    (a) Effect on other regulations. All regulations, orders, or like 
directions heretofore issued by any officer of the Department 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 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failure to comply with such requirements, are hereby superseded to the 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such superseded regulation, order, instruction, or like direction prior 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 any of the following (including 
future amendments thereof): (1) The ``Standards for a Merit System of 
Personnel Administration,'' issued jointly by the Secretaries of 
Defense, of Health and Human Services, and of Labor, 45 CFR Part 70; (2) 
Executive Order 11063 and regulations issued thereunder, or any other 
regulations or instructions, insofar as such Order, 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; or (3) 
requirements for Emergency School Assistance as published in 35 FR 13442 
and codified as 45 CFR Part 181.
    (b) Forms and instructions. The responsible Department official 
shall issue and promptly make available to interested persons forms and 
detailed instructions and procedures for effectuating this part.
    (c) Supervision and coordination. The responsible Department 
official may from time to time assign to officials of the Department, 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 
regulation (other than responsibility for review as provided in Sec. 
80.10(e)), including the achievements of effective coordination and 
maximum uniformity within the Department and within the Executive Branch 
of the Government in the application of Title VI and this regulation 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 subsection shall have the same effect as though such action 
had been taken by the responsible official of this Department.
