    The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission eliminates discrimination
    based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or age
    in hiring, promoting, firing, setting wages, testing, training,
    apprenticeship, and all other terms and conditions of employment. The
    Commission conducts investigations of alleged discrimination; makes
    determinations based on gathered evidence; attempts conciliation when
    discrimination has taken place; files lawsuits; and conducts voluntary
    assistance programs for employers, unions, and community organizations.
    The Commission also has adjudicatory and oversight responsibility for
    all compliance and enforcement activities relating to equal employment
    opportunity among Federal employees and applicants, including
    discrimination against individuals with disabilities.

    The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) was created by Title
    VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000e-4), and became
    operational July 2, 1965. Title VII was amended by the Equal Employment
    Opportunity Act of 1972, the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978, and
    the Civil Rights Act of 1991.
        Executive Order 12067 of June 30, 1978, abolished the Equal
    Employment Opportunity Coordinating Council and transferred its duties
    to the Commission with responsibility for providing coherence and
    direction to the Government's equal employment opportunity efforts.
        Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1978 (5 U.S.C. app.) effective January
    1, 1979, transferred Federal equal employment functions from the Civil
    Service Commission to the EEOC. Authorities for transferred functions
    include:
        --section 717 of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42
    U.S.C. 2000e-16), which prohibits discrimination in employment in the
    Federal Government on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or
    national origin;
        --Executive Order 11478 of August 8, 1969, which sets forth the U.S.
    policy of providing for equal employment opportunity in the Federal
    Government through affirmative action programs in Federal departments
    and agencies;
        --the Equal Pay Act of 1963 (29 U.S.C. 206) in the Federal sector;
        --section 15 of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as
    amended (29 U.S.C. 633a) in the Federal sector; and
        --section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 791),
    which pertains

    [[Page 513]]

    to employment discrimination against individuals with disabilities in
    the Federal Government.
        On July 1, 1979, responsibility for enforcement--in private industry
    as well as in State and local governments--of the Equal Pay Act of 1963
    and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 was transferred
    from the Department of Labor to the Commission. The former act prohibits
    sex-based pay differences where substantially equal work performed in
    the same establishment under similar working conditions requires equal
    skill, effort, and responsibility; and the latter prohibits employment
    discrimination against workers or applicants 40 years of age or older.
    In addition to employers, the age discrimination act covers activities
    of employment agencies, and both acts cover activities of labor
    organizations.
        The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) (42 U.S.C. 12101
    et seq.) was approved on July 26, 1990. Title I of the act has been
    enforced by EEOC since July 26, 1992, for employers with 25 or more
    employees, and since July 26, 1994, for employers with 15 or more
    employees. Title I governs private employers, State and local
    governments, employment agencies, labor organizations, and joint labor-
    management committees. The act prohibits employment discrimination
    against qualified individuals with disabilities and requires that
    employers make reasonable accommodations for such qualified individuals
    if it would not create undue hardship.
        The Civil Rights Act of 1991 reversed parts of several U.S. Supreme
    Court rulings and provided for compensatory and punitive damages for
    intentional discrimination under Title VII of that act, the
    Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the ADA.
        The Commission is composed of five Commissioners appointed by the
    President, with the advice and consent of the Senate, for 5-year
    staggered terms. The President designates a Chairman and a Vice
    Chairman.
        The Commission operates through 50 field offices, each of which
    processes charges.

    Activities

    Enforcement  The Commission's field offices receive charges of job
    discrimination under Title VII, the ADA, the Equal Pay Act of 1963, and
    the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967. Field offices may
    initiate investigations to find violations of the acts. Members of the
    Commission also may initiate charges alleging that a violation of Title
    VII or the ADA has occurred. Section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act of
    1973 covers Federal employees and applicants only.

    Charges Under Title VII  Title VII prohibits employment discrimination
    based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin by private
    employers, State and local governments, and educational institutions
    with 15 or more employees, or by the Federal Government, private and
    public employment agencies, labor organizations, and joint labor-
    management committees for apprenticeship and training.
        Charges of Title VII violations outside of the Federal sector must
    be filed with the Commission within 180 days of the alleged violation
    (or up to 300 days in a State or locality in which a fair employment
    practices agency is located), and the Commission is responsible for
    notifying persons so charged within 10 days of the receipt of a new
    charge. Before investigation, charges must be deferred for 60 days to a
    State or local fair employment practices agency in States and
    municipalities where there is a fair employment practices law covering
    the alleged discrimination. The deferral period is 120 days if the
    agency has been operating less than 1 year. Under worksharing agreements
    executed between the Commission and State and local fair employment
    practices agencies, the Commission routinely will assume jurisdiction
    over certain charges of discrimination and proceed with its
    investigation rather than wait for the expiration of the deferral
    period.

    [[Page 514]]

        If there is reasonable cause to believe the charge is true, the
    district, area, or local office attempts to remedy the alleged unlawful
    practices through informal methods of conciliation, conference, and
    persuasion. If an acceptable conciliation agreement is not secured, the
    case is considered for possible litigation. If litigation is approved,
    the Commission will bring suit in an appropriate Federal district court.
        Under Title VII, the Attorney General brings suit when a State or
    local government, or political subdivision is involved. If the
    Commission or the Attorney General does not approve litigation or if a
    finding of no reasonable cause is made, at the conclusion of the
    administrative procedures (or earlier at the request of the charging
    party) a Notice of Right-to-Sue is issued that allows the charging party
    to proceed within 90 days in a Federal district court. In appropriate
    cases, the Commission may intervene in such civil action if the case is
    of general public interest. The investigation and conciliation of
    charges having an industrywide or national impact are coordinated or
    conducted by Systemic Investigations and Individual Compliance Programs,
    Office of Program Operations.
        Under the provisions of Title VII, section 706(f)(2), as amended by
    section 4 of the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972 (42 U.S.C.
    2000e-5), if it is concluded after a preliminary investigation that
    prompt judicial action is necessary to carry out the purposes of the
    act, the Commission or the Attorney General, in a case involving a State
    or local government, governmental agency or political subdivision, may
    bring an action for appropriate temporary or preliminary relief pending
    final disposition of a charge.

    Americans with Disabilities Act Charges  The Americans with Disabilities
    Act of 1990 specifically incorporates the powers, remedies, and
    procedures contained in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
    Employment discrimination charges based on disability may be filed at
    any of the Commission's field offices. The Commission will investigate
    and attempt to conciliate the charges using the same procedures it uses
    to investigate and conciliate charges filed under Title VII. The
    litigation procedures under this title apply to charges filed under the
    act.

    Age Discrimination in Employment or Equal Pay Act Charges and Complaints
    The age discrimination in employment and equal pay acts cover most
    employees and job applicants in private industry and Federal, State, and
    local governments.
        An age discrimination charge must be filed with the Commission
    within 180 days of the alleged violation or, in a case where the alleged
    discriminatory action took place in a State which has its own age
    discrimination law and authority administering that law, within 300 days
    of the alleged violation or 30 days after the receipt of a notice of
    termination of State proceedings, whichever is earlier. The Commission
    will attempt to eliminate the unlawful practice through informal methods
    of conciliation, conference, and persuasion. A lawsuit may be brought by
    the Commission if conciliation fails, or individuals may file suit on
    their own behalf 90 days after filing a charge with the Commission and
    the appropriate State agency, but no later than 90 days after receipt of
    notice of final action by the Commission. Should the Commission take
    legal action, an individual covered by such action may not file a
    private suit. If an individual files a complaint of age discrimination,
    instead of a charge, his or her name will be kept confidential, but the
    individual filing the complaint may not bring a private suit unless he
    or she elects to file a charge first in accordance with the above
    requirements.
        A lawsuit under the Equal Pay Act of 1963 may be filed by the
    Commission or by the complainant. There are no administrative
    prerequisites to individual actions under this law. Wages may be
    recovered for a period of up to 2 years prior to the filing of a suit,
    except in the case of willful violation, where 3 years' backpay may be
    recovered. The name of the individual filing the complaint may be kept
    confidential at the administrative level.

    [[Page 515]]

    Complaints Against the Federal Government  The Commission's Federal
    sector processing regulations, codified in 29 CFR 1614, effective
    October 1, 1992, guide Federal employees or job applicants who want to
    file complaints of job discrimination based on race, color, national
    origin, sex, religion, age, or physical or mental disability.
    Complainants must first consult an equal employment opportunity
    counselor within their agency within 45 calendar days of the alleged
    discriminatory event or the effective date of the alleged discriminatory
    personnel action. If the matter cannot be resolved informally, the
    person may file a formal complaint within 15 calendar days after the
    date of receipt of the notice of the right to file a complaint. An
    accepted complaint is investigated by the respondent agency, and there
    is a right to a hearing before an EEOC administrative judge before the
    agency issues its final decision.
        An individual who wishes to file a complaint under the Equal Pay Act
    of 1963 must also follow these procedures. However, an individual may
    also elect to file suit under the Equal Pay Act of 1963 without prior
    resort to the agency or to the Commission.
        Federal-sector age discrimination complainants may bypass the
    administrative complaint process and file a civil action directly in a
    U.S. district court by first notifying the Commission within 180
    calendar days of the alleged discriminatory act and thereafter waiting
    30 calendar days before filing suit.
        Federal employees may file appeals of final agency decisions or
    decisions of an arbitrator or the Federal Labor Relations Authority with
    the Commission's Office of Federal Operations at any time up to 30
    calendar days after receipt of the agency notice of final decision. A
    petition for review of a Merit Systems Protection Board decision may be
    filed within 30 days of the date that the Board decision becomes final.
    A request for reopening and reconsideration of any decision of the
    Commission should be made in writing within 30 days of receipt of such
    decision. Commission decisions are issued in writing to the complainant
    and the agency. The Office of Federal Operations monitors and ensures
    compliance by Federal agencies with Commission orders and appellate
    decisions, and provides technical assistance and training to other
    Federal agencies.

    Other Activities  The Commission actively promotes voluntary compliance
    with equal employment opportunity statutes through a variety of
    educational and technical assistance activities. A distinct activity of
    the Commission is the Voluntary Assistance Program. This outreach
    program is designed to provide educational and technical assistance to
    small and midsize employers and unions--through 1-day seminars on equal
    employment opportunity laws--about their rights and obligations under
    all the statutes that the Commission enforces.
        Another activity initiated by the Commission is the Expanded
    Presence Program, which is designed to make the Commission accessible in
    areas identified as underserved by Commission offices.
        Through its Educational Technical Assistance and Training Revolving
    Fund, the Commission is also able to provide its constituency with
    advanced and specialized technical assistance offerings. Fees charged
    for Revolving Fund products are not to exceed the cost of producing the
    materials or services provided, are to bear a direct relationship to the
    cost of providing such outreach, and are to be imposed on a uniform
    basis.
        The Commission participates in the development of employment
    discrimination law through the issuance of guidelines, publication of
    significant Commission decisions, and involvement in litigation brought
    under Title VII, the Equal Pay Act of 1963, the Age Discrimination in
    Employment Act of 1967, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the
    Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
        The Commission has direct liaison with Federal, State, and local
    governments, employers and union organizations, trade associations,
    civil rights organizations, and other agencies and organizations
    concerned with

    [[Page 516]]

    employment of minority group members and women.
        The Commission develops and implements affirmative employment
    policies designed to enhance the occupational status of minorities,
    women, and persons with disabilities in the Federal Government.
        The Commission also publishes data on the employment status of
    minorities and women. Through 6 employment surveys covering private
    employers, apprenticeship programs, labor unions, State and local
    governments, elementary and secondary schools, and colleges and
    universities, the Commission tabulates and stores data on the ethnic,
    racial, and sex composition of employees at all job levels within the
    reported groups.
        Research information thus collected is shared with selected Federal
    agencies, and is made available, in appropriate form, for public use.
