EEOC 3046-AA91 29 CFR Part 1640 - Procedures for Coordinating the Investigation of Complaints or Charges of Discrimination based on Disability subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 The EEOC plans to propose to update this joint regulation with the Department of Justice to enhance coordination and enforcement of Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. By updating outdated terminology and clarifying complaint referral procedures, these revisions will increase the efficiency of complaint processing and prevent timeliness concerns regarding complaints filed in a timely fashion with the incorrect agency. These revisions will benefit agencies (by ensuring that procedures accurately describe the complaint process), charging parties/complainants (by ensuring that charges/complaints are processed in a timely manner by the agency best able to investigate the issues at hand), and respondents (by ensuring that one federal agency takes the lead in any charge/complaint filed against them). EEOC is identifying proposed changes to this regulation that are anticipated to result in increased efficiency in the government's response to such complaints. 12/2014 The estimated date for publication of a proposed rule is December 2014. EEOC staff is currently developing specific revisions to the rule, which is a joint rule with DOJ, and has contacted the appropriate staff at DOJ for input.
EEOC 3046-AA92 29 CFR Part 1641 - Procedures for Complaints/Charges of Employment Discrimination based on Disability filed against Employers holding Government Contracts or Subcontracts The EEOC plans to propose to update this joint regulation with the Department of Labor's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) to enhance coordination and enforcement of Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act. By updating outdated terminology and clarifying complaint referral procedures, these revisions will increase the efficiency of complaint processing. These revisions will benefit agencies (by ensuring that procedures accurately describe the complaint process), charging parties/complainants (by ensuring that charges/complaints are processed in a timely manner by the agency best able to investigate the issues at hand), and respondents (by ensuring that one federal agency takes the lead in any charge/complaint filed against them).

By updating outdated terminology and clarifying complaint referral procedures, these revisions will increase the efficiency of complaint processing and prevent timeliness concerns regarding complaints filed in a timely fashion with the incorrect agency. These revisions will benefit agencies (by ensuring that procedures accurately describe the complaint process), charging parties/complainants (by ensuring that charges/complaints are processed in a timely manner by the agency best able to investigate the issues at hand), and respondents (by ensuring that one federal agency takes the lead in any charge/complaint filed against them).
