EEOC Regulations

EEOC regulations implement the federal workplace discrimination laws and are found in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Before the Commission votes to issue a final regulation, EEOC usually first issues a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) for public comment, and sometimes even an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) to gather information about the relevant issues. Final regulations, as well as ANPRMs and NPRMS, must be approved by a majority of the Commissioners. In addition, EEOC's significant regulatory actions are approved by the Office of Management and Budget, and are coordinated with other federal agencies.

You can search, view, and comment on proposed Federal regulations from approximately 160 Federal Departments and Agencies through Regulations.Gov.

EEOC's regulations are published annually in Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). The CFR is available online through the U.S. Government Printing Office. The links below will connect you with EEOC's regulations in the CFR, which are included in parts 1600 through 1699. Because of the CFR's annual publication schedule, we may link to e-CFR for new or recently amended regulations. The e-CFR is a regularly updated, unofficial editorial compilation of CFR material and Federal Register amendments. Please also see New and Proposed Regulations above for recent developments.
