  EEOC Contingency Plan in the Event of Lapsed Appropriations

                      
                        

          
          
                        EEOC Contingency Plan in the Event of Lapsed Appropriations
              


          
  The EEOC has developed this Shutdown Contingency Plan in the event of an absence of appropriations, as required by OMB Circular A-11, and in accordance with the Antideficiency Act, 31 U.S.C. 1341-1342, the Comptroller General's opinion of March 3, 1980, and the Attorney General’s opinions of April 25, 1980, and January 16, 1981.  This plan identifies excepted activities which will continue during the shutdown. It is expected that the shutdown process itself will be completed in less than one day.  Office Directors who believe that certain shutdown procedures will take longer than one day will need to get approval for an extension from the Chair.

**EEOC Lapse Plan Summary Overview**
		Estimated time (to nearest half day) required to complete shutdown activities:
			.5
		Total number of agency employees expected to be on board before implementation of the plan:
			2,490
		Total number of agency employees expected to be furloughed under the plan (unduplicated count):
			2,366
	**Total number of employees to be retained under the plan for each of the following categories (may include duplicated counts):**
		Compensation is financed by a resource other than annual appropriations:
			0
		Necessary to perform activities expressly authorized by law:
			0
		Necessary to perform activities necessarily implied by law:
			0
		Necessary to the discharge of the President's constitutional duties and powers:
			0
		Necessary to protect life and property:
			124
	**Brief summary of significant agency activities that will continue during a lapse:**
		The agency will ensue that no private sector charging party loses their right to file a timely charge of discrimination or federal complainant loses their right to file an appeal or request for reconsideration. Additionally, the agency will continue to litigate in cases where an extension has not been granted.
	**Brief summary of significant agency activities that will cease during a lapse:**
		While charges will be accepted, they will not be investigated, Staff will not be available to answer questions from the public, or to respond to correspondence, emails, or faxes from the public; Insofar as the courts grant EEOC’s requests for extensions of time, EEOC will not litigate in the federal courts; Mediations will be cancelled; Federal sector hearings will be cancelled, and federal employees’ appeals of discrimination complaints will not be decided; Outreach and education events will be cancelled; No FOIA requests will be processed.





I.  SUMMARY

EEOC ACTIVITIES DURING GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN:

Pursuant to the plan, only activities involving the safety of human life, or the protection of property will continue.  Specifically, EEOC will: preserve the rights of aggrieved individuals under the federal employment discrimination statutes by docketing new private sector charges, internal federal sector EEO complaints and federal sector appeals; continue to litigate lawsuits where a continuance has not been granted; examine new charges to determine whether prompt judicial action is necessary to protect life or property and, if appropriate, file such action to obtain preliminary relief; maintain the integrity and viability of EEOC’s information systems; maintain the security of our offices and property; and perform necessary administrative support to carry out those excepted functions.  The bulk of these activities would be handled by staff in our field offices.

EEOC ACTIVITIES THAT WILL NOT OCCUR DURING SHUTDOWN:

Staff will not be available to answer questions from the public, or to respond to correspondence, emails, or faxes from the public.
	While we will accept charges and internal federal sector EEO complaints that must be filed in order to preserve the rights of a claimant during a shutdown, these charges and EEO complaints will not be investigated.
	Insofar as the courts grant EEOC’s requests for extensions of time, EEOC will not litigate in the federal courts.
	Mediations will be cancelled.
	Federal sector hearings will be cancelled, and federal employees’ appeals of discrimination complaints will not be decided.
	Outreach and education events will be cancelled.
	No FOIA requests will be processed.

The Agency will halt operations for all **online**constituent services, including federal sector hearings and appeals and FOIA processing, except for keeping our public portal open so individuals could enter inquiries and each field office will monitor entries to see if any were nearing the end of the charge filing period.

II.  OVERVIEW

Section 124 of OMB Circular A-11 requires that agencies submit plans for an orderly shutdown in the event of a lapse in appropriations to OMB.  The Circular requires that agencies include the number of employees to be retained under the plan in the following five categories of employees:

employees whose compensation is financed by a resource other than annual appropriations -- EEOC would retain 0 employees;
	employees necessary to perform activities expressly authorized by law – EEOC would retain 0 employees;
	employees necessary to perform activities implied by law – EEOC would retain 0 employees;
	employees necessary to the discharge of the President’s constitutional duties and powers – EEOC would retain 0 employees; and
	employees who will protect life and property -- EEOC would retain no more than 124 staff and contract personnel, many part-time or on call.

In a September 16, 2019, memorandum, the EEOC’s Office of Legal Counsel provided guidance on Government operations in the event of a lapse of appropriations.  As described in more detail below, after effecting an orderly shutdown of the agency, EEOC would retain a very limited number of employees under the third category to protect government and individual property rights (the “emergency” exception).

**Employees necessary to affect an orderly shutdown of the agency.**These “shutdown personnel” can be excepted from the Antideficiency Act bar based on the “necessary implication” exception.  “Shutdown personnel” may only work on shutting down the agency and must leave the workplace or discontinue telework when their shutdown responsibilities are completed.  Shutdown responsibilities include, among other things, placing messages about the government shutdown on voicemail, email, and social media accounts, canceling meetings and travel plans, requesting extensions in litigation, identifying excepted personnel and their functions, and posting a notice on EEOC websites, in multiple languages if possible, explaining the shutdown and EEOC’s retained functions. In addition, all employees (including shutdown personnel) will be permitted to check their EEOC email for the sole purpose of checking for updates clearly labeled as “Shutdown Update” throughout the lapse.  Employees not excepted from the general shutdown are precluded from reviewing other emails not clearly related to the lapse as described above as this would be a violation of the Antideficiency Act.

**Employees who perform any of the following six functions that are excepted from a general government shutdown under the “emergency” exception.**This exception to the Antideficiency Act allows an agency to accept voluntary services in emergencies involving the safety of human life or the protection of property.  EEOC has determined that, to ensure that charging parties’ or other workers’ rights under EEOC’s laws are not lost, the following six functions at EEOC fall within the emergency exception**:**

Intake of charges of discrimination, federal sector complaints, hearing requests and appeals filed with the Office of Federal Operations.
	Evaluation and handling, if necessary, of any charge that might require EEOC to seek a temporary restraining order or other preliminary relief under Section 706(f)(2) of Title VII, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(f)(2).
	Work on ongoing litigation for which an extension has not been granted.  Where an extension has not been granted, the attorney would be excepted from the furlough only for that matter.
	Maintenance of the security, integrity, and viability of EEOC information systems.
	Maintenance of the security of EEOC’s offices and property.
	Administrative support for the excepted “emergency” functions. For example, depending on the timing of a shutdown, staff may be retained for the purpose of submitting timecards through the Quicktime electronic timecard system.  Support staff, including paralegals, could be retained to assist in unextended litigation.

**A.  COVERAGE.**This Shutdown Contingency Plan covers all EEOC officers, employees, and on-site contract personnel, except as noted below.  All activities of the agency are subject to shutdown provisions when invoked, except as noted below.

**B.  EXCEPTIONS**.  In the event of a lapse of appropriations, the agency is to prepare for orderly shutdown by releasing through furlough all employees except for the following:

Presidential appointees, who are not subject to furlough provisions;
	Employees and contract personnel engaged in shutdown activities.  (Unless designated to perform excepted functions in accordance with section (c), these employees and contract personnel are to be furloughed at the conclusion of their respective shutdown activities.)
	Employees and contract personnel designated by Headquarters Office Directors and agency District Directors to perform the six excepted functions listed above.  (Such employees are authorized to work only for that period of time in which they are performing excepted activities.)

**C.  POLICY.**

With regard to a projected shutdown in the event of a lapse of appropriations, the EEOC will keep employees fully informed of developments, as known, that affect the status of their employment.  If shutdown is unavoidable, the EEOC will follow this Shutdown Contingency Plan in preparing for the orderly suspension of EEOC operations and the maintenance of excepted functions.
	No EEOC employees or contract personnel are to be retained after a funding hiatus for the purpose of protecting of life and property except when they have been designated as excepted employees as discussed below.  During a shutdown, any district or headquarters office director may request authorization from the Chair to recall additional staff to engage in excepted functions.
	We do not expect that the total number of employees and contractor personnel assigned to perform the excepted functions listed above will exceed 5 percent of the total number of employees and contract personnel on board immediately preceding the shutdown.

III. PLANNING FOR SHUTDOWN

To prepare for a possible lapse in appropriations, the Commission will do the following:

**24 hours prior**:

Advise all employees and contractors of any developments and final guidance provided by the Office of Management and Budget.
	Prepare and distribute furlough letters and supplementary information to Office Directors, District Directors or their designees.
	Advise all employees and on-site contract personnel to report to duty the next business day after the shutdown for instructions and to engage in shutdown activities.
	Determine which contracts may continue to operate and notify contractors of their status during the shutdown.  For fully obligated contracts, the administrative functions normally performed by government employees (the contracting officer, the COTR, and other contract administrators) with respect to that contract CANNOT continue.  However, in those situations where the contractor CAN continue performance of fully obligated contracts if continued supervision or support by government personnel is not critical, for example, the contractor will be able to perform without government employees' assistance, approvals, acceptance or similar support.

IV. SHUTDOWN ACTIVITIES

The orderly shutdown of Agency operations is an excepted activity.  The suspension of Agency operations, which is to be completed as soon as possible on the day after the Commission’s appropriation has lapsed, is to be coordinated by Office Directors and District Directors.  **Shutdown responsibilities would include, among other things, placing messages about the government shutdown on voicemail, e-mail, and social media accounts; canceling meetings and travel plans; requesting extensions in litigation; identifying excepted personnel and their functions; and posting a notice on EEOC websites in multiple languages, if possible, explaining the shutdown and the EEOC’s retained functions. Employees not retained or excepted should depart or discontinue telework upon completion of their *excepted shutdown functions.* It is anticipated that the majority of employees will complete their shutdown responsibilities in 4 hours or less, but a small number of employees may require 8 to 16 hours.

V.  CONTINUING EXCEPTED FUNCTIONS

In order to maintain the six identified excepted functions, the following staffing levels have been authorized.

Office of Field Programs

In the absence of an appropriation, the bulk of the Commission’s emergency functions will be handled by staff in the Office Field Programs (OFP).  Our Enforcement Units will devote time to preserving the rights of potential charging parties to timely file a charge of employment discrimination. Our Hearings Units will devote time to preserving the rights of complainants.  Daily date stamping of all incoming enforcement and Hearings correspondence will preserve parties’ rights.

Depending upon the size of the office, OFP will authorize between one and two Managerial and/or Supervisory enforcement staff daily at each field location full-time, or part-time on call, depending on the office need.   The retained staff will open and date-stamp all incoming mail, including office faxes and office email, and review correspondence and screen inquiries made through the agency’s online Public Portal for two purposes: 1) to determine when any submitted charge or inquiry must be processed in order to avoid expiration of the limitations period for filing, processing those immediately that must be processed to avoid such an expiration, and 2) to identify charges where emergency preliminary relief is required to protect the safety of life or property.  For inquiries close to the limitations period, staff will ensure that a timely charge is taken and served.  Preliminary relief cases will be given to the retained legal staff (see Office of General Counsel below).For the 8 offices with the largest inquiry activity (6,600 or more in FY 2022), OFP will retain 2 Managerial and/or Supervisory staff each day per office; for the17 offices with the next largest activity (3,200 – 6,599 charge receipts in FY 2022), OFP will retain1.5Managerial and/or Supervisory staff each day per office; for the15 offices with between 2,000 and 3,199 inquiries in FY 2022,OFP will retain1Managerial and/or Supervisory staff each day per office; and forthe remaining 13 offices with less than 2,000 inquiries in FY 2022, OFP will retain 0.5 Managerial and/or Supervisory staff each day per office (i.e., 1 staff would work up to a half day). OFP would retain 63 full-time equivalent staff each day (i.e., two 0.5 staff count as 1 full staff).

With regard to customer service and information needs, the Commission’s Interactive Voice Response (IVR), which individuals reach when contacting the 1-800 number, will have a message informing people of the shutdown, providing specific instructions for potential charging parties who are nearing the time limits for charge filing, and telling all other potential charging parties to submit an inquiry through EEOC’s Public Portal or send a signed letter to the EEOC office nearest them or to EEOC Headquarters. The external website will have a message informing the public of the shutdown with similar information and a link to the Public Portal and the toll-free number for the IIG.  All EEOC offices will be closed to the public.

Managerial and/or Supervisory staff from the Intake Information Group (IIG) will screen calls for individuals who believe they are nearing the charge filing deadline to ensure they can file timely charges.  7IIGManagerial and/or Supervisorystaff memberswill be retained to screen calls from individuals who believe they are nearing the time limits for filing a charge and to review all incoming IIG emails to filter inquires approaching their charge filing deadline.

Two OFP-HQ Managerial and/or Supervisory staff members will be retained to handle mail-in charges or inquires received in Headquarters and to provide guidance to field staff on handling charges and inquiries.

Total staff:72 OFP staff, or the equivalent, would be retained each day.

Keep all telecommunications, email and information systems that support Mission Essential Functions (MEFs) operational. Non-essential systems and services will be shut down.
	Shut down external access to electronic constituent services, except for the Public Portal to allow members of the public to submit an inquiry that can be reviewed by staff to assess whether they are nearing the end of the charge filing period and referring all other users to a shutdown message posted to the front page of the website for more information.  This action may include disabling system-generated email notifications and other automatic processes during the shutdown period.
	Postpone any enhancements or system releases that were scheduled to be deployed during the shutdown period.
	Monitor systems remotely for automated alerts indicating system degradation or failures.
	Support operations include:
	Retained staff will be informed to contact the EEOC Help Desk in the event of system issue/support needs.

Services will focus on support for MEFs only – other requests for IT services will be held until the government reopens.
		OIT staff and select contractors, as described below, will be on an “on-call” status during the government shutdown.  In the event of a system/Help Desk alert, the notified individual will contact his/her supervisor or COR to alert them of the issue, the estimated number of hours needed to resolve the issue, and to seek approval for “on-call” retained function hours.  Upon approval, the notified individual(s) will work either remotely or on-site, as necessary, to return the affected system to normal operations.  Upon completion, management will be notified of the resolution and total hours worked.
		Hours/actions spent in support of maintaining emergency functions will be reported by OIT Management to the appropriate EEOC officials.
		Due to the “on call” status, response times needed to return systems to normal operations may be elongated/delayed.
