Sec. 900.412  Effect on other regulations, forms, and instructions.

    (a) Effect on other regulations. Regulations, orders, or like 
directions issued before the effective date of this subpart by OPM which 
impose requirements designed to prohibit discrimination against 
individuals on the ground of race, color, or national origin under a

suspension or termination of or refusal to grant or to continue Federal 
financial assistance to an applicant for or recipient of assistance 
under a program for failure to

comply with the requirements, are superseded to the extent that 
discrimination is prohibited by this subpart, except that nothing in 
this subpart relieves a person of an obligation assumed or imposed under 
a superseded regulation, order, instruction, or like direction, before 
the effective date of this subpart. This subpart does not supersede any 
of the following (including future amendments thereof): (1) Executive 
Order 11246 (3 CFR, 1965 Supp.) and regulations issued thereunder or (2) 
any other orders, regulations, or instructions, insofar as these orders, 
regulations, or instructions prohibit discrimination on the ground of 
race, color, or national origin in a program or situation to which this 
subpart is inapplicable, or prohibit discrimination on any other ground.
    (b) Forms and instructions. OPM shall issue and promptly make 
available to all interested persons forms and detailed instructions and 
procedures for effectuating this subpart as applied to programs to which 
this subpart applies, and for which it is responsible.
    (c) Supervision and coordination. The Director, Office of Personnel 
Management may from time to time assign to officials of OPM, or to 
officials of other departments or agencies of the Government with the 
consent of the departments or agencies, responsibilities in connection 
with the effectuation of the purposes of title VI and this subpart 
(other than responsibilities for final decision as provided in 
Sec. 900.410), including the achievement of effective coordination and 
maximum uniformity within OPM and within the executive branch in the 
application of title VI and this subpart to similar programs and in 
similar situations. An action taken, determination made, or requirement 
imposed by an official of another department or agency acting pursuant 
to an assignment of responsibility under this paragraph shall have the 
same effect as though the action had been taken by OPM.
