Federal agencies and recipients shall also include information on title VI requirements, complaint procedures and the rights of beneficiaries in handbooks, manuals, pamphlets and other material which are ordinarily distributed to the public to describe the federally assisted programs and the requirements for participation by recipients and beneficiaries.

This requirement applies with regard to written material of the type which is ordinarily distributed to the public.(2) Federal agencies shall also take reasonable steps to provide, in languages other than English, information regarding programs subject to title VI.
