Subrecipient Instructions for Requesting Interpretation and Translation Services The Oklahoma Department of Commerce Community Development division oversees the development and administration of over a dozen federally funded programs. These programs benefit the lives of thousands of Oklahomans annually.

However, not all individuals know about these programs or how to access them. For Limited English Proficient (LEP) populations, accessing these programs and services, many of which they are eligible for presents significant challenges due to linguistic barriers. The purpose of this document is to provide procedures for requesting oral interpretation and written translation services.

This service is most commonly used for individual-level beneficiary services such as public service activities and would not be needed for infrastructure projects. Please contact the appropriate Planner located in each CDBG Application Guidance to determine whether translation or interpretation services may be required for your project before requesting service.

Requesting Interpretation and Translation Services An Environmental Review process determines whether a CDBG project meets federal, state, and local environmental standards and is required for all HUD-assisted projects. Not every project is subject to a full Environmental Review, but every project must be in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
