Consultations

In carrying out this Act, agencies shall ensure that stakeholders, including LEP persons and their representative organizations, recipients, and other appropriate individuals or entities, have an opportunity to provide input for a period of not less than 60 days. Agencies shall evaluate the particular needs of the LEP persons they and their recipients serve and the burdens of compliance on the agency and its recipients. This input from stakeholders shall assist the agencies in developing an approach to ensuring meaningful access by LEP persons that is practical and effective, fiscally responsible, responsive to the particular circumstances of each agency, and can be readily implemented.
