SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC or Commission) recently upgraded some of its communication systems and certain telephone and facsimile numbers in use by the agency were changed. As a result, the EEOC's regulations require updating to correct a telephone number and a facsimile number. The telephone number, which is available for use by the public to access information about agency meetings, appears in the EEOC's regulations covering the Government in the Sunshine Act at 29 CFR 1612.7(a). The facsimile number appears in the EEOC's regulations on the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) at 29 CFR 1610.7(b) and 1610.11(a); this number is one method by which requests or appeals under the FOIA may be submitted to the EEOC Office of Legal Counsel.
