• a DOL funds recipient maintaining a record of E.O. characteristics data and a log of any E.O. complaints for activities under an applicable DOL funded program;
• a person who believes a relevant E.O. requirement may have been violated filing a complaint with either the funds recipient or with the DOL Civil Rights Center;
• a State periodically filing a plan outlining administrative methods the State will use to ensure funds are not used in a discriminatory manner; and
• a DOL funds recipient posting required notices.
