  • Title: Nondiscrimination on the basis of handicap--Office of the Secretary, HHS. Interim final rule.
    Journal: Fed Regist; 1983 Mar 07; 48(45):9630-2. PubMed ID: 10317299.
    Abstract:
    The interim final rule modifies existing regulations to meet the exigent needs that can arise when a handicapped infant is discriminatorily denied food or other medical care. Three current regulatory provisions are modified to allow timely reporting of violations, expeditious investigation, and immediate enforcement action when necessary to protect a handicapped infant whose life is endangered by discrimination in a program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. Recipients that provide health care to infants will be required to post a conspicuous notice in locations that provide such care. The notice will describe the protections under federal law against discrimination toward the handicapped, and will provide a contact point in the Department of HHS for reporting violations immediately by telephone.
