Sec.  90.42  What responsibilities do recipients and agencies have generally 

to ensure compliance with the Act?



    (a) A recipient has primary responsibility to ensure that its 

programs or activities are in compliance with the Age Discrimination Act 

and shall take steps to eliminate violations of the Act. A recipient 

also has responsibility to maintain records, provide information, and to 

afford access to its records to an agency to the extent required to 

determine whether it is in compliance with the Act.

    (b) An agency has responsibility to attempt to secure recipient 

compliance with the Act by voluntary means. This may include the use of 

the services of appropriate Federal, State, local, or private 

organizations. An agency also has the responsibility to enforce the Age 

Discrimination Act when a recipient fails to eliminate violations of the 

Act.
