal agencies as well as from DHS. Entities that receive funding from other Federal agencies may also look to the LEP guidance issued by those agencies, which are consistent with the DHS Guidance. Other Federal agencies that have issued similar guidance with regard to limited English proficient persons include the Departments of Commerce, Education, Health and Human Services, Energy, Housing and Urban Development, Labor, Interior, State Transportation, Treasury, and Veterans Affairs, and the Environmental Protection Agency. An up-to-date listing of Federal agencies that have published LEP Guidance can be found at https:// www.lep.gov/. The Department of Justice LEP Recipient Guidance in particular provides many helpful examples of how to apply the four-factor analysis when making decisions about the need for translating documents, PO 00000 Frm 00058 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 34475 obtaining interpreter, and hiring bilingual staff. See 65 FR 50123 Part IX (August 16, 2000). These examples are incorporated by reference herein. As explained in this Guidance, all recipients of Federal financial assistance from DHS must meet the obligation to take reasonable steps to ensure access to programs and activities by LEP persons. This Guidance clarifies the Title VI regulatory obligation to address the language needs of LEP persons, in appropriate circumstances and in a reasonable manner by applying the fourfactor analysis. In the context of emergency planning and response, health and safety, immigration and other detention, and law enforcement operations, where the potential for greater consequences are at issue, DHS will look for strong evidence that recipients have taken reasonable steps to ensure access to services to LEP persons. The lessons learned from natural disasters, for example, underscore the need to provide meaningful access to LEP persons who are otherwise eligible in all aspects of Federally assisted programs that serve the public.
