Statement of Non-discrimination

In accor­dance with Fed­er­al civ­il rights law and U.S. Depart­ment of Agri­cul­ture (USDA) civ­il rights reg­u­la­tions and poli­cies, the USDA, its agen­cies, offices and employ­ees, and insti­tu­tions par­tic­i­pat­ing in or admin­is­ter­ing USDA pro­grams are pro­hib­it­ed from dis­crim­i­nat­ing on the basis of race, col­or, nation­al ori­gin, age, or dis­abil­i­ty. Reme­dies and com­plaint fil­ing dead­lines vary by pro­gram or inci­dent.

Per­sons with dis­abil­i­ties who require alter­na­tive means of com­mu­ni­ca­tion for pro­gram infor­ma­tion (e.g. Braille, large print, audio­tape, Amer­i­can Sign Lan­guage, etc.) should con­tact the respon­si­ble Agency or USDA’s TARGET Cen­ter at (202) 720‑2600 (voice and TTY) or con­tact USDA through the Fed­er­al Relay Ser­vice at (800) 877‑8339. Addi­tion­al­ly, pro­gram infor­ma­tion may be made avail­able in lan­guages oth­er than Eng­lish.

To file a pro­gram dis­crim­i­na­tion com­plaint, com­plete the USDA Pro­gram Dis­crim­i­na­tion Com­plaint Form, AD-3027, found online at www.ascr.usda.gov, and at any USDA office, or write a let­ter addressed to USDA and pro­vide in the let­ter all of the infor­ma­tion request­ed in the form. To request a copy of the com­plaint form, call (866) 632‑9992. Sub­mit your com­plet­ed com­plaint form or let­ter to USDA by:
