race, color, national origin, sex, or religion be excluded from 
participation in, be denied the benefits of, be subjected to 
discrimination under, or be denied employment in connection with any 
program or activity funded in whole or in part with funds made available 
under either the Justice System Improvement Act or the Juvenile Justice 
Act by the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration, the National 
Institute of Justice, or the Bureau of Justice Statistics. These 
regulations also implement Executive Order 12138, which requires all 
Federal agencies awarding financial assistance to take certain steps to 
advance women's business enterprise.
    (b) The regulations in this subpart apply to the delivery of 
services by, and employment practices of recipients administering, 
participating in, or substantially benefiting from any program or 
activity receiving Federal financial assistance extended under the 
Justice System Improvement Act of 1979, or the Juvenile Justice and 
Delinquency Prevention Act of 1974, as amended.
    (c) Where a private recipient which receives such assistance through 
a unit of government is engaged in prohibited discrimination, the Office 
of Justice Assistance, Research, and Statistics will invoke the 
enforcement procedures of this subpart (Sec.  42.208, et seq.) against 
the appropriate unit of government for failure to enforce the assurances 
of nondiscrimination given it by the private recipient pursuant to Sec.  
42.204(a). Where a private recipient receives assistance either directly 
from the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration, the National 
Institute of Justice, or the Bureau of Justice Statistics or through 
another private entity which receives funds directly from one of those 
agencies, compliance will be enforced pursuant to section 803(a) of the 
Justice System Improvement Act.
