Sec. 18.12  Effect on other regulations, forms and instructions.

    (a) Effect on other regulations. All regulations, orders, or like 
directions issued before the effective date of this part by any officer 
of the Department of Veterans Affairs which impose requirements designed 
to prohibit any discrimination against individuals on the grounds of 
race, color or national origin under any program to which this part 
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comply with such requirements, are hereby superseded to the extent that 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assumed or imposed under any such superseded regulation, order, 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 part. 
Nothing in this part, however, shall be deemed to supersede any of the 
following (including future amendments thereof):
    (1) Executive Orders 10925 (3 CFR, 1959-1963 Comp., p. 448), 11114 
(3 CFR, 1959-1963, p. 774), and 11246 (3 CFR, 1965 Supp., p. 167) and 
regulations issued thereunder, or
    (2) Executive Order 11063 (3 CFR, 1959-1963 Comp., p. 652) and 
regulations issued thereunder, or any other orders, regulations or 
instructions, insofar as such orders, 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. Each responsible agency officials shall 
issue and promptly make available to interested persons forms and 
detailed instructions and procedures for 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 officials of the Department of Veterans Affairs 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. 18.10) including the achievement of effective coordination and 
maximum uniformity within the Department of Veterans Affairs and within 
the executive branch of the Government in the application of Title VI 
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 has been taken by the responsible official of this Agency.
