Coordination of Functions; Memorandum of Understanding

the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the Department of Labor (DOL), Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) have adopted final revisions to their 1981 Memorandum of Understanding, originally published at 46 FR 7435, Jan. 23, 1981. The revisions include updated charge processing procedures to increase coordination and efficiency and to minimize duplication in the agencies' overlapping EEO enforcement activities. Modeled on the 1992 joint rule for processing disability complaints under Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act and Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the revisions authorize OFCCP to act as EEOC's agent to process and resolve the Title VII component of complaints/charges dual filed with OFCCP under Executive Order 11246, as amended, and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended. The revisions also add a paragraph to address Title VII's confidentiality requirements. Additional minor changes have been made to update other sections of the 1981 agreement, such as changes in the titles of agency officials.
