(b) Effect of State or local law or other requirements.

(c) Effect of rules or regulations of private organizations. The obligation to comply with this part is not obviated or alleviated by any rule or regulation of any organization, club, athletic or other league, or association which would render any applicant or student ineligible to participate or limit the eligibility or participation of any applicant or student, on the basis of sex, in any education program or activity operated by a recipient and which receives or benefits from Federal financial assistance.
(d) Effect of compliance with HEW regulations. If a recipient is covered by the title IX regulations issued by HEW, 45 CFR part 86, and has already complied with the HEW requirements corresponding to Sec. Sec. 15a.3(c), 15a.4(a), 15a.7 (a) and (b), and 15a.8 (a) and (b), then the requirements of those sections need not be duplicated in order to comply with this part. However, if the requirements have not been applied to all programs funded by this Department, then the requirements will have to be met as to those programs.
