2019, at 84 FR 53956, is extended.
Comments should be received on or

On
October 8, 2019, the Department
published an NPRM and request for
comments in the Federal Register (84
FR 53956), proposing to amend its tip
regulations to address Congressional
action related to amendments to the Fair
Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The
Department also proposes to codify
policy regarding the tip credit’s
application to employees who
performed tipped and non-tipped
duties. This NPRM also withdraws the
Department’s December 5, 2017 NPRM
proposing changes to the Department’s
tip regulations, as the Consolidated
Appropriations Act has superseded it.

AGENCY:
The Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission (EEOC or
Commission) proposes amending its
rule covering official time for
representatives who are employees of

the federal government. The
Commission seeks to clarify that its rule
concerning official time does not apply
to representatives who serve in an
official capacity in a labor organization
that is the exclusive representative of
employees in an appropriate unit. The
Commission is doing this because it
believes that the relevant labor relations
statute articulates the best policy for
determining if someone receives official
time when they act for a labor
organization and the Commission does
not want its regulations to undermine
this approach.
DATES: Comments are due on or before
February 10, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under
section 717 of Title VII of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the
Commission is responsible for the
enforcement of equal employment
opportunity (EEO) in the federal
employment. As such, the Commission
is authorized to issue rules, regulations,
orders, and instructions as necessary
and appropriate to carry out its EEO
responsibilities. Section 717(b) of Title
VII provides that ‘‘[e]xcept as otherwise
provided in this subsection, the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission
shall have authority to enforce the
provisions of subsection (a) of this
section through appropriate remedies
. . . . and shall issue such rules,
regulations, orders and instructions as it
deems necessary and appropriate to
carry out its responsibilities under this
section.’’ Title VII of the Civil Rights Act
of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 2000e–
16.
In 1978, the President consolidated
numerous EEO responsibilities at the
EEOC and, among other things,
transferred responsibility for all federal
sector EEO from the Civil Service
Commission to the EEOC.1 When the
Commission took on responsibility for
federal sector EEO, however, the
Commission did not create a new
process. As the Commission stated in
2015, when it contemplated a review of
longstanding federal sector EEO
procedures of which this proposed rule
is a small part,
[T]he Federal sector EEO complaint
processing procedures did not originate with
EEOC in 1979 . . . . Rather, formal,
regulatory procedures first were promulgated
by the Civil Service Commission (‘‘CSC’’) in
1966, codified at 5 CFR part 713, and the
basic framework contained in those
procedures was adopted by EEOC in 1979
[and codified at 29 CFR part 1613]. Although
EEOC has revised the procedures a number
of times, the original structure inherited from
the CSC—counseling, complaint,
investigation, hearing, final agency action,
and appeal—remains.
See Advance Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking, 80 FR 6669 (Feb. 6, 2015)
(ANPRM). The EEOC thus positioned
itself to make changes to the federal
sector EEO complaint process.
Although the EEOC’s original 1979
federal sector regulation at 29 CFR part
1 On February 23, 1978, the President submitted
to Congress Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1978,
which consolidated Federal Equal Employment
Opportunity Activities. The text of the President’s
message and the terms of the plan are at 124
Congressional Record H 1457 (H. Doc. No. 95–295).
