But once a charge is filed, the exact opposite is true under the ADA, which clearly makes the EEOC the master of its own case, conferring on it the authority to evaluate the strength of the public interest at stake and to determine whether public resources should be committed to the recovery of victim-specific relief.

 FR Doc 04-1505
While EEOC considered mandating the format and layout that all agencies would adhere to so that one agency's posted data would be indistinguishable from another's in terms of look and feel, EEOC did not initially propose such an approach because it was reluctant to impose unilaterally a standardized posting design or format.
EEOC interprets this to mean that an agency must post the total number of complaints in which the agency's final action addresses a finding of discrimination whether that finding is rendered by the agency or an administrative judge.
EEOC adopts this position because we believe it most closely adheres to the intent of Congress, which is to track how often an agency chooses to implement or not implement a finding of discrimination rendered by an administrative judge.
