Russian as a LCTL

Dear SEELANGers,

Can anyone direct me to the US Dept of Education (or legislative) language
that defines the Less-Commonly-Taught Languages (LCTLs) supported under
Title VI?

I’m wondering specifically if Russian is, officially, a LCTL.  It’s listed
on the main page of the National Council of LCTLs (www.councilnets.org), of
which ACTR is a member organization.  But at some universities there are
restrictions, for example, on FLAS support for the study of Russian.  I’ve
been unable to find any clear language on the US/ED website.

Many thanks for any help!
