SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Complaint Forms.
OMB Control Number: 1505-0262.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Description: This information is being collected for the purpose of
processing informal and formal complaints of employment discrimination
against the Department on the bases of race, color, religion, sex
(including pregnancy), national origin, age (over 40), disability,
genetic information, parental status, or retaliation. Pursuant to 29
CFR 1614.105, the individual must participate in pre-complaint
counseling to try to informally resolve his/her complaint prior to
filing a complaint of discrimination. Information provided on the pre-
complaint forms may be used by the counselee to assist in determining
if they would like to file a formal complaint against the Department.
The information captured on these forms will be reviewed by the staff
of the Department's Office of Civil Rights and EEO to frame the claims
for investigation and determine whether the claims are within the
parameters established in 29 CFR part 1614. Minor changes were made to
previously approved EEO Forms to reflect the removal of gender identity
and sexual orientation as a basis for sex discrimination. The term/
label of ``Aggrieved'' was also changed to ``Counselee'' or
``Aggrieved'' to ``employee or applicant''.

and Limited Power of Attorney 62-03.2, Agreement to Extend Counseling

Request for Comments: Comments submitted in response to this notice
will be summarized and included in the request for Office of Management
and Budget approval. All comments will become a matter of public
record. Comments are invited on: (a) whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) ways to minimize
the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including
