29 CFR Part 1609

Guidelines on Harassment Based on Race, Color, Religion, Gender,

National Origin, Age, or Disability

AGENCY: Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).

ACTION: Proposed rule; extension of comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The period for commenting on the proposed guidelines on

harassment based on race, color, religion, national origin, age, or

disability (58 FR 51266, October 1, 1993) has been extended to June 13,

1994. After the comment period closed, the Commission received numerous

comments and requests by individuals to submit comments. Since the

Commission has informally been accepting and reviewing comments and

letters received after the comment period officially closed, it has

thus decided to formally extend the comment period in order to give all

parties an opportunity to express their views.

DATES: Comments must be received by June 13, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be addressed to the Office of the Executive

Secretariat, EEOC, 10th Floor, 1801 L Street, NW., Washington, DC

20507. Copies of comments submitted by the public will be available for

review at the Commission's library, room 6502, 1801 L Street, NW.,

Washington, DC, between the hours of 9:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. Copies of the

notice of proposed rulemaking are available in the following

alternative formats: Large print, braille, electronic file on computer

disk, and audio tape. Copies may be obtained from the Office of Equal

Employment Opportunity by calling (202) 663-4895 (voice) or (202) 663-

4399 (TDD).
