As Director of the Office for Civil Rights (OCR), Office of Justice Programs, I would like to offer you my assistance in completing the conditions of these Assurances, specifically Nos. 13, 14, and 15, as the grant goes forward. As you know, equal opportunity for the participation of women and minority individuals in employment and services provided under programs and activities receiving Federal financial assistance is required by law. Therefore, if there has been a federal or state court or administrative agency finding of discrimination against your agency, please forward a copy of such order or consent decree, as required by Assurance No. 14, to OCR at the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Office for Civil Rights, 810 Seventh Street, N.W., Room 5107, Washington, D.C. 20531.

This easy-to-follow EEOP Short Form reduces paperwork and preparation time considerably and will ensure a quicker OCR review and approval. The enclosed Seven-Step Guide to the Design and Development of an EEOP (which includes an EEOP Short Form) will assist you in completing this requirement. Please be reminded that the above requirements apply to primary grantees and to each 3. of their subgrantees or contractors that meet the criteria outlined in this letter. Therefore, all primary grantees should apprise subgrantees of these responsiblities and those meeting the criteria should send their EEOPs or EEOP Short Forms directly to the Office for Civil Rights within 60 days of the date of their award. NOTE: If agency has under 50 employees, regardless of amount of award, no EEOP is required; however, grantee must return applicable portion of Certification Form to OCR within 60 days. PURSUANT TO THE SPECIAL CONDITION REGARDING EEOPs GOVERNING THIS AWARD, RECIPIENT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT FAILURE TO SUBMIT AN ACCEPTABLE EEOP IS A VIOLATION OF ITS CERTIFIED ASSURANCES AND MAY RESULT IN SUSPENSION OF DRAWDOWN OF FUNDS UNTIL EEOP HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THE OFFICE FOR CIVIL RIGHTS. Additional Instructions For Grantees Receiving$25,000 Or More, But Under$500,000: 4. Pursuant to Department of Justice regulations, each grantee that receives $25,000 or more and has 50 or more employees is required to maintain an Equal Employment Opportunity Plan (EEOP) on file for review by OCR upon request. (However, if the grantee is awarded $1,000,000 in an eighteen (18) month period, it must submit an acceptable EEOP to OCR.) Please complete the applicable section of the attached Certification Form and return it to OCR within 60 days of the date of this letter. NOTE: If agency has under 50 employees, regardless of amount of award, no EEOP is required; however, grantee must return applicable portion of Certification Form to OCR within 60 days. If you have already submitted an EEOP as part of another award from the Office of Justice Programs(OJP)or the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services(COPS)within this grant period,or if you have certified that no EEOP is required, it is not necessary for you to submit another at this time. Simply send a copy of the letter you received from OCR showing that your EEOP or certification is acceptable. Additional Instructions For Grantees Receiving Under$25,000: 5. A recipient of under$25,000 is not required to maintain or submit an Equal Employment Opportunity Plan (EEOP) in accordance with Assurance No. 15. No Certification is required.
