Use of the http://www.regulations.gov 

Web site to submit comments to EPA 

electronically is EPA’s preferred method 

for receiving comments. The electronic 

public docket system is an ‘‘anonymous 

access’’ system, which means EPA will 

not know your identity, email address, 

or other contact information unless you 

provide it in the body of your comment. 

In contrast to EPA’s electronic public 

docket, EPA’s electronic mail (email) 

system is not an ‘‘anonymous access’’ 

system. If you send an email comment 

directly to the Docket without going

period; extension. 

SUMMARY: EPA announced a 60-day 

public comment period on August 31, 

2011 (76 FR 54227) for the external 

review draft human health assessment 

titled, ‘‘Toxicological Review of nButanol: In Support of Summary 

Information on the Integrated Risk 

Information System (IRIS)’’ (EPA/635/ 

R–11/081A). On September 15, 2011, 

the public comment period was 

extended by one week because of a oneweek delay in the release of the 

Toxicological Review to the public (76 

FR 57033). In this Notice, EPA is 

extending the public comment period 

an additional 30 days to December 7, 

2011, at the request of the American

assessment for the purposes of public 

comment and peer review. This draft 

assessment is not final as described in 

EPA’s information quality guidelines, 

and it does not represent and should not 

be construed to represent Agency policy 

or views. After public review and 

comment, an EPA contractor will 

convene an expert panel for 

independent external peer review of this 

draft assessment. The public comment 

period and external peer review meeting 

are separate processes that provide 

opportunities for all interested parties to 

comment on the assessment. The 

external peer review meeting will be 

scheduled at a later date and announced 

in the Federal Register. Public 

comments submitted during the public 

comment period will be provided to the 

external peer reviewers before the panel 

meeting and considered by EPA. Public 

comments received after the public 

comment period closes will not be 

submitted to the external peer reviewers 

and will only be considered by EPA if 

time permits. 

DATES: The public comment period will 

be extended to end December 7, 2011.

EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY 

COMMISSION 

Coordination of Functions; 

Memorandum of Understanding 

AGENCY: Equal Employment 

Opportunity Commission. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Equal Employment 

Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and 

the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), 

Office of Federal Contract Compliance 

Programs (OFCCP) have updated their 

Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), 

last published at 64 FR.17,664 (April 12, 

1999). These updates include: using 

contemporary office names and titles; 

designating a ‘‘Coordination Advocate’’ 

at both agencies; reorganizing and/or 

condensing language for clarity; 

streamlining the Compliance 

Coordination Committees; and 

clarifying the complaint/charge referral 

procedures. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Claudia Gordon, Special Assistant to the 

Director, Office of Federal Contract 

Compliance Programs, Department of 

Labor, (202) 693–1073; Tanisha R. 

Wilburn, Senior Attorney Advisor, 

Office of Legal Counsel, Equal 

Employment Opportunity Commission, 

(202) 663–4909 (voice), (202) 663–7026 

(TTY). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

purpose of this Memorandum of 

Understanding (MOU) is to further the 

agencies’ joint objectives in ensuring 

equal employment opportunities for 

applicants and employees under Title 

VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title 

VII) and Executive Order 11246 (E.O. 

11246), to promote greater efficiency 

and coordination, and to eliminate 

conflict and duplication of effort. The 

agencies first entered into this MOU on 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

71030 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 221 / Wednesday, November 16, 2011 / Notices 

May 20, 1970, and revised it in 1974, 

1981, and most recently in 1999. 

In this update, the agencies edited the 

MOU’s Introduction and added 

paragraphs 1 and 10 to support 

coordination generally and specifically 

to create a Coordination Advocate at 

each agency. They edited paragraph 6 to 

clarify the tasks of the Compliance 

Coordination Committees at 

Headquarters and Field offices. They 

also explained that disability 

complaints/charges are not coordinated 

under this MOU, but rather pursuant to 

the 1992 joint regulation at 29 CFR part 

1641 and 41 CFR part 60–742 (‘‘joint 

disability regulation’’). 

To improve the clarity of the MOU’s 

provisions describing the referral 

process for complaints/charges under 

Title VII and E.O.11246, the agencies 

revised paragraph 7 and added new 

paragraph 8. Thus, language formerly in 

paragraph 7(d) of the 1999 MOU was 

moved to the beginning of paragraph 

7(a), to state that OFCCP is the EEOC’s 

agent to accept the Title VII component 

of an E.O. 11246 complaint. Consistent 

with equivalent provisions in the 

agencies’ 1992 joint disability 

regulation, OFCCP expressly agreed to 

refer complaints to the EEOC when 

OFCCP determines that it lacks 

jurisdiction, and EEOC made a similar 

referral pledge in new paragraph 8. See 

29 CFR 1641.5(d) and § 1641.6(c). In 

both instances, the date of filing with 

the first agency is deemed the date of 

filing with the second. 

Finally, the agencies updated the 

description of DOL’s structure and the 

titles of officials at both agencies. They 

also made minor editorial changes. 

The text of the revised MOU follows 

below. The major changes to the MOU 

are in paragraphs 1(a), 6(a), 7(a), 8 and 

10. The revised MOU is also available 

on the EEOC’s Home Page at http:// 

www.eeoc.gov and OFCCP’s Home Page 

at http://www.dol.gov/ofccp.

Memorandum of Understanding 

Between U.S. Department of Labor and 

Equal Employment Opportunity 

Commission 

The U.S. Department of Labor, Office 

of Federal Contract Compliance 

Programs (OFCCP) and the Equal 

Employment Opportunity Commission 

(EEOC) first entered into this 

Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) 

in 1970 to further the objectives of 

Congress under Title VII of the Civil 

Rights Act of 1964, as amended (Title 

VII), in coordination with Executive 

Order 11246, 30 FR 12319, as amended 

(E.O. 11246), and Executive Order 

12067, 43 FR 28967 (E.O. 12067) (the 

EEOC’s government-wide coordination 

authority). This MOU broadly promotes 

interagency coordination in the 

enforcement of equal employment 

opportunity (EEO) laws and also serves 

to maximize effort, promote efficiency, 

and eliminate conflict, competition, 

duplication, and inconsistency among 

the operations, functions and 

jurisdictions of the parties to the MOU. 

It includes specific coordination 

procedures for complaints/charges of 

employment discrimination filed with 

OFCCP under E.O. 11246 and/or Title 

VII, which deal with discrimination on 

the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or 

national origin. Further, the MOU 

includes provisions for sharing 

information as appropriate and to the 

extent allowable under law. 

This MOU sets forth the complaint/ 

charge referral procedures and 

information sharing provisions between 

the agencies as they relate to the 

enforcement of Title VII and E.O. 11246. 

However, the agencies’ Compliance 

Coordination Committees (¶ 6) are not 

limited to these two requirements, and 

may consult on any other topic that will 

enhance the agencies’ mutual 

enforcement interests under any of the 

laws within their respective 

jurisdiction. This MOU does not 

extensively discuss interagency 

coordination efforts involving disability 

and other bases, apart from the broad 

mandate for the agencies’ Compliance 

Coordination Committees (¶ 6). In 1992, 

the EEOC and OFCCP issued joint 

procedural regulations providing for 

information sharing, confidentiality, 

and complaint/charge referral under 

Title I of the Americans with Disabilities 

Act and Section 503 of the 

Rehabilitation Act. See 29 CFR part 

1641 (EEOC), and 41 CFR part 60–742 

(OFCCP). 

The parties to this MOU agree as 

follows: 

1. Sharing Information 

(a) EEOC and OFCCP shall share any 

information relating to the employment 

policies and/or practices of employers 

holding government contracts or 

subcontracts that supports the 

enforcement mandates of each agency as 

well as their joint enforcement efforts. 

Such information shall include, but is 

not limited to, affirmative action 

programs, annual employment reports, 

complaints, charges, investigative files, 

and compliance evaluation reports and 

files. 

(b) OFCCP shall make available to the 

appropriate requesting official of the 

EEOC or his or her designee for 

inspection and copying and/or loan, any 

documents in its possession pertaining 

to the effective enforcement or 

administration of any laws or 

requirements enforced by the EEOC 

including: (i) Title VII; (ii) the Equal Pay 

Act of 1963 (EPA); (iii) the Age 

Discrimination in Employment Act of 

1967 (ADEA); (iv) the Genetic 

Information Nondiscrimination Act of 

2008 (GINA); (v) the Americans with 

Disabilities Act (ADA) (in accordance 

with 29 CFR part 1641); and (vi) E.O. 

12067. All documents will be made 

available within ten days of such 

request, or as soon as practical 

thereafter. Disclosure of such material 

by EEOC shall be in accordance with 

paragraphs 4 and 5 of this Agreement. 

All transfers of information under this 

and other paragraphs of this MOU shall 

only be made where not otherwise 

prohibited by law and in accordance 

with paragraph 5 of this Agreement. 

(c) The EEOC shall make available to 

the appropriate requesting official of the 

OFCCP or his or her designee for 

inspection and copying and/or loan any 

documents pertaining to the 

enforcement and administration of (i) 

E.O. 11246; (ii) the affirmative action 

provisions of the Vietnam Era Veterans’ 

Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, 38 

U.S.C. § 4212; (iii) Section 503 of the 

Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (in 

accordance with 41 CFR part 60–742); 

and (iv) E.O. 12067. All documents in 

its possession (or to which it has access 

through a work-sharing agreement as 

described in paragraph 4(b) of this 

Agreement) will be made available 

within ten days of such request, or as 

soon as practical thereafter. Disclosure 

of such material by OFCCP shall be in 

accordance with paragraphs 4 and 5 of 

this Agreement. 

2. ‘‘Appropriate Requesting Officials’’ 

shall, for the purpose of this Agreement, 

include the following officials and staff: 

(a) For the EEOC— 

(1) The Chair 

(2) A Commissioner 

(3) The General Counsel 

(4) The Deputy General Counsel 

(5) The Associate General Counsel 

(6) The Legal Counsel 

(7) The Director of the Office of 

Research, Information and Planning 

(8) Any Regional Attorney 

(9) Any EEOC District, Field, Area or 

Local Office Director

Area Office Director 

(6) Any Regional Solicitor of Labor 

(7) Any OFCCP Division Director 

3. Requests directed to a headquarters 

office of one agency from a field office 

of the other shall first be forwarded 

through the headquarters of the 

requesting agency. Responses to all 

requests for information shall be made 

to the official making such request, or 

his/her designee. 

4. Disclosure of Information 

(a) All requests by third parties to this 

Agreement, including charging parties, 

respondents, and their attorneys, for 

disclosure of information shall be 

coordinated with the agency that 

initially compiled or collected the 

information. The decision of that agency 

regarding disclosure shall be honored. 

(b) Subparagraph 4(a), above, is not 

applicable to requests for data in EEOC 

files made by any state or local agency 

designated as a 706 agency with whom 

EEOC has a current charge resolution 

contract and a work-sharing agreement 

containing provisions required by 

Sections 706 and 709 of Title VII. 

Provided, however, that any such 

agency shall not disclose to third 

parties, including charging parties, 

respondents, and their attorneys, any of 

the information initially collected or 

compiled by OFCCP without express 

written approval by the Director, 

OFCCP. 

5. Confidentiality 

(a) When EEOC provides information 

to OFCCP, the confidentiality 

requirements of sections 706(b) and 

709(e) of Title VII, apply to that 

information. When OFCCP receives the 

same information from a source 

independent of EEOC, the preceding 

sentence does not preclude disclosure of 

the information received from the 

independent source. However, OFCCP 

will also observe any confidentiality 

requirements imposed on such 

information by the Trade Secrets Act or 

the Privacy Act. 

(b) When OFCCP obtains information 

from its receipt, investigation, and 

processing of the Title VII component of 

a dual filed charge, or when OFCCP 

creates documents that exclusively 

concern the Title VII component of a 

dual filed charge, OFCCP will observe 

any confidentiality requirements 

imposed on such information by the 

Trade Secrets Act, the Privacy Act, and 

sections 706(b) and 709(e) of the Civil 

Rights Act of 1964. 

(c) Questions concerning 

confidentiality under Title VII, the EPA, 

the ADA or GINA shall be directed to 

EEOC’s Office of Legal Counsel. 

(d) Questions concerning 

confidentiality under E.O. 11246, 38 

U.S.C. § 4212 (Section 402 of VEVRAA), 

or Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act 

shall be directed to OFCCP, Director, 

Division of Program Operations. 

6. EEOC and OFCCP shall establish 

procedures for notification and 

consultation at various stages of their 

respective compliance activities in order 

to develop potential joint enforcement 

initiatives, increase efficiency, ensure 

coordination and minimize duplication. 

Such procedures shall include: 

(a) Establishment of ongoing 

Compliance Coordination Committees 

(CCC)— 

1. Field Committees: OFCCP’s and 

EEOC’s District Directors and Regional 

Attorneys will meet, not less than 

biannually, to review enforcement 

priorities, systemic investigations of 

mutual interest, compliance review 

schedules, potential Commissioner 

Charges, and potential litigation. The 

Field Committees will work to increase 

efficiency, and eliminate competition 

and duplication, and may engage in 

consultation regarding any topic that 

enhances the agencies’ mutual 

enforcement interests. In addition to 

sharing information about investigations 

of discrimination based on race, color, 

religion, sex, and national origin, the 

Field Committees may also share 

information related to the enforcement 

of the EPA, the ADEA, GINA, and the 

ADA and Section 503 of the 

Rehabilitation Act (in accordance with 

29 CFR part 1641 (EEOC) and 41 CFR 

part 60–742 (OFCCP)). 

2. Headquarters Committee: 

Representatives from OFCCP’s and 

EEOC’s Headquarters shall meet not less 

than biannually to discuss topics of 

mutual interest to both agencies, 

including, but not limited to: 

(i) Procedures for routine access to 

and exchanges of electronic databases, 

including, but not limited to, lists of 

proposed and completed compliance 

evaluations; systemic and individual 

investigation files; and conciliation 

agreements and settlements; 

(ii) Consistent analytical approaches 

to identifying and remedying 

employment discrimination under Title 

VII; 

(iii) Joint and cross-training programs 

and materials; 

(iv) Joint policy statements; and 

(v) Procedures for coordinated 

collection, sharing and analysis of data. 

(b) Contact by each agency at the 

commencement of and during a field 

investigation or compliance evaluation 

where appropriate to obtain information 

in the possession of the agency on the 

employer being investigated. 

(c) Notification of OFCCP when EEOC 

has made a finding of cause, determined 

that attempts to conciliate have been 

unsuccessful, decided not to file a 

lawsuit, and learned or believes that the 

respondent is a federal contractor 

subject to E.O. 11246. 

(d) Consultation with the appropriate 

field office of OFCCP when an EEOC 

field office is contemplating 

recommending a Commissioner Charge 

or litigation, and coordination of its 

activities. 

(e) Consultation with the appropriate 

field office of EEOC when an OFCCP 

Regional Office is contemplating 

recommending the issuance of an 

administrative complaint and 

coordination of its activities. 

7. Receipt, Investigation, Processing, 

and Resolution of Complaints Filed 

with OFCCP 

(a) Dual-Filed Complaints/Charges— 

Pursuant to this MOU, OFCCP shall act 

as EEOC’s agent for the purposes of 

receiving the Title VII component of all 

complaints/charges. All complaints/ 

charges of employment discrimination 

filed with OFCCP alleging a Title VII 

basis (race, color, religion, sex, national 

origin, or retaliation) shall be received 

as complaints/charges simultaneously 

dual-filed under Title VII. In 

determining the timeliness of such 

complaint/charge, the date the matter is 

received by OFCCP, acting as EEOC’s 

agent, shall be deemed the date it is 

received by EEOC. When OFCCP 

receives such a complaint/charge and 

determines that the employer is not a 

federal contractor subject to E.O. 11246, 

it shall transfer the charge to EEOC 

within 10 days of that determination 

and notify the parties. Such notification 

shall explain that OFCCP, as EEOC’s 

agent, has received the Title VII charge 

and that the date OFCCP received it will 

be deemed the date it was received by 

EEOC. 

(b) Systemic or Class Allegations— 

OFCCP will retain, investigate, process, 

and resolve allegations of 

discrimination of a systemic or class 

nature on a Title VII basis in dual filed 

complaints/charges. OFCCP will 

promptly notify EEOC of OFCCP’s 

receipt of such allegations, by 

forwarding a copy of the complaint/ 

charge (and third party certificate, if 

any). OFCCP shall make available to 

EEOC, upon request, information 

obtained in processing such allegations, 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

71032 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 221 / Wednesday, November 16, 2011 / Notices 

pursuant to paragraphs 1 and 6(b) 

herein. However, in appropriate cases, 

the EEOC may request that it be referred 

such allegations to avoid duplication of 

effort and to ensure effective law 

enforcement. 

(c) Individual Allegations—OFCCP 

will refer to EEOC allegations of 

discrimination of an individual nature 

on a Title VII basis in dual filed 

complaints/charges. However, in 

appropriate cases, OFCCP may request 

that it retain such allegations so as to 

avoid duplication and to ensure 

effective law enforcement. 

(d) Investigating, Processing and 

Resolving Dual-Filed Complaints/ 

Charges—OFCCP will act as EEOC’s 

agent for the purposes of investigating, 

processing and resolving the Title VII 

component of dual filed complaints/ 

charges that it retains under this 

paragraph. OFCCP shall investigate, 

process and resolve such complaints/ 

charges as set forth in this 

subparagraph, and in a manner 

consistent with Title VII principles on 

liability and relief. 

(1) Notice of Receipt of Complaint/ 

Charge—Within ten days of receipt, 

OFCCP shall notify the contractor/ 

respondent that it has received a 

complaint/charge of employment 

discrimination under E.O. 11246 and 

Title VII. This notification shall include 

a copy of the complaint/charge, if taken 

on OFCCP’s complaint form, or 

otherwise state the name of the charging 

party, respondent, date, place and 

circumstances of the alleged unlawful 

employment practice(s). 

(2) Fair Employment Practice Agency 

(FEPA) Deferral Period—Pursuant to 

work-sharing agreements between EEOC 

and state and local agencies designated 

as fair employment practice agencies, 

the deferral period for dual filed Title 

VII complaints/charges that OFCCP 

receives will be waived. 

(3) Not Reasonable Cause Findings— 

If the OFCCP investigation of a dual 

filed complaint/charge results in a not 

reasonable cause finding under Title 

VII, OFCCP will issue a Title VII 

dismissal and notice of right-to-sue, 

close the Title VII component of the 

complaint/charge and promptly notify 

EEOC’s Director, Office of Field 

Programs, of the closure. 

(4) Reasonable Cause Findings—If the 

OFCCP investigation of a dual filed 

complaint/charge results in a reasonable 

cause finding under Title VII, OFCCP 

will issue a reasonable cause finding 

under Title VII. OFCCP will attempt 

conciliation to obtain relief, consistent 

with EEOC’s standards for remedies, for 

all aggrieved persons covered by the 

Title VII finding. 

(i) Successful Conciliation— 

Conciliation agreements will state that 

the complainant/charging party agrees 

to waive the right to pursue the subject 

issues further under Title VII. OFCCP 

will close the Title VII component of the 

complaint/charge, and promptly notify 

EEOC. 

(ii) Unsuccessful Conciliation—If 

conciliation is not successful, OFCCP 

will consider the E.O. 11246 component 

of the complaint/charge for further 

processing under its usual procedures. 

At the conclusion of OFCCP processing, 

it shall transmit the Title VII charge 

component to EEOC for any action 

EEOC deems appropriate. If EEOC 

declines to pursue further action, it will 

close the Title VII charge and issue a 

notice of right-to-sue. 

(5) Issuance of Notice of Right-to-Sue 

Upon Request—Consistent with 29 

C.F.R. § 1601.28, once 180 days have 

passed from the date the complaint/ 

charge was filed, OFCCP shall promptly 

issue upon request a notice of right-tosue on the Title VII component of a 

complaint/charge that it has retained. 

Issuance of a notice of right-to-sue shall 

terminate OFCCP processing of the Title 

VII component of the complaint/charge 

unless it is determined at that time, or 

at a later time, that it would effectuate 

the purposes of Title VII to further 

process the Title VII component of the 

complaint/charge. 

(6) Subsequent Attempts to File a 

Charge with EEOC Covering the Same 

Facts and Issues—If an individual who 

has already filed an OFCCP complaint/ 

charge that is dual-filed under Title VII 

subsequently files a Title VII charge 

with EEOC covering the same facts and 

issues, EEOC will forward the charge to 

OFCCP for consolidated processing. 

8. Complaints Misfiled with EEOC— 

When EEOC receives a complaint not 

within its purview, but over which it 

believes OFCCP has jurisdiction, it will 

refer the complaint to OFCCP. In 

determining the timeliness of such 

complaint, the date the matter is 

received by EEOC shall be deemed the 

date it is received by OFCCP. 

9. EEOC and OFCCP shall conduct 

periodic reviews of the implementation 

of this agreement, on an ongoing basis. 

10. Coordination Advocate—OFCCP 

and EEOC seek to ensure consistent 

compliance and enforcement standards 

and procedures, and to make the most 

efficient use of their available resources 

through coordination. Therefore, within 

sixty (60) days of the effective date of 

this MOU, the headquarters offices of 

each agency shall appoint a 

Coordination Advocate who will be 

available to assist, as necessary, in 

obtaining a full understanding of, and 

compliance with, the procedures set 

forth in this MOU.
