The Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and OMB received two
public comments from organizations representing a significant
number of employers on this approval request. Both comments raise
the issue of how use of the Internet by employers to fill jobs
affects employer recordkeeping obligations. With the advent of the
Internet, the environment in which employers seek new employees has
changed. Accordingly the questions and answers accompanying the
Uniform Guidelines may need to be updated to account for these
changes. Approval is through December 2001 during which time, EEOC
in cooperation with DOL, DOJ, OPM, and OMB will evaluate the need
for changes to the questions and answers accompanying the Uniform
Guidelines necessitated by the growth of the Internet as a job
search mechanism. When resubmitting the Guidelines to OMB for
approval, EEOC shall include any such changes to the questions and
answers as appropriate.
