If the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) has already approved a recipients EEOP Short Form in connection with a previous award, is it necessary to send an additional copy to OCR for each new award?
If OCR approved an agency’s EEOP Short Form within two years prior to the date of a new award, it is not necessary for the recipient agency to submit another EEOP Short Form. Instead, the recipient need only send to OCR a copy of its EEOP Short Form approval letter along with a cover letter referencing the new grant number. However, if the EEOP approval is more than two years old, the recipient must submit an updated EEOP Short Form to OCR to fulfill the requirements connected to the new award.
