the basis of race, color, religion, age, sex, or national origin, and provides for reasonable representation on its board of directors or other governing board for certain amateur sports organizations which conduct national programs and ensures that the representation shall reflect the nature, scope, quality and strength of the organization's programs and competitions. On the date of enactment of this title, all existing national governing bodies are given a 2-year period in which to meet the requirements of this subsection.

Title II further states that a national governing body is under duty to develop interest in participation in its sport, minimize conflicts in the scheduling of all practices and competitions, grant to any amateur sports organization or person a sanction either to hold an international amateur athletic competition in the United States or to sponsor United States athletes to compete in international amateur athletic competition held outside the United States, unless it demonstrates by clear and convincing evidence that holding the competition would be detrimental to the best interests of the sport. A national governing body must allow an amateur athlete to compete in any international athletic competition conducted under its auspices, and provide equitable support and encouragement for participation by women and handicapped individuals in its sport.

For the sport which it governs, a national governing body is authorized to represent the United States in the appropriate international sports federation, establish national goals, serve as the coordinating body for amateur athletic activity in the United States, sanction both international amateur athletic competition held in the United States and sponsor international amateur athletic competition held outside the United States, recommend to the Corporation individuals and teams to represent the United States in the Olympic and Pan-American Games, and conduct amateur athletic competition, including national championships and international amateur athletic competition in the United States, with the exception that those amateur sports organizations that conduct "closed" competitions (such as high schools, colleges, the Armed Forces, or similar groups or categories) shall have jurisdiction over such competitions.

The Corporation may review all matters relating to the continued recognition of a national governing body and may take such action as it considers appropriate, including placing conditions upon the continued recognition of the national governing body.

Title II further provides a mechanism by which (1) an individual or other amateur sports organization may seek to compel the national governing body to comply with the duties and authorities as set forth in Title II, or (2) any amateur sports organization may seek to replace an incumbent as the national governing body. With regard to compliance by an incumbent, the Corporation shall establish procedures for the filing and disposition of complaints and shall hold a hearing on the matter if it determines that the organization or individual has exhausted all reasonable remedies within the national governing body. If the Corporation determines that such national governing body is not in compliance, it shall place such national governing body on probation for a specified period of time or revoke the recognition of such national governing body. With regard to replacing an incumbent, the Corporation shall again establish procedures for

the filing and disposition of applications and shall conduct a formal hearing to determine the merits of the application. As a result of the formal hearing, the Corporation may (1) uphold the right of a national governing body to continue, (2) revoke the recognition of a national governing body and declare a vacancy, (3) revoke the recognition of the national governing body and recognize the applicant as the national governing body, or (4) decide to place the national governing body on probation.

The right to review by any party aggrieved by a determination of the Corporation shall be to any regional office of the American Arbitration Association and such arbitration shall proceed according to the commercial rules of the Association in effect at the time of the filing of the review. Final decisions of the arbitrators shall be binding upon the involved parties, if such decision is not inconsistent with the constitution and by-laws of the Corporation.

Section 211. Financial Assistance

The Secretary of Commerce is authorized to award grants to the Corporation to assist in the development of amateur athletics in the United States in furtherance of the goals and purposes of this legislation. There is authorized to be appropriated $30 million as follows: (1) $18 million to finance the development and operation of programs approved by the Corporation and consistent with the provisions of this Act; and (2) $12 million to finance feasibility studies to assist in determining appropriate locations for training centers and to finance the administration and operation of such centers, and dissemination of sports information.

Within six months after enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall conduct a study to determine the need for and the most appropriate means of providing continuing funding for the Corporation's construction and operation of training centers and sports research facilities. Finally, not more than 20 percent of the funds available under this section may be provided to organizations which are not members of the Corporation.
