(1) Compliance with a regulation of 

the Department applicable to minority 
business enterprise will be investigated 
and enforced through the procedures 
contained in that regulation; and 

(2) Except as provided in paragraph 

(c) of this section, allegations of non-
compliance with regulations governing 
equal employment opportunity of an-
other Federal agency or a State or 
local agency, will be referred, for inves-
tigation and enforcement, to the Fed-
eral agency or, in the discretion of the 
Departmental Office of Civil Rights, to 
the State or local agency.

the AADA) and another Federal agen-
cy, a referral agency recognized by the 
Equal Employment Opportunity Com-
mission, or a court have concurrent ju-
risdiction over a matter— 

(1) If the other agency or court 

makes a finding on the record that 
noncompliance or discrimination has 
occurred, the FAA will accept the find-
ing, and determine what sanctions or 
remedies are appropriate under section 
30 as a result of the finding, after per-
mitting the party against whom the 
finding was made to be heard on the de-
termination of the sanctions or rem-
edies; or

ance with this subpart, the Secretary 
may—

(ii) Make a determination as to com-

pliance with section 30; and 

(iii) Impose appropriate sanctions 

and remedies. 

(d) Nothing in this section shall pre-

clude the Director of the Departmental 
Office of Civil Rights from initiating 
an investigation when it appears that 
the investigation of the complaint may 
reveal a pattern or practice of dis-
crimination or noncompliance with the 
requirements of this subpart in the em-
ployment practices of a grantee or 
other covered organization.
