Comment on FR Doc # E9-30162

My comments on proposed changes to Federal Register Document ID EEOC-2010-0001-0001 are as follows: First, EEOC seems to be afraid and apologetic to propose and implement changes with the boldness and ferociousness that it will need to do to carry out it awesome responsibilities. The Justice Department has no fear in exercising their authority nor should you. If you want to get serious EEO issues fixed forever at any agency, EEOC must force agency to establish their EEO programs along the same lines as each agency’s Office of Inspector General. The OIG is effective and respected in each agency but the EEO program in most agencies is a joke. Secondly, your very mild and very weak proposed changes will not do anything to improve the overall EEO process especially in view of your budget constraints. In view of your budget constraint, the agencies have no incentives to resolve cases and will wants your Office to get every case that is filed. EEOC must implement regulatory changes that will force the agencies to have justice department effectiveness within each agency. Any proposed regulation that you implement should only be implemented to improve the overall EEO process especially in view of your budget constraints. In view of your budget constraint, the agencies knows that you have very little money and they have no incentives to resolve cases and will wants your Office to get every case that is filed. EEOC must implement regulatory changes that will force the agencies to have OIG like effectiveness within each agency. Then EEOC will be in a position to effectively do their job. As you can see, I am totally disappointed with your proposed changes and hopefully your will withdraw these proposed changes and go back to the drawing board to come up with aggressive changes under President Obama's Administration that will benefit society as a whole and save tax payer money. In Section 1614.108 you are amending this regulation to require agencies that have not completed a timely investigation to send notice to the complainant indicating that the investigation is not complete and providing a date by which is will be completed. This is very weak. Here, EEOC should be forcing agencies to grant the relief sought by the complainant instead of creating more work for each of your EEOCs. Such recommendation would force agencies to complete their investigations timely. If the complainant is untimely or uncooperative the complainant loses. The same should be true for the agencies. Where is the balance in your proposed regulations? If implemented, however, the untimely notices on delayed investigations by agencies should be sent to both the complainant and the representative. Another asinine proposed change is in Section 1616.502© where EEOC wants to delay any relief awarded for four months a 100 percent delay from 60 days. The relief awarded should be granted immediately and not held up even 60 days and especially not for 120 days contemplated by your regulation. This delay is very unfair to the complainant. How often does a complainant appeals when relief is awarded? I would think very seldom. Why build in more delay in a process that takes too long already. With this 4 month delay, who pays for the compensatory damages and attorney fees in the interim period while EEOC attempt to accommodate the agencies and the courts instead of the complainant especially when there is no appeal? In fact, EEOC will be in violation of the Court time frame. The 90 days that the courts allows a complainant to appeal is a court matter and is not an EEOC regulatory matter that EEOC should attempt to address in any shape, form or fashion. Here again EEOC is trying to get more EEO cases and reprisal complaints sent its way instead of proposing regulations that will prevent further EEO disputes. This unnecessary change must be withdrawn. Finally, EEOC needs to drop these proposed toothless and anti complainant changes and go back to the drawing board to propose regulatory changes with teeth in EEOC gums.
