prescribes by regulation or order.
Accordingly, the EEOC issued

EEOC uses EEO–5 data to investigate
charges of employment discrimination
against elementary and secondary
public school districts. The data also are
used for research. The data are shared
with the Department of Education
(Office for Civil Rights) and the
Department of Justice. Pursuant to
Section 709(d) of Title VII of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964, as amended, EEO–
5 data also are shared with state and
local Fair Employment Practices
Agencies (FEPAs).
