 Subpart B_Procedure for the Prevention of Unlawful Employment Practices
 
Sec.  1601.7  Charges by or on behalf of persons claiming to be aggrieved.

    (a) A charge that any person has engaged in or is engaging in an 
unlawful employment practice within the meaning of title VII or the ADA 
may be made by or on behalf of any person claiming to be aggrieved. A 
charge on behalf of a person claiming to be aggrieved may be made by any 
person, agency, or organization. The written charge need not identify by 
name the person on whose behalf it is made. The person making the 
charge, however, must provide the Commission with the name, address and 
telephone number of the person on whose behalf the charge is made. 
During the Commission investigation, Commission personnel shall verify 
the authorization of such charge by the person on whose behalf the 
charge is made. Any such person may request that the Commission shall 
keep his or her identity confidential. However, such request for 
confidentiality shall not prevent the Commission from disclosing the 
identity to Federal, State or local agencies that have agreed to keep 
such information confidential. If this condition is violated by a 
recipient agency, the Commission may decline to honor subsequent 
requests for such information.
    (b) The person claiming to be aggrieved has the responsibility to 
provide the Commission with notice of any change in address and with 
notice of any prolonged absence from that current address so that he or 
she can be located when necessary during the Commission's consideration 
of the charge.
