Why is it important to know under which authorizing statute a recipient has received financial assistance?
The requirement to develop, maintain, and submit an Equal Employment Opportunity Plan (EEOP) derives from federal regulations implementing the Safe Streets Act. Recipients who have received funding under the Safe Streets Act must comply with the EEOP requirements. In addition, recipients of funding under the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) must comply with the EEOP requirements because the JJDPA relies on the administrative provisions of the Safe Streets Act. Recipients of funding under the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) must also comply with the EEOP requirements because as a matter of policy, the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) has made compliance with the EEOP requirements a condition for VOCA awards. Recipients of federal assistance that do not receive funding under the Safe Streets Act, the JJDPA, or VOCA are not bound by the EEOP regulations.
