The regulation also improves alignment with current business practices by requiring the reporting of labor hours rather than new hires. The Benchmark Notice establishes the current numeric goals for compliance with Section 3 requirements. 3. Section 109 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, which assures that no person shall, on the grounds of race, color, natural origin, or sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity funded in whole or in part with funds made available under any program funded in whole or in part by federal funds. 4.
