| 29:29:4.1.4.1.29.0.26.3 | 29 | Labor | XIV | 1695 | PART 1695—GUIDANCE PROCEDURES | § 1695.2 Guidance requirements. | EEOC | (a) Each guidance document shall comply with all relevant statutes and regulations. (b) It shall be written in plain and understandable English and avoid using mandatory language, such as “shall,” “must,” “required,” or “requirement,” unless the language describes an established statutory or regulatory requirement or is addressed to EEOC staff and will not foreclose the Commission's consideration of positions advanced by affected private parties; (c) It shall identify or include: (1) The term “guidance” or its functional equivalent and that the Commission is issuing the document; (2) A unique identifier that provides information on whether the document was subject to a vote (CV) or not (NVTA), the year of issuance, and unique number of its issuance and, if applicable, a Z-RIN; (3) The activity or entities to which the guidance applies; (4) A short summary of the subject matter covered in the guidance document at the top of the document. (5) A statement noting whether the guidance is intended to revise or replace any previously issued guidance and, if so, sufficient information to identify the previously issued guidance; and (6) Citations to applicable statutes and regulations; (7)(i) A clear and prominent statement of the following: “The contents of this document do not have the force and effect of law and are not meant to bind the public in any way. This document is intended only to provide clarity to the public regarding existing requirements under the law or Commission policies.” (ii) When binding guidance is authorized by law or is incorporated into contract, the language in paragraph (c)(7)(i) of this section may be modified to reflect either of those facts. (d) If the guidance document sets forth the Commission's position on a legal principle for the first time or changes the Commission's legal position on any issue, the Commission must approve the guidance document by majority vote. Any significant guidance or guidance that is otherwise subject to notice and comment procedures must be approved b… | |||||||

It may, however, be difficult to predict with precision the economic impact of voluntary guidance. (b) When determining the likely economic cost impact, the same level of analysis should be given as that required for a major determination under the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq. ) and the economic impact on small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq. ). | |||||||

(b) Notice shall be published in the Federal Register announcing that a draft of the proposed guidance document is publicly available on the Federal e-regulation website, and the proposed significant guidance document also shall be posted on the Commission website. (c) The Commission shall prepare and post a public response to major concerns raised in the comments, as appropriate, either before or when the significant guidance document is finalized and issued.

(e) Unless otherwise determined in writing by the Chair, upon issuing a significant guidance document, a report shall be submitted to Congress and GAO in accordance with the procedures described in 5 U.S.C. 801 (the “Congressional Review Act”). | |||||||
| 29:29:4.1.4.1.29.0.26.8 | 29 | Labor | XIV | 1695 | PART 1695—GUIDANCE PROCEDURES | § 1695.7 Petitions. | EEOC | (a) Any interested person may petition the Commission, in writing, for the issuance, amendment, or repeal of a guidance.

(b) Petitions may be filed with the EEOC, Office of Executive Secretariat, either electronically at the EEOC guidance portal, http://www.eeoc.gov/guidance, or in hard copy to U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Executive Secretariat, 131 M Street NE, Washington, DC 20507.
