OF THE INTERIOR--Table of Contents

 

  Subpart A_Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Race, Color, or National 

                                 Origin

 

Sec.  17.11  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 Department which 

impose requirements designed to prohibit any discrimination against 

individuals on the grounds 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superseded to the extent that such discrimination is prohibited by this 

part, except that nothing in this part 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person of any obligation assumed or imposed under any such superseded 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 any of the following (including future amendments 

thereof): (1) Executive Orders 10925, 11114 and 11246, as amended and 

regulations issued thereunder, (2) Executive Order 11063 and regulations 

issued thereunder, or any other regulations or instructions insofar as 

such order, regulations, or instructions prohibit discrimination on the 

grounds of race, color, or national origin in any program or situation 

to which this part is inapplicable, or prohibit discrimination on any 

other ground.

    (b) Forms and instructions. The Secretary or his designee shall 

issue and promptly make available to interested persons instructions and 

procedures for effectuating this part as applied to programs to which 

this part applies and for which he is responsible.

    (c) Supervision and coordination. The Secretary may from time to 

time assign to such officials of the Department as he deems appropriate, 

or to officials of other departments or agencies of the Government with 

the consent of such departments or agencies, responsibilities in 

connection with the effectuation of the purposes of title VI of the act 

and this part (other than responsibility for final decision as provided 

in Sec.  17.9), including the achievement of effective coordination and 

maximum uniformity within the Department and within the Executive Branch 

of the Government in the application of title VI of the act and this 

part to similar programs and in similar situations. Any action taken, 

determination made or requirement imposed by an official of another 

department or agency acting pursuant to an assignment of responsibility 

under this paragraph shall have the same effect as though such action 

had been taken by the Secretary of the Interior.
