Regulations and Guidelines

EEOC regulations and guidelines explain the federal workplace discrimination laws that the EEOC enforces, as well as several laws related to how the EEOC interacts with the public. When federal regulations are first issued or updated, they appear in the Federal Register. The final versions are published in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). EEOC regulations appear in Title 29 of the CFR.
