Because you have submitted Certified <br />Assurance that your agency is in compliance with applicable civil rights laws, this <br />office has determined that you have met this requirement in the Department of Justice <br />regulations governing recipients of Federal financial assistance (see 28 C.F.R. sec. <br />42.204, Applicants' obligations). As Director of the Office for Civil Rights (OCR), <br />Office of Justice Programs, I would like to offer you my assistance in completing the <br />conditions ofthese Assurances, specifically Nos. 13, 14, and 15, as the grant goes <br />forward. <br /> <br />As you know, equal opportunity for the participation of women and minority <br />individuals in employment and services provided under programs and activities <br />receiving Federal financial assistance is required by law. Therefore, if there has been a <br />federal or state court or administrative agency finding of discrimination against your <br />agency, please forward a copy of such order or consent decree, as required by <br />Assurance No. 14, to OCR at the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice <br />Programs, Office for Civil Rights, 810 7th Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20531. <br /> <br />(1) If you have already submitted an EEOP as part of another award from the Office of <br />Justice Programs (OJP) during this grant period, or if you have certified that no EEOP <br />is required, it is not necessary for you to submit another at this time. Simply send a <br />copy of the letter you received from OCR showing that your EEOP or certification is <br />acceptable. <br />
