Sec. 900.406  Compliance information.

    (a) Cooperation and assistance. OPM, to the fullest extent 
practicable, shall seek the cooperation of recipients in obtaining 
compliance with this subpart and shall provide assistance and guidance 
to recipients to help them comply voluntarily with this subpart.
    (b) Compliance reports. Each recipient shall keep records and submit 
to OPM timely, complete, and accurate compliance reports at the times, 
and in the form and containing the information OPM may determine 
necessary to enable it to ascertain whether the recipient has complied 
or is complying with this subpart. 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 subpart.
    (c) Access to sources of information. Each recipient shall permit 
access by OPM 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 subpart. When information 
required of a recipient is in the exclusive possession of another 
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 
subpart 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 OPM finds necessary, to apprise the 
persons of the protections against discrimination assured them by title 
VI and this subpart.
