official, to the

fullest extent practicable, seeks the cooperation of recipients in 

securing compliance with this part and provides assistance and guidance 

to recipients to help them comply with this part.

    (b) Compliance reports. Each recipient shall keep on file for one 

year all complaints of noncompliance received. A record of all such 

complaints, which may be in summary form, shall be kept for five years. 

Each recipient shall keep such other records and submit to the 

responsible Departmental official or his/her designee timely, complete, 

and accurate compliance reports at such times, and in such form, and 

containing such information as the responsible Department official may 

prescribe. In the case in which a primary recipient extends Federal 

financial assistance to any other recipient, the other recipient shall 

also submit compliance reports to the primary recipient so as to enable 

the primary recipient to prepare its report.

    (c) Access to sources of information. Each recipient shall permit 

access by the responsible Departmental official or his/her designee 

during normal business hours to books, records, accounts, and other 

sources of information, and to facilities that are pertinent to 

compliance with this part. Where required information is in the 

exclusive possession of another agency or person who fails or refuses to 

furnish the information, the recipient shall so certify in its report 

and describe the efforts made to obtain the information. Considerations 

of privacy or confidentiality do not bar the Department from evaluating 

or seeking to enforce compliance with this part. Information of a 

confidential nature obtained in connection with compliance evaluation or 

enforcement is not disclosed by the Department, except in formal 

enforcement proceedings, where necessary, or where otherwise required by 

law.

    (d) Information to beneficiaries and participants. Each recipient 

shall make available to participants, beneficiaries, and other 

interested persons such information regarding the provisions of this 

regulation and its application to the program or activity for which the 

recipient receives Federal financial assistance, and make such 

information available to them in such manner, as the responsible 

Departmental official finds necessary to apprise them of the protections 

against discrimination provided by the Act and this part.
