    The powers, remedies, and procedures set forth in sections 2000e-4, 
2000e-5, 2000e-6, 2000e-8, and 2000e-9 of this title shall be the

(b) Coordination

    The agencies with enforcement authority for actions which allege 
employment discrimination under this subchapter and under the 
Rehabilitation Act of 1973 [29 U.S.C. 701 et seq.] shall develop 
procedures to ensure that administrative complaints filed under this 
subchapter and under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 are dealt with in a 
manner that avoids duplication of effort and prevents imposition of 
inconsistent or conflicting standards for the same requirements under 
this subchapter and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The Commission, the 
Attorney General, and the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs 
shall establish such coordinating mechanisms (similar to provisions 
contained in the joint regulations promulgated by the Commission and the 
Attorney General at part 42 of title 28 and part 1691 of title 29, Code 
of Federal Regulations, and the Memorandum of Understanding between the 
Commission and the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs dated 
January 16, 1981 (46 Fed. Reg. 7435, January 23, 1981)) in regulations 
implementing this subchapter and Rehabilitation Act of 1973 not later 
than 18 months after July 26, 1990.
