Sec. 1682. Federal administrative enforcement; report to
Congressional committees
Each Federal department and agency which is empowered to extend
Federal financial assistance to any education program or activity, by
way of grant, loan, or contract other than a contract of insurance or
guaranty, is authorized and directed to effectuate the provisions of
section 1681 of this title with respect to such program or activity by
issuing rules, regulations, or orders of general applicability which
shall be consistent with achievement of the objectives of the statute
authorizing the financial assistance in connection with which the action
is taken. No such rule, regulation, or order shall become effective
unless and until approved by the President. Compliance with any
requirement adopted pursuant to this section may be effected (1) by the
termination of or refusal to grant or to continue assistance under such
program or activity to any recipient as to whom there has been an
express finding on the record, after opportunity for hearing, of a
failure to comply with such requirement, but such termination or refusal
shall be limited to the particular political entity, or part thereof, or
other recipient as to whom such a finding has been made, and shall be
limited in its effect to the particular program, or part thereof, in
which such noncompliance has been so found, or (2) by any other means
authorized by law: Provided, however, That no such action shall be taken
until the department or agency concerned has advised the appropriate
person or persons of the failure to comply with the requirement and has
determined that compliance cannot be secured by voluntary means. In the
case of any action terminating, or refusing to grant or continue,
assistance because of failure to comply with a requirement imposed
pursuant to this section, the head of the Federal department or agency
shall file with the committees of the House and Senate having
legislative jurisdiction over the program or activity involved a full
written report of the circumstances and the grounds for such action. No
such action shall become effective until thirty days have elapsed after
the filing of such report.
