records and submit to the Department Compliance Officer complete and

subcontractor contracts with another, such other contractor shall also 
submit such compliance reports to the recipient, contractor or 
subcontractor as may be necessary to enable the recipient, contractor or 
subcontractor to determine and carry out his obligations under section 
403 of Public Law 93-153 and implementing rules, regulations, and 
orders.
    (b) Access to sources of information. Each recipient, contractor and 
subcontractor to which this part applies, shall permit access by the 
Department Compliance Officer or his designee or by the Secretary or his 
designee during normal business hours to such of his books, records, 
accounts, and other sources of information, and his facilities, as may 
be pertinent to ascertain compliance with rules, regulations, and orders 
implementing section 403 of Public Law 93-153.
    (c) Information in possession of other agency, institution, or 
person. Where any information required of a recipient, contractor or

institution, or person and such agency, institution or person shall fail 
or refuse to furnish this information, the recipient, contractor or 
subcontractor shall so certify in a report and shall set forth what 
efforts it has made to obtain the information.
    (d) Failure to submit reports. Failure to file timely, complete and 
accurate reports as required constitutes noncompliance with the equal 
opportunity clause and is ground for the imposition by the agency, 
recipient, contractor, or subcontractor of any sanctions as authorized 
by section 403 of Public Law 93-153 and implementating rules, 
regulations, and orders.
    (e) Information to beneficiaries and participants. Each recipient,

services, information regarding the provisions of this part and the 
details of the recipient's, contractor's or subcontractor's compliance 
with this part, to the extent that it will enhance their participation 
in nondiscrimination programs of recipient, contractor, or 
subcontractor, and aid the recipient, contractor, or subcontractor in 
meeting its obligations under this part.
