Sec. 7.16  Effect on other regulations; forms and instructions.

    (a) Effect on other regulations. All regulations, orders, or like 
directions heretofore issued by any officer of the Federal Emergency 
Management Agency which impose requirements designed to prohibit any 
discrimination against individuals on the ground of race, color, or 
national origin under any 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 for failure to comply with such 
requirements, are hereby superseded to the extent that such 
discrimination is prohibited by this regulation, except that nothing in 
this regulation 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assumed or imposed under any such superseded regulation, order, 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 Executive Orders 10925 and 11114 (including future amendments 
thereof) and regulations issued thereunder, or any other regulations or 
instructions, insofar as such regulations or instructions prohibit 
discrimination on the ground of race, color, or national origin in any 
program or situation to which this regulation is inapplicable, or 
prohibit discrimination on any other ground.
    (b) Forms and instructions. Each responsible agency official shall 
issue and promptly make available to interested persons forms and 
detailed instructions and procedures for effectuating this regulation as 
applied to programs to which this regulation applies and for which he is 
responsible.

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 regulation 
(other than responsibility for final decision as provided in section 
14), including the achievement of effective coordination and maximum 
uniformity within the agency and within the Executive Branch of the 
Government in the application of title VI and this regulation to similar 
programs and in similar situations.
