For the purposes of this section, the term "technical grant or contract requirement" means any requirement imposed by administrative regulation or order. SEC. 3. The Director of the Bureau of the Budget is authorized to prescribe such additional regulations, not inconsistent with those prescribed herein, as he may deem necessary to implement section 612 of the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964, as amended, section 406 of the Juvenile Delinquency Prevention and Control Act of 1968, and this order.
