3976.  GUIDELINES ON THE APPLICATION OF THE AMERICANS WITH 
DISABILITIES ACT OF 1990 TO EMPLOYER-PROVIDED HEALTH INSURANCE

Priority:  Agency Priority

Legal Authority:  42 USC 12111 et seq

CFR Citation:  29 CFR 1630

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The Commission proposes to issue guidelines to explain how 
the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) applies to employer-provided 
health insurance. The guidelines will address a number of issues that 
were not addressed in the Commission regulations implementing title I 
of the ADA, including the ADA's application to corporate ``wellness'' 
programs, and to disability-based distinctions in employer-provided 
health insurance plans. A notice of proposed rulemaking will present 
the guidelines for public comment. After consideration of the comments, 
the Commission will issue final guidelines.

3977.  PROCEDURES - THE AGE DISCRIMINATION IN EMPLOYMENT 
ACT

Legal Authority:  29 USC 628, sec 115, Civil Rights Act of 1991

CFR Citation:  29 CFR 1626

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Section 115 of the Civil Rights Act of 1991 deleted 
references to the Portal to Portal Act from the private suit provisions 
of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) and replaced them 
with a requirement that suit be filed no later than 90 days after 
termination of proceedings or dismissal of a charge by EEOC. 
Accordingly, section 1626.7(a) is being deleted and section 1626.15(b) 
is being revised because they were both based upon the Portal to Portal 
Act. New sections are being added concerning termination of EEOC 
proceedings and the issuance of notices of the new 90-day limitation 
period.

3978.  PROCEDURES ON INTERAGENCY COORDINATION OF EQUAL 
EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY ISSUANCES

Legal Authority:  EO 12067

CFR Citation:  29 CFR 1690

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Executive Order 12067 requires the Equal Employment 
Opportunity Commission and other Federal agencies to informally and 
formally coordinate with each other when they develop rules, policies, 
procedures, and other issuances affecting equal employment opportunity. 
29 CFR part 1690 sets forth specific procedures for this interagency 
coordination. These amendments to 29 CFR part 1690 will update the 
coordination process to suit the broad range of materials now being 
presented to EEOC for review, and also formalize existing practices as 
to the sequence of review between the EEOC under Executive Order 12067; 
the Department of Justice under Executive Order 12250; and the Office 
of Management and Budget under Executive Order 12866 and the Paperwork 
Reduction Act.

3979.  PROCEDURES FOR HANDLING COMPLAINTS OF EMPLOYMENT 
DISCRIMINATION UNDER THE GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE RIGHTS ACT OF 1991

Priority:  Agency Priority

Legal Authority:  2 USC 1219 to 1220, Government Employee Rights Act of 
1991; 42 USC 2000e et seq, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act; 29 USC 
621 et seq, Age Discrimination in Employment Act; 42 USC 12112 to 
12114, Americans With Disabilities Act

CFR Citation:  29 CFR 1603

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Under title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the ADEA and 
the ADA, certain staff members of State and local elected officials 
were exempt from protection against employment discrimination. Section 
321 of the Government Employee Rights Act of 1991 extends employment 
discrimination protections to the employment of persons who have been 
chosen or appointed by a State or local elected public official to 
serve on his or her personal staff, to serve the elected official on 
the policymaking level, or to serve as an immediate advisor with 
respect to the exercise of the constitutional or legal powers of the 
official's office.
Section 320 of the Government Employee Rights Act of 1991 extends 
protection to certain presidential appointees who were not otherwise 
protected under the ADEA, title VII, or the ADA. Section 320 does not 
cover individuals whose appointment is made by and with the advice and 
consent of the Senate, advisory committee members or members of the 
uniformed services. These are procedural regulations for processing 
such complaints of discrimination by previously exempt or uncovered 
individuals.
