Encl. (1) to COMDTINST 5350.20A
Action taken pursuant to section 602 of the Act is subject to judicial review as
provided in section 603 of the Act.
Sec. 21.21 Effect on other regulations, forms, and instructions.
(a) Effect on other regulations. All regulations, orders, or like directions issued before
the effective date of this part by any officer of the Department which impose
requirements designed to prohibit any discrimination against individuals on the grounds
of race, color, or national origin under any program to which this part applies, and which
authorize the suspension or termination of or refusal to grant or to continue Federal
financial assistance to any applicant for a recipient of such assistance for failure to
comply with such requirements, are hereby superseded to the extent that such
discrimination is prohibited by this part, except that nothing in this part may be
considered to relieve any person of any obligation assumed or imposed under any such
superseded regulation, order, instruction, or like direction before the effective date of this
part. Nothing in this part, however, supersedes any of the following (including future
amendments thereof):
(1) Executive Order 11246 (3 CFR, 1965 Supp., p. 167) and regulations issued
thereunder; or
(2) Any other orders, regulations, or instructions, insofar as such orders, regulations, or
instructions prohibit discrimination on the ground of race, color, or national origin in any
program or situation to which this part is inapplicable, or prohibit discrimination on any
other ground.
(b) Forms and instructions. The Secretary shall issue and promptly make available to
all interested persons forms and detailed instructions and procedures for effectuating this
part as applied to programs to which this part applies and for which he is responsible.
(c) Supervision and coordination. The Secretary may from time to time assign to
officials of the Department, or to officials of other departments or agencies of the
Government with the consent of such departments or agencies, responsibilities in
connection with the effectuation of the purposes of title VI of the Act and this part (other
than responsibility for final decision as provided in Sec. 21.17), including the
achievement of effective coordination and maximum uniformity within the Department
and within the Executive Branch of the Government in the application of title VI and this
part to similar programs and in similar situations. Any action taken, determination made
or requirement imposed by an official of another department or agency acting pursuant to
an assignment of responsibility under this paragraph shall have the same effect as though
such action had been taken by the Secretary of this Department.
