Abstract: The FR 1413 consists of two forms: Pre-Complaint of Discrimination (FR 1413a) and Formal Complaint of Discrimination (FR 1413b). These forms are used by individuals alleging discrimination by the Board while they were either applying for or had separated from employment with the Board. The Board’s Rules Regarding Equal Opportunity (the Board’s EEO rules) (12 CFR Part 268) govern the Board’s discrimination complaint process and have been enforced since August 7, 2006. The Board has cleared these reporting requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA).
