SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Purpose

GSA has mission responsibilities related to monitoring and enforcing compliance with Federal civil rights laws and regulations that apply to Federal financial assistance programs administered by GSA. Specifically, those laws provide that no person on the ground of race, color, national origin, disability, sex, or age shall be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination under any program in connection with which Federal financial assistance is extended under laws administered in whole, or in part, by GSA.

These mission responsibilities generate the requirement to request and obtain certain data from recipients of Federal surplus real property conveyances under the Federal Public Benefit Conveyance Program for the purpose of determining compliance, such as the number of individuals that speak non-English languages encountered by the recipient's program(s) and how the recipient is addressing meaningful access for individuals that are Limited English Proficient; whether the recipients provide disability access in compliance with applicable laws and standards; whether there has been complaints or lawsuits filed against the recipient based on prohibited discrimination; whether there has been any findings of discrimination; and whether the recipient's facilities are accessible to qualified individuals with disabilities.
