The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) issued a final rule amending its regulations on recordkeeping and reporting under various federal acts. This rule delegates the authority to decide on hardship exemption applications to the Chief Data Officer and provides a set process and criteria for applying for these exemptions. The rule doesn’t create additional paperwork burdens and is not expected to significantly impact small entities' finances. It is also not considered a significant regulatory action under Executive Orders or the Congressional Review Act.
Simple Explanation
The EEOC made new rules about keeping track of information and reporting it to make sure everything is fair. They said someone special gets to decide when it's too hard for a group to follow these rules, but they didn't clearly explain all the steps or how everyone should know about the changes.
