EQUAL OPPORTUNITY DIRECTIVE NUMBER 2002-10
 

To:            DOI Bureau and Office Equal Opportunity Officers

From:        E. Melodee Stith, Director
                 Office for Equal Opportunity

Subject:    Affirmative Employment Program (AEP) Plan for Women and Minorities

This directive forwards the attached letter in which the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) indicates it will soon require all agencies to develop and submit a new AEP Multi-Year Plan. In anticipation of EEOC's management bulletin mandating a new plan, DOI Bureaus and Offices should closeout current Multi-Year plans and prepare new plans for submission to this office no later than March 15, 2002.

The new plan should be in effect for a least a three-year period and must include program analysis, problem and barrier identification, and objectives and action items. Detailed guidance on the development of the Multi-Year Plan is provided in EEOC Management Directive 714. We are hopeful that EEOC will provide us training on the MD 714 in January 2002.

Questions on this matter should be directed to Ophelia Miller, Office for Equal Opportunity, Workforce Diversity, at (202) 219-0805.
