THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES EFFECTUATION OF TITLE 

VI OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964--Table of Contents

 

Sec.  80.6  Compliance information.



    (a) Cooperation and assistance. The responsible Department official 

shall to the fullest extent practicable seek the cooperation of 

recipients in obtaining compliance with this part and shall provide 

assistance and guidance to recipients to help them comply voluntarily 

with this part.

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

submit to the responsible Department official or his designee timely, 

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

and containing such information, as the responsible Department official 

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

whether the recipient has complied or is complying with this part. For 

example, recipients should have available for the Department racial and 

ethnic data showing the extent to which members of minority groups are 

beneficiaries of and participants in federally-assisted programs. 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 

part.

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

access by the responsible Department 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 part. 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. Asserted considerations of privacy or confidentiality may 

not operate to 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 shall not be 

disclosed except where necessary in formal enforcement proceedings 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 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 Department official 

finds necessary to apprise such persons of the protections against 

discrimination assured them by the Act and this regulation.
