Sec. 15a.4  Assurance required.

    (a) General. Every application for Federal financial assistance for 
any education program or activity shall as condition of its approval 
contain or be accompanied by an assurance from the applicant or 
recipient, satisfactory to the Secretary, that each education program or 
activity operated by the applicant or recipient and to which this part 
applies will be operated in compliance with this part. An assurance of 
compliance with this part shall not be satisfactory to the Secretary if 
the applicant or recipient to whom such assurance applies fails to 
commit itself to take whatever remedial action is necessary in 
accordance with Sec. 15a.3(a) to eliminate existing discrimination on 
the basis of sex or to eliminate the effects of past discrimination 
whether occurring prior or subsequent to the submission to the Secretary 
of such assurance.
    (b) Transfers of property. If a recipient sells or otherwise 
transfers property financed in whole or in part with Federal financial 
assistance to a transferee which operates any education program or 
activity, and the Federal share of the fair market value of the property 
is not upon such sale or transfer properly accounted for to the Federal 
Government both the transferor and the transferee shall be deemed to be 
recipients, subject to the provisions of subpart B.
    (c) Duration of obligation. (1) In the case of Federal financial 
assistance extended to provide real property or structures thereon, such 
assurance shall obligate the recipient or, in the case of a subsequent 
transfer, the transferee, for the period during which the real property 
or structures are used to provide an education program or activity.
    (2) In the case of Federal financial assistance extended to provide 
personal property, such assurances shall obligate the recipient for the 
period during which it retains ownership or possession of the property.

    (3) In all other cases such assurance shall obligate the recipient 
for the period during which Federal financial assistance is extended.
    (d) Form. The Secretary will specify the form of the assurances 
required by paragraph (a) of this section and the extent to which such 
assurances will be required of the applicant's or recipient's 
subgrantees, contractors, subcontractors, transferees, or successors in 
interest.
