Sec. 265.17  Review of affirmative action program.



    (a) Except as provided for contractors and subcontractors in 

Sec. 265.11(b), each affirmative action program to be acceptable must 

have the written approval of the Administrator.

    (b) The Administrator recognizes that there may be some exceptional 

situations where the requirements of Sec. 265.13 through Sec. 265.15 

may not fulfill the affirmative action objectives sought or that those 

objectives may be better achieved through modified or different 

requirements. Accordingly, the applicant, recipient or contractor may 

request approval for modified or different requirements that embody the 

objectives of Sec. Sec. 265.13 through 265.15. Such a request must 

include detailed showings that the particular situation is exceptional 

and that the modified or different proposals substantially comply with 

the objectives of this part. If the Administrator determines that the 

requirements for a detailed justification have been met, he may waive or 

modify these requirements or impose different requirements as he deems 

necessary to further the objectives sought herein.
