SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under section 706 of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, Congress instructed that after the Commission finds reasonable cause for any charge, ‘‘the Commission shall endeavor to eliminate any such alleged unlawful employment practice by informal methods of conference, conciliation, and persuasion.’’ 42 U.S.C. 2000e–5(b).1 Congress went on to state that the Commission may only commence a civil action against an employer if ‘‘the Commission has been unable to secure from the respondent a conciliation agreement acceptable to the Commission.’’ Id. at § 2000e–5(f).2 Accordingly, conciliation is not just a good practice for the Commission’s handling of charges, but also attempting to conciliate after a reasonable cause finding is a statutory requirement and a prerequisite to the Commission filing suit.3 The Commission first published its regulation governing the procedures for conciliation in 1977. 42 FR 55388, 55392 (1977). Subsequent amendments to this regulation have largely been minor changes to account for organizational changes at the Commission or additions of new laws within the Commission’s jurisdiction, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA). 48 FR 19165 (1983); 49 FR 13024 (1984); 49 FR 13874 (1984); 52 FR 26959, (1987); 54 FR 32061 (1989); 56 FR 9624–25 (1991) (adding the ADA); 71 FR 26828 (2006); 74 FR 63982 (2009) (adding GINA). Since 1977, the Commission has not significantly changed the substance of its regulatory procedures governing conciliation. In 2015, following a series of cases challenging the adequacy of the 1 The Commission, or its officers or employees, cannot make public anything said or done during these informal methods ‘‘without the written consent of the person concerned.’’ Id. 2 This includes civil actions brought pursuant to section 707 of Title VII, which states that any action the Commission brings under that section shall be ‘‘in accordance with the procedures’’ of section 706. 42 U.S.C. 2000e–6(e); see also id. at § 2000e–6(c) (‘‘The Commission shall carry out such functions in accordance with subsections (d) and (e) of the section). 3 The only exception to the Commission’s obligation to attempt to conciliate is an action for ‘‘temporary or preliminary relief’’ under section 706(f)(2). 42 U.S.C. 2000e–5(f)(2).
