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requirements, are hereby superseded to the extent that such 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assumed or imposed under any such superseded regulation, order, 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.
