3046-AB18 202004 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 3046 Equal Employment Opportunity Commission EEOC Regulation on Issuance of Guidance

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC or Commission) proposes to amend its procedural regulations to establish rules for issuing guidance, in compliance with the requirements of Executive Order 13891.  These rules make guidance documents readily available to the public, ensure that guidance will be treated as non-binding, require a notice and public comment period for significant guidance, and establish a public petition process for the issuance, amendment, or repeal of guidance.
