Sec. 21.7 Assurances required.
(a) General. (1) Every application for Federal financial assistance to which this part
applies, except an application to which paragraph
(b) of this section applies, and every application for Federal financial assistance to
provide a facility shall, as a condition to its approval and the extension of any Federal
financial assistance pursuant to the application, contain or be accompanied by, an
assurance that the program will be conducted or the facility operated in compliance with
all requirements imposed by or pursuant to this part. Every award of Federal financial
assistance shall require the submission of such an assurance. In the case where the
Federal financial assistance is to provide or is in the form of personal property, or real

recipient, or, in the case of a subsequent transfer, the transferee, for the period during

extended or for another purpose involving the provision of similar services or benefits, or
for as long as the recipient retains ownership or possession of the property, whichever is

which Federal financial assistance is extended to the program. The Secretary shall specify

required of subgrantees, contractors and subcontractors, transferees, successors in
interest, and other participants. Any such assurance shall include provisions which give
the United States a right to seek its judicial enforcement.
(2) In the case where Federal financial assistance is provided in the form of a transfer
of real property, structures, or improvements thereon, or interest therein, from the Federal
Government, the instrument effecting or recording the transfer shall contain a covenant
running with the land assuring nondiscrimination for the period during which the real
property is used for a purpose for which the Federal financial assistance is extended or

transfer of property or interest therein from the Federal Government is involved, but
property is acquired or improved with Federal financial assistance, the recipient shall
agree to include such covenant in any subsequent transfer of such property. When the
property is obtained from the Federal Government, such covenant may also include a
