               Subpart G_FEP Agency Designation Procedures
 
Sec. 1601.71  FEP agency notification.

    (a) When the Commission determines that an agency or authority meets 
the criteria outlined in section 706(c) of title VII and Sec. 1601.70, 
the Commission shall so notify the agency by letter and shall notify the 
public by publication in the Federal Register of an amendment to Sec. 
1601.74.
    (b) Where the Commission determines that an agency or authority does 
not come within the definition of a FEP agency for purposes of a 
particular basis of discrimination or where the agency or authority 
applies for designation as a Notice Agency, the Commission shall notify 
that agency or authority of the filing of charges for which the agency 
or authority is not a FEP agency. For such purposes that State or local 
agency will be deemed a Notice Agency.
    (c) Where the Chairman becomes aware of events which lead him or her 
to believe that a deferral Agency no longer meets the requirements of a 
FEP agency and should no longer be considered a FEP agency, the Chairman 
will so notify the affected agency and give it 15 days in which to 
respond to the preliminary findings. If the Chairman deems necessary, he 
or she may convene a hearing for the purpose of clarifying the matter. 
The Commission shall render a final determination regarding continuation 
of the agency as a FEP agency.
