Sec. 1203.6  Compliance information.

    (a) Cooperation and assistance. ACTION, to the fullest extent 
practicable, shall seek the cooperation of recipients in obtaining 
compliance with this part and shall provide assistance and guidance to 
recipients to help them comply voluntarily with this part.
    (b) Compliance reports. Each recipient shall keep records and submit 
to ACTION timely, complete, and accurate compliance reports at the 
times, and in the form and containing the information ACTION may 
determine necessary to enable it to ascertain whether the recipient has 
complied or is complying with this part. In the case of a program under 
which a primary recipient extends Federal financial assistance to other 
recipients, the other recipients shall also submit compliance reports to 
the primary recipient as may be necessary to enable the primary 
recipient to carry out its obligations under this part. In general, 
recipients should have available for ACTION racial and ethnic data 
showing the extent to which members of minority groups are beneficiaries 
of federally assisted programs.
    (c) Access to sources of information. Each recipient shall permit 
access by ACTION during normal business hours to its books, records, 
accounts, and other sources of information, and its facilities as may be 
pertinent to ascertain compliance with this part. When information 
required of a recipient is in the exclusive possession of an other 
agency, institution, or person and this agency, institution, or person 
fails or refuses to furnish this information, the recipient shall so 
certify in its report and shall set forth what efforts it has made to 
obtain the information.
    (d) Information to beneficiaries and participants. Each recipient 
shall make available to participants, beneficiaries, and other 
interested persons the information regarding the provisions of this

part and its applicability to the program under which the recipient 
received Federal financial assistance, and make this information 
available to them in the manner, as ACTION finds necessary, to apprise 
the persons of the protections against discrimination assured them by 
title VI and this part.
