                       TITLE 32--NATIONAL DEFENSE
 
        CHAPTER I--OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE (CONTINUED)
 
PART 195_NONDISCRIMINATION IN FEDERALLY ASSISTED PROGRAMS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF 
 
Sec. 195.7  Compliance information.

    (a) Cooperation and assistance. Each 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 timely, complete and 
accurate compliance reports at such times, and in such form and 
containing such information, as the responsible Department official may 
determine to be necessary to enable him to ascertain whether the 
recipient has complied or is complying with this part. In general, 
recipients should have available for the Department racial and ethnic 
data showing the extent to which members of minority groups are 
beneficiaries of federally assisted programs. In the case of any program 
under 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 imposed 
pursuant to this part.
    (c) Access to sources of information. Each recipient shall permit 
access by the responsible Department official 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 institution or person and 
this 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 
part and its applicability to the program under 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 part.
