Sec. 90.42  What responsibilities do recipients and agencies have generally to ensure compliance with the Act?

    (a) A recipient has primary responsibility to ensure that its 
programs and activities are in compliance with the Age Discrimination 
Act and shall take steps to eliminate violations of the Act. A recipient 
also has responsibility to maintain records, provide information, and to 
afford access to its records to an agency to the extent required to 
determine whether it is in compliance with the Act.
    (b) An agency has responsibility to attempt to secure recipient 
compliance with the Act by voluntary means. This may include the use of 
the services of appropriate Federal, State, local, or private 
organizations. An agency also has the responsibility to enforce the Age 
Discrimination Act when a recipient fails to eliminate violations of the 
Act.
