DOJ requires Safe Streets Act and Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Act grant awardees to prepare and submit to DOJ an Equal Employment Opportunity Plan (EEOP) or a form certifying they meet an exception. DOJ's Office for Victims of Crime requires its financial assistance recipients as a matter of longstanding policy to prepare and submit an EEOP or a certification form. An EEOP is a report that compares the composition of a recipient's workforce, cross-classified by race, national origin, and sex in eight major job categories, to the demographics of similarly qualified people in the relevant labor market. If there is a significant underrepresentation of recipient employees in the eight job categories based on race, national origin, or sex, the recipient must address the disparity and take steps to ensure equal employment opportunities.
US Code:
42 USC 3715
Name of Law: Office of justice Programs grants, cooperative agreements, and contracts
The increase is a result of the recalculation of the time needed to complete the certification form.
