# §110.13. Exceptions to the rules against age discrimination: Reasonable factors other than age.


A recipient is permitted to take an action otherwise prohibited by [§ 110.10](/cfr/34/110.10.md) that is based on a factor other than age, even though that action may have a disproportionate effect on persons of different ages. An action may be based on a factor other than age only if the factor bears a direct and substantial relationship to the normal operation of the program or activity or to the achievement of a statutory objective.
