programs and that the exclusive remedy

for complainants is the administrative

procedures of the U.S. Department of

Labor which are initiated by a written

complaint. This is done on the

Complaint Form CC–4, Complaint of

Discrimination in Employment Under

Federal Government Contracts, which is

used for all three programs. Under

Executive Order 11246, as amended, the

authority for collection of complaint

information is found at Section 206(b).

The implementing regulations which

specify the content of this information

collection are found at 41 CFR 60–

1.23(a).

Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as

amended, the authority for collecting

information collection are found at 41

CFR 60–250.26(c).

collection are found at 41 CFR 60–

741.61.
