Performance Review Board Appointment of Members

Official abstract: This notice announces the appointment of those individuals who have been selected to serve as members of the Performance Review Board (PRB). The PRB reviews and makes recommendations concerning proposed performance appraisals, ratings, rating calibrations, bonuses, pay adjustments, and other appropriate personnel actions for incumbents of Senior Professional and Senior Executive Service positions at the EEOC.

Federal Sector Equal Employment Opportunity

Official abstract: The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) proposes revising Federal sector EEO complaint rules to streamline processing, improve effectiveness, and implement the Cummings Act. The rule would end mandatory pre complaint counseling and remove the option to request administrative judge proceedings before a final agency decision. Complainants could seek such proceedings only on appeal, and the EEOC would order them only when necessary or efficient. The rule would bar administrative class complaint adjudication while preserving putative class assertions for exhaustion. The rule also allows joint processing of related individual complaints and updates pleading standards, mixed case procedures, attorney fee provisions, and required reports.

Removal of Reporting Requirements; Public Hearing

Official abstract: The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has scheduled a public hearing to gather information and hear public comment on its proposed rulemaking--Rescission of EEO Reports (EEO-1, EEO-2, EEO-3, EEO-4, EEO-5, EEO-6) and related recordkeeping and record preservation requirements.

Removal of Reporting Requirements

Official abstract: The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC" or "Commission") is issuing a proposed rule to rescind and remove the requirements for the filing of the EEO-1, EEO-2, EEO-3, EEO-4, EEO-5, and EEO-6 reports, and the recordkeeping and record preservation requirements related to these reports, under 29 CFR part 1602 because it has preliminarily determined that the reports are inconsistent with equal employment opportunity law and potentially unconstitutional. It further finds the data collected is not narrowly tailored, is unnecessary to enforce anti-discrimination laws, and at a minimum, that any marginal benefits are outweighed by the substantial burdens imposed on both employers, who must submit these reports annually regardless of any specific allegation or indication of a potential violation of the statutes the EEOC enforces, as well as the Commission. As part of this proposed rule, the Commission also reminds stakeholders that, in a notice of proposed rulemaking issued on November 21, 2024, the Commission proposed incorporating into part 1602 references to the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act. In the interest of efficiency, the Commission currently intends to include these previously proposed part 1602 revisions in the final rule issued at the conclusion of this rulemaking.

FEP Agency Designation Procedures: Revising Location of FEP Agency Lists

Official abstract: The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC or Commission) is revising its procedural regulations regarding fair employment practice agencies (FEP agencies or FEPAs). The lists of FEPAs in the regulations will be removed, and the agency will instead publish the lists of current FEPAs on its public website.

Rescission of Guidelines on Affirmative Action Appropriate Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as Amended

Official abstract: The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC" or "Commission") is rescinding its regulations regarding Affirmative Action Appropriate Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ("Guidelines"), and removing it from the Code of Federal Regulations. The Commission is rescinding the Guidelines and removing them from the Code of Federal Regulations because the Guidelines are inconsistent with the statutory language and were not supported by Supreme Court precedent when issued; they are obsolete; they only apply to affirmative action to benefit women or minorities; and they do not take into account multiple relevant Supreme Court cases and numerous developments in the lower courts, over the past four decades since their issuance in 1979.
