Title: Revisions to Procedures for Complaints/Charges of Employment Discrimination Based on Disability Filed Against Employers Holding Government Contracts or Subcontracts
Abstract: The EEOC has a joint regulation with the Department of Labor's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) to coordinate the processing of disability-based employment discrimination complaints/charges filed against employers holding Government contracts or subcontracts, where the complaints/charges appear to state a claim under both section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act (Section 503) (requiring affirmative action and prohibiting disability-based employment discrimination by Federal Government contractors and subcontractors), and title I of the ADA (prohibiting disability-based employment discrimination by employers with 15 or more employees). This proposed rule would amend this joint regulation to revise the definition of certain terms and clarify the procedures for referring these complaints/charges between the agencies with responsibility for enforcing section 503 and title I of the ADA. In drafting this regulation, EEOC will explore ways to make it more consistent with two other coordination regulations (29 CFR part 1640 and 29 CFR part 1691), as well as with the recently revised Memorandum of Understanding between EEOC and OFCCP. This MOU addresses the investigation and processing of complaints or charges alleging employment discrimination that may fall within the jurisdiction of title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended and/or Executive Order 11246.
