of Contents

 

Sec.  31.12  Effect on other regulations; supervision and coordination.



    (a) Effect on other regulations. All regulations, orders or like 

directions heretofore issued by any officer of the Department which 

impose requirements designed to prohibit any discrimination against 

individuals on the ground of race, color, or national origin under any 

program to which this part applies, and which authorize the suspension 

or termination of or refusal to grant or to continue Federal financial 

assistance to any applicant for or recipient of such assistance for 

failure to comply with such requirements, are hereby superseded to the 

extent that such discrimination is prohibited by this part, except that 

nothing in this part shall be deemed to relieve any person of any 

obligations assumed or imposed under any such superseded regulation, 

order, instruction, or like direction prior to the effective date of 

this part. Nothing in this part, however, shall be deemed to supersede 

any of the following (including future amendments thereof):

    (1) Executive Orders 10925, 11114 and 11246 and regulations issued 

thereunder,

    (2) The ``Standards for a Merit System of Personnel 

Administration,'' issued jointly by the Secretaries of Defense, of 

Health, Education and Welfare, and of Labor, 23 FR 734, or

    (3) Any other regulation or instruction insofar as it prohibits 

discrimination on the ground of race, color, or national origin in any 

program or situation to which this part is inapplicable, or prohibits 

discrimination on any other ground.

    (b) Supervision and coordination. (1) The Secretary may from time to 

time assign to officials of other departments or agencies of the 

government (with the consent of such department or agency) 

responsibilities in connection with the effectuation of the purposes of 

title VI of the Act and this part (other than responsibility for final 

decision as provided in Sec.  31.11), including the achievement of 

effective coordination and maximum uniformity within the Department and 

within the executive branch of the Government in the application of 

title VI and this part to similar programs and in similar situations.

    (2) Any action taken, determination made, or requirement imposed by 

an official of another Department or agency acting pursuant to an 

assignment of responsibility under this subsection shall have the same 

effect as though such action had been taken by the Secretary.
