for the determination. The DoD uses
voluntary mediation to resolve most
complaints. However, if a case is fully
investigated and results in a finding of
noncompliance, DoD 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, DoD must secure
compliance through the termination of
Federal assistance after the DoD
recipient has been given an opportunity
for an administrative hearing and/or by
referring the matter to a DOJ litigation
section to seek injunctive relief or
pursue other enforcement proceedings.
The DoD engages in voluntary
compliance efforts and provides
technical assistance to recipients at all
stages of an investigation. During these
efforts, DoD proposes reasonable
timetables for achieving compliance and
consults with and assists recipients in
exploring cost-effective ways of coming
into compliance. In determining a
recipient’s compliance with the Title VI
regulations, the DoD’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.
While all recipients must work
toward building systems that will
ensure access for LEP individuals, DoD
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, DoD 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, DoD
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,
education, economic status, 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.

Relief Act, as codified at 50 U.S.C. App.
§ 531, prohibits a landlord from evicting
a Service member (or the Service
member’s family) from a residence

originally passed by Congress applied to
dwellings with monthly rents of $2400
or less. The law requires the Department
of Defense to adjust this amount
annually to reflect inflation and to
publish the new amount in the Federal
Register. We have applied the inflation
index required by the statute. The
maximum monthly rental amount for 50
U.S.C. App. § 531 (a)(1)(A)(ii) as of

entitled Web-Based TRICARE
Assistance Program (TRIAP). The
demonstration project uses existing
health care support contracts (HCSC) to
allow web-based behavioral health and
related services including non-medical
counseling and advice services to active
duty service members (ADSM), their
families and members and their
dependents enrolled in TRICARE
Reserve Select, and those eligible for the
Transition Assistance Management
Program (TAMP) who reside in the
continental United States.
DATES: The demonstration will
terminate on March 31, 2012.
ADDRESSES: TRICARE Management
Activity (TMA), Health Plan Operations,
5111 Leesburg Pike, Suite 810, Falls
Church, VA 22041.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
questions pertaining to this
demonstration project, please contact
Mr. Richard Hart at (703) 681–0047.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
demonstration was effective August 1,
2009, as referenced in the original
Federal Register Notice, 74 FR 36676,
July 24, 2009. The demonstration was
extended to March 31, 2011, as
referenced by Federal Register Notice,
75 FR 15693, March 30, 2010 and again
extended to March 31, 2012 as
referenced by Federal Register Notice,
76 FR 12073, March 4, 2011. The
demonstration provides capability for
short-term, problem solving counseling
between eligible beneficiaries and
licensed counselors utilizing video
technology and software such as Skype
or iChat. TRIAP services are available
24/7 and ADSMs, their spouses of any
age, and other family members 18 years
of age or older who reside in the United
States are eligible to participate.
Enrollees in TRICARE Reserve Select
and the Transitional Assistance
Management Program may also use the
program. TRIAP is based on commercial
employee assistance models and
provides counseling in a virtual face-toface environment. There is no diagnosis
made, there are no limits to usage, and
no notification about those seeking
counseling are made to their primary
care managers or others, unless required
by the counselor’s licensure (e.g.,
spouse abuse). Participant
confidentiality is protected, as no
medical record entry is made.
Monthly measures of Web-based
behavioral health care access were
collected and analyzed from each
TRICARE region with the intent to
inform Department leaders whether this
type of program is a valid mechanism to
improve access. Only 5109 calls were
recorded in the two-year period from
