Rural Development Self-Evaluation and Transition Plans
Did you know that USDA Rural Development requires brand new Self-Evaluation and Transition Plans every three years?
USDA issued a memo to remind recipients, grantees and borrowers in the Rural Utility Service (RUS) Telecommunications and Electric Programs of the requirements of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504) in regard to Self-evaluations (SE) and Transition plans (TP).
All RUS recipients, grantees and borrowers are required to conduct self-evaluations of their facilities, policies, procedures, and practices for compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. In the event that the self-evaluation identifies that structural changes are necessary, recipients are required to develop transition plans that set forth the steps necessary to remove the barriers, according to USDA.
RUS recipients, grantees and borrowers must operate each assisted program or activity so that it is readily accessible to and usable by people with disabilities. A recipient/grantee must develop a transition plan for the removal of any structural barriers to accessibility with the assistance of people or organizations who are knowledgeable about accessibility issues, according to USDA.
