    (a) Cooperation and assistance. The responsible official in the 

Federal Emergency Management Agency shall to the fullest extent 

practicable seek the cooperation of recipients in obtaining compliance 

with this regulation and shall provide assistance and guidance to 

recipients to help them comply voluntarily with this regulation.

    (b) Compliance reports. Each recipient shall keep such records and 

submit to the responsible agency official or his designee timely, 

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

form and containing such information, as the responsible agency official 

or his designee may determine to be necessary to enable him to ascertain 

whether the recipient has complied or is complying with this regulation. 

In the case in which a primary recipient extends Federal financial 

assistance to any other recipient, such other recipient shall also 

submit such compliance reports to the primary recipient as may be 

necessary to enable the primary recipient to carry out its obligations 

under this regulation.

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

access by the responsible agency official or his designee during normal 

business hours to such of its books, records, accounts, and other 

sources of information, and its facilities as may be pertinent to 

ascertain compliance with this regulation. Where any information 

required of a recipient is in the exclusive possession of any other 

agency, institution or person and this agency, institution or person 

shall fail or refuse to furnish this information, the recipient shall so 

certify in its report and shall set forth what efforts it has made to 

obtain the information.

    (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 applicability to the program for which the recipient 

receives Federal financial assistance, and make such information 

available to them in such manner, as the responsible agency official 

finds necessary to apprise such persons of the protection against 

discrimination assured them by the Act and this regulation.
