Mr.Dennis Taylor
City of Bozeman
P.O.Box 1230
Bozeman,MT 59771-1230
Dear Mr.Taylor:
Congratulations on your recent award. In establishing financial assistance programs,Congress linked the receipt of federal funding to
compliance with federal civil rights laws. The Office for Civil Rights(OCR),Office of Justice Programs(OJP),U.S.Department of Justice
(DOJ)is responsible for ensuring that recipients of financial assistance from the OJP,the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services
(COPS),and the Office on Violence Against Women(OVW)comply with the applicable federal civil rights laws. We at the OCR are
available to help you and your organization meet the civil rights requirements that come with DOJ funding.
Ensuring Access to Federally Assisted Programs
Federal laws that apply to recipients of financial assistance from the DOJ prohibit discrimination on the basis of race,color,national origin,
religion,sex,or disability in funded programs or activities,not only in employment but also in the delivery of services or benefits. A federal
law also prohibits recipients from discriminating on the basis of age in the delivery of services or benefits.
In March of 2013,President Obama signed the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013. The statute amends the Violence
Against Women Act of 1994(VAWA)by including a nondiscrimination grant condition that prohibits discrimination based on actual or
perceived race,color,national origin,religion,sex,disability,sexual orientation,or gender identity. The new nondiscrimination grant
condition applies to certain programs ftmded after October 1,2013. The OCR and the OV W have developed answers to some frequently
asked questions about this provision to assist recipients of VAWA funds to understand their obligations. The Frequently Asked Questions
are available at http://ojp.gov/about/ocr/vawafags.htm.
Enforcing Civil Rights Laws
All recipients of federal financial assistance,regardless of the particular funding source,the amount of the grant award,or the number of
employees in the workforce,are subject to prohibitions against unlawful discrimination. Accordingly,the OCR investigates recipients that
are the subject of discrimination complaints from both individuals and groups. In addition,based on regulatory criteria,the OCR selects a
number of recipients each year for compliance reviews,audits that require recipients to submit data showing that they are providing services
equitably to all segments of their service population and that their employment practices meet equal opportunity standards.
Providing Services to Limited English Proficiency(LEP)Individuals
In accordance with DOJ guidance pertaining to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,42 U.S.C.§2000d,recipients of federal financial
assistance must take reasonable steps to provide meaningful access to their programs and activities for persons with limited English
proficiency(LEP). See U.S.Department of Justice,Guidance to Federal Financial Assistance Recipients Regarding Title VI Prohibition
Against National Origin Discrimination Affecting Limited English Proficient Persons,67 Fed.Reg.41,455(2002). For more information
on the civil rights responsibilities that recipients have in providing language services to LEP individuals,please see the website
http://www.lep.gov.
Ensuring Equal Treatment for Faith-Based Organizations
The DOJ regulation,Equal Treatment for Faith-Based Organizations,28 C.F.R.pt.38,requires State Administering Agencies(SAAs)to
treat faith-based organizations the same as any other applicant or recipient. The regulation prohibits SAAs from making awards or grant
administration decisions on the basis of an organization's religious character or affiliation,religious name,or the religious composition of its
board of directors.
The regulation also prohibits faith-based organizations from using financial assistance from the DOJ to find inherently(or explicitly)
religious activities. While faith-based organizations can engage in non-funded inherently religious activities,they must hold them
separately from the program funded by the DOJ,and recipients cannot compel beneficiaries to participate in them. The Equal Treatment
Regulation also makes clear that organizations participating in programs funded by the DOJ are not permitted to discriminate in the
provision of services on the basis of a beneficiary's religion. For more information on the regulation,please see the OCR's website at
http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/about/ocr/equal_fbo.htm.
SAAs and faith-based organizations should also note that the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act(Safe Streets Act)of 1968,as
amended,42 U.S.C.§3789d(c);the Victims of Crime Act of 1984,as amended,42 U.S.C.§ 10604(e);the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency
Prevention Act of 1974,as amended,42 U.S.C.§5672(b);and VAWA,Pub.L.No. 113-4,sec.3(b)(4), 127 Stat.54,61-62(to be codified
at 42 U.S.C.§ 13925(b)(13))contain prohibitions against discrimination on the basis of religion in employment. Despite these
nondiscrimination provisions,the DOJ has concluded that it may construe the Religious Freedom Restoration Act(RFRA)on a case-by-
case basis to permit some faith-based organizations to receive DOJ funds while taking into account religion when hiring staff,even if the
statute that authorizes the funding program generally forbids recipients from considering religion in employment decisions.
Please consult with the OCR if you have any questions about the regulation or the application of RFRA to the statutes that prohibit
discrimination in employment.
Using Arrest and Conviction Records in Making Employment Decisions
The OCR issued an advisory document for recipients on the proper use of arrest and conviction records in making hiring decisions. See
Advisory for Recipients of Financial Assistance from the U.S.Department of Justice on the U.S.Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission's Enforcement Guidance:Consideration of Arrest and Conviction Records in Employment Decisions Under Title VII of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964(June 2013),available at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov//about/ocr/pdfs[UscofConviction_Advisory.pdf. Recipients
should be mindful that the misuse of arrest or conviction records to screen either applicants for employment or employees for retention or
promotion may have a disparate impact based on race or national origin,resulting in unlawful employment discrimination. In light of the
Advisory,recipients should consult local counsel in reviewing their employment practices. If warranted,recipients should also incorporate
an analysis of the use of arrest and conviction records in their Equal Employment Opportunity Plans(EEOPs)(see below).
Complying with the Safe Streets Act
An organization that is a recipient of financial assistance subject to the nondiscrimination provisions of the Safe Streets Act,must meet two
obligations:(1)complying with the federal regulation pertaining to the development of an EEOP(see 28 C.F.R.pt.42,subpt.E)and(2)
submitting to the OCR findings of discrimination(see 28 C.F.R.§§42.204(c),.205(c)(5)).
Meeting the EEOP Requirement
If your organization has less than fifty employees or receives an award of less than$25,000 or is a nonprofit organization,a medical
institution,an educational institution,or an Indian tribe,then it is exempt from the EEOP requirement. To claim the exemption,your
organization must complete and submit Section A of the Certification Form,which is available online at
http://wxvw.ojp.usdoj.gov/about/ocr/Pdfs/cert.pdf.
If your organization is a government agency or private business and receives an award of$25,000 or more,but less than$500,000,and has
fifty or more employees(counting both fitll-and part-time employees but excluding political appointees),then it has to prepare a
Utilization Report(formerly called an EEOP Short Form),but it does not have to submit the report to the OCR for review. Instead,your
organization has to maintain the Utilization Report on file and make it available for review on request. In addition,your organization has to
complete Section B of the Certification Form and return it to the OCR. The Certification Form is available at
http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/about/ocr/pdfs/cert.pdf.
If your organization is a government agency or private business and has received an award for$500,000 or more and has fifty or more
employees(counting both full-and part-time employees but excluding political appointees),then it has to prepare a Utilization Report
(formerly called an EEOP Short Form)and submit it to the OCR for review within sixty days from the date of this letter. For assistance in
developing a Utilization Report,please consult the OCR's website at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/about/ocr/eeop.him. In addition,your
organization has to complete Section C of the Certification Form and return it to the OCR. The Certification Form is available at
http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/about/ocr/pdfs/cert.pdf.
To comply with the EEOP requirements,you may request technical assistance from an EEOP specialist at the OCR by telephone at(202)
307-0690,by TTY at(202)307-2027,or by e-mail at EEOsubmisson@usdoj.gov.
Meeting the Requirement to Submit Findings of Discrimination
If in the three years prior to the date of the grant award,your organization has received an adverse finding of discrimination based on race,
color,national origin,religion,or sex,after a due-process hearing,from a state or federal court or from a state or federal administrative
agency,your organization must send a copy of the finding to the OCR.
Ensuring the Compliance of Subrecipients
SAAs must have standard assurances to notify subrecipients of their civil rights obligations,written procedures to address discrimination
complaints filed against subrecipients,methods to monitor subrecipients'compliance with civil rights requirements,and a program to train
subrecipients on applicable civil rights laws. In addition,SAAs must submit to the OCR every three years written Methods of
Administration(MOA)that summarize the policies and procedures that they have implemented to ensure the civil rights compliance of
subrecipients. For more information on the MOA requirement,see http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/fundinglother requiretnents.htm.
If the OCR can assist you in any way in fulfilling your organization's civil rights responsibilities as a recipient of federal financial
assistance,please contact us.

Subject: Categorical Exclusion for City of Bozeman
The Adult Drug Court Discretionary Grant Program is designed to assist states,state courts,local courts,and
counties,other units of local government,or Indian tribal governments to implement comprehensive strategies for
enhancing drug court capacity by bridging access to both criminal justice and substance abuse treatment funds.
None of the following activities will be conducted whether under the Office of Justice Programs federal action or a
related third party action:
(1)New construction.
(2)Any renovation or remodeling of a property located in an environmentally or historically sensitive area,
including property(a)listed on or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places,or(b)located
within a 100-year flood plain,a wetland,or habitat for an endangered species.
(3)A renovation that will change the basic prior use of a facility or significantly change its size.
(4)Research and technology whose anticipated and future application could be expected to have an effect on the
environment.
(5)Implementation of a program involving the use of chemicals.
Additionally,the proposed action is neither a phase nor a segment of a project that when reviewed in its entirety
would not meet the criteria for a categorical exclusion. Consequently,the subject federal action meets the Office of
Justice Programs'criteria for a categorical exclusion as contained in paragraph 4(b)of Appendix D to Part 61 of
Title 28 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
