TITLE 42 - THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE

CHAPTER 76 - AGE DISCRIMINATION IN FEDERALLY ASSISTED PROGRAMS

-HEAD-

Sec. 6104. Enforcement

-STATUTE-

(a) Methods of achieving compliance with regulations

The head of any Federal department or agency who prescribes

regulations under section 6103 of this title may seek to achieve

compliance with any such regulation -

(1) by terminating, or refusing to grant or to continue,

assistance under the program or activity involved to any

recipient with respect to whom there has been an express finding

on the record, after reasonable notice and opportunity for

hearing, of a failure to comply with any such regulation; or

(2) by any other means authorized by law.

(b) Limitations on termination of, or on refusal to grant or to

continue, assistance; disbursement of withheld funds to achiever

agencies

Any termination of, or refusal to grant or to continue,

assistance under subsection (a)(1) of this section shall be limited

to the particular political entity or other recipient with respect

to which a finding has been made under subsection (a)(1) of this

section. Any such termination or refusal shall be limited in its

effect to the particular program or activity, or part of such

program or activity, with respect to which such finding has been

made. No such termination or refusal shall be based in whole or in

part on any finding with respect to any program or activity which

does not receive Federal financial assistance. Whenever the head of

any Federal department or agency who prescribes regulations under

section 6103 of this title withholds funds pursuant to subsection

(a) of this section, he may, in accordance with regulations he

shall prescribe, disburse the funds so withheld directly to any

public or nonprofit private organization or agency, or State or

political subdivision thereof, which demonstrates the ability to

achieve the goals of the Federal statute authorizing the program or

activity while complying with regulations issued under section 6103

of this title.

(c) Advice as to failure to comply with regulation; determination

that compliance cannot be secured by voluntary means

No action may be taken under subsection (a) of this section until

the head of the Federal department or agency involved has advised

the appropriate person of the failure to comply with the regulation

involved and has determined that compliance cannot be secured by

voluntary means.

(d) Report to Congressional committees

In the case of any action taken under subsection (a) of this

section, the head of the Federal department or agency involved

shall transmit a written report of the circumstances and grounds of

such action to the committees of the House of Representatives and

the Senate having legislative jurisdiction over the program or

activity involved. No such action shall take effect until thirty

days after the transmission of any such report.

(e) Injunctions; notice of violations; costs; conditions for

actions

(1) When any interested person brings an action in any United

States district court for the district in which the defendant is

found or transacts business to enjoin a violation of this Act by

any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance,

such interested person shall give notice by registered mail not

less than 30 days prior to the commencement of that action to the

Secretary of Health and Human Services, the Attorney General of the

United States, and the person against whom the action is directed.

Such interested person may elect, by a demand for such relief in

his complaint, to recover reasonable attorney's fees, in which case

the court shall award the costs of suit, including a reasonable

attorney's fee, to the prevailing plaintiff.

(2) The notice referred to in paragraph (1) shall state the

nature of the alleged violation, the relief to be requested, the

court in which the action will be brought, and whether or not

attorney's fees are being demanded in the event that the plaintiff

prevails. No action described in paragraph (1) shall be brought (A)

if at the time the action is brought the same alleged violation by

the same defendant is the subject of a pending action in any court

of the United States; or (B) if administrative remedies have not

been exhausted.

(f) Exhaustion of administrative remedies

With respect to actions brought for relief based on an alleged

violation of the provisions of this chapter, administrative

remedies shall be deemed exhausted upon the expiration of 180 days

from the filing of an administrative complaint during which time

the Federal department or agency makes no finding with regard to

the complaint, or upon the day that the Federal department or

agency issues a finding in favor of the recipient of financial

assistance, whichever occurs first.

As part of the study required by this section, the Commission
