1 GAO operates under the EEO complaint process in GAO Order 2713.2, Discrimination 

Complaint Resolution Process, not the federal sector EEO complaint process in 29 C.F.R. 

Part 1614. 

2 In January 2020, GAO revised its approach to data reporting to better mirror data reported by 

agencies operating under the federal sector EEO complaint process. GAO did not revise the 

comparative EEO data from previous fiscal years. See Pub. L. No. 107-174, title III, § 301(c)(2), 

116 Stat. 566, 574 (May 15, 2002) (requiring agencies to include “year-end data for each of the 

5 immediately preceding fiscal years”). 

3 For our purposes here, an “investigation” commences when a complainant or a representative 

file a complaint and ceases when GAO transmits the investigative file or the supplemental 

investigative file, whichever is later, to a complainant or a representative. 

4 For our purposes here, “final action” commences when GAO transmits the investigative file or 

the supplemental investigative file, whichever is later, to a complainant or a representative and 

ceases when GAO issues a final decision or the matter is otherwise resolved. 

5 GAO Order 2713.2 does not provide complainants with the option to request a hearing before 

an EEOC Administrative Judge. At GAO, unless the matter is resolved or an individual 

complainant seeks relief from GAO’s Personnel Appeals Board (PAB) or a federal district court, 

the complainant will receive a final decision within 90 days of receiving a copy of the 

investigative file f .

6

 For our purposes here, “final action by an agency involving a finding of discrimination” means 

a final decision with a finding of discrimination.

7 GAO Order 2713.2 does not provide complainants with the opportunity to appeal to EEOC’s 

Office of Federal Operations. Complainants may seek relief, after the receipt of a dismissal or 

final decision or after certain timeframes have passed, from the PAB or a federal district court ed .

8 GAO is not subject to the investigation timeframes in 29 C.F.R. § 1614.106(e)(2). However, 

GAO Order 2713.2 provides that GAO endeavors to complete an investigation within 180 days 

of the filing date of an individual complaint. If a complaint is amended, GAO endeavors to 

complete the investigation within the earlier of 180 days after the last amendment to the 

complaint or 360 days after the filing of the original complaint.
