program to which this regulation 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 under such program 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requirements are hereby superseded to the extent that such 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 obligation assumed or 
imposed under any such superseded regulation, order, instruction, or 
like direction prior to the effective date of this regulation. Nothing 
in this regulation, however, shall be deemed to supersede any of the 
following (including future amendments thereof): (1) Executive Orders 
10925, 11114 and 11246, as amended and regulations issued thereunder, 
(2) Executive Order 11063 and regulations issued thereunder, or any 
other regulations or instructions insofar as such order, regulations, or 
instructions prohibit discrimination on the grounds of race, color, or 
national origin in any program or situation to which this part is 
inapplicable, or prohibit discrimination on any other ground.
    (b) Forms and instructions. The Secretary or his designee shall

effectuating this part as applied to programs to which this part applies 
and for which he is responsible.
    (c) Supervision and coordination. The Secretary may from time to 
time assign to such officials of the Department as he deems appropriate, 
or to officials of other departments or agencies of the Government with 
the consent of such departments or agencies, 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. 17.9), 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 of the act and this 
part to similar programs and in similar situations. 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 paragraph shall have the same effect as though such action 
had been taken by the Secretary of the Interior.
