DHS entered into Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) with a number of agencies from which it received employees and functions, including the General Services Administration, Department of Justice, Department of Transportation, and Department of the Treasury. Under each MOU, the agencies that transferred functions and employees to DHS continued to process formal complaints for those transferred employees on behalf of DHS. By contrast, DHS processed new EEO complaints and signed final agency actions. Seven MOU sub-elements submitted to the EEOC complaint data provided by the agencies of origin, and the EEOC aggregated that data for the Homeland Security-MOU report. Homeland Security MOU complaint data is presented at the end of each complaint processing table under Homeland Security-MOU. The DHS profile chapter contains a table that presents FEMA indicators, MOU indicators, and combined indicators for the reporting sub-elements of DHS. The narrative portion of the DHS profile section includes the combined data from FEMA and the reporting MOU sub-elements.
