Title: Federal Sector Equal Employment Opportunity Process
Abstract: In July 2012, the Commission published a final rule containing 15 discrete changes to various parts of the Federal sector EEO complaint process, and indicated that the rule was the Commission's initial step in a broader review of the Federal sector EEO process. The Commission intends to develop an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM), which would seek public input on additional issues associated with the Federal sector EEO process.

Statement of Need: Any proposals contained in an ANPRM would be aimed at making the process more fair and efficient.
