Rules Regarding Equal Opportunity — 2001-01-25 [01-1073]

The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Board) has revised and reissued its Rules Regarding Equal Opportunity (rule) in order to continue its practice of conforming that rule as closely as possible to the "Federal Sector Equal Employment Opportunity," regulation of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (Commission), which the Commission revised effective November 9, 1999. The revised Board regulation is issued as an immediately effective interim rule, with opportunity for public comment, to ensure that all complaints currently pending at the Board, and which may in the near future be filed, are processed under procedures consistent with those in the Commission's regulation for agencies subject to its jurisdiction, which was issued following notice and public comment.
