The Department of Commerce published a notice announcing the withdrawal of a proposed information collection related to complaints of employment discrimination based on sexual orientation. This decision followed the Supreme Court's ruling in Bostock v. Clayton County, which determined that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act includes sexual orientation as a form of sex discrimination. As a result, complaints can now be made using existing forms, improving the efficiency of the process. The form being withdrawn, Form CD-545, is no longer needed for filing such complaints.
