(ii) Contractor acknowledges that Executive Order 13166, "Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency (LEP)," seeks to improve access to federally assisted programs and activities for individuals who, because of national origin, are limited in their English proficiency. Contractor understands that the denial of access to persons to its programs, services and activities because of their limited proficiency in English is a form of national origin discrimination prohibited under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Accordingly, Contractor shall initiate reasonable steps, or comply with Treasury's directives, to ensure meaningful access to its programs, services and activities to LEP persons. Contractor understands and agrees that meaningful access may entail providing language assistance services, including oral interpretation and written translation where necessary to ensure effective communication in the Project. (iii) Contractor agrees to consider the need for language services for LEP persons during development of applicable budgets and when conducting programs, services and activities.
