This form
provides information necessary for
processing formal complaints of
employment discrimination in
accordance with EEOC Management
Directive (EEO–MD) 110, and 29 CFR
part 1614. It is the policy of the
Government of the United States to
provide equal opportunity in
employment for all persons, to prohibit
discrimination in employment because
of race, color, religion, sex (including
pregnancy, gender identity, and sexual
orientation), national origin, age,
disability, protected genetic
information, or status as a parent, and
to promote the full realization of equal
employment opportunity (EEO) through
a continuing affirmative program in
each agency.
Persons who claim to have been
subjected to these types of
discrimination, or to retaliation for
opposing these types of discrimination
or for participating in any stage of
administrative or judicial proceedings
relating to them, can seek a remedy
under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act
(Title VII) (42 U.S.C. 2000e et seq.) (race,
color, religion, sex (including
pregnancy, gender identity, and sexual
orientation), national origin), the Age
Discrimination in Employment Act
(ADEA) (29 U.S.C. 621 et seq.) (age), the
Equal Pay Act (29 U.S.C. 206(d)) (sex),
the Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. 791 et
seq.) (disability), the Genetic
Information Nondiscrimination Act
(GINA) (42 U.S.C. 2000ff et seq.)
(genetic information), and Executive
Order 11478 (as amended by Executive
Orders 13087 and 13152) (sexual
orientation or status as a parent).
The Department of Homeland
Security (DHS), Office for Civil Rights
and Civil Liberties (CRCL) adjudicates
discrimination complaints filed by
current and former DHS employees, as
well as applicants for employment at
DHS. The complaint adjudication
process for statutory rights is outlined in
the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission (EEOC) regulations found
at Title 29, Code of Federal Regulations,
Part 1614, and EEOC Management
Directive 110. For complaints alleging
discrimination prohibited by Executive
Order 11478, DHS follows procedures

similar to the procedures for statutory
rights, to the extent permitted by law.
The recordkeeping provisions are
designed to ensure that a current
employee, former employee, or
applicant for employment claiming to
be aggrieved or that person’s attorney
provide a signed statement that is
sufficiently precise to identify the
aggrieved individual and the agency and
to describe generally the action(s) or
practice(s) that form the basis of the
complaint. The complaint must also
contain a telephone number and address
where the complainant or the
representative can be contacted. The
complaint form is used for original
allegations of discrimination but also for
amendments to underlying complaints
of discrimination. The form also
determines whether the person is
willing to participate in mediation or
other available types of alternative
dispute resolution (ADR) to resolve their
complaint; Congress has enacted
legislation to encourage the use of ADR
in the federal sector and the form
ensures that such an option is
considered at this preliminary stage of
the EEO complaint process.
A complainant may access the
complaint form on the agency website
and may submit a completed complaint
form electronically to the relevant
Component’s EEO Office. The complaint
form can then be directly uploaded into
the DHS EEO Enterprise Complaints
Tracking System, also known as
‘‘iComplaints.’’
There is no change or adjustment to
the burden associated with the
collection of information associated
with the DHS complaint form. DHS is
not proposing to make any changes to
the DHS compliant form. This request is
a renewal of the current ICR collection
expiring in 60 days.
This is a renewal of the ICR request.
The Office of Management and Budget
is particularly interested in comments
which:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility.
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used.
Based on an average of the formal
EEO complaints filed at DHS during
Fiscal Years 2014 through 2021, there
are approximately 1,200 respondents
each year. Of the 1,200 respondents,
1,064 are federal employees who are
exempt (noted below). We estimate the

information collection to take
approximately 30 minutes.
136 respondents × 1⁄2 hour = 68 hours
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and This information
collection is conducted in manner
consistent with the guidelines in 5 CFR
1320.5(d)(2).
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses. A complainant may access
the complaint form on the agency
website and may submit a completed
complaint form electronically to the
relevant Component’s EEO Office. The
complaint form can then be directly
uploaded into the DHS EEO Enterprise
Complaints Tracking System, also
known as ‘‘icomplaints.’’
