Pursuant to 29 CFR 1614.105, the individual must participate in pre-complaint counseling to try to informally resolve his/her complaint prior to filing a complaint of discrimination. Information provided on the pre-complaint forms may be used by the counselee to assist in determining if they would like to file a formal complaint against the Department. The information captured on these forms will be reviewed by the staff of the Department's Office of Civil Rights and EEO to frame the claims for investigation and determine whether the claims are within the parameters established in 29 CFR part 1614. Minor changes were made to previously approved EEO Forms to reflect the removal of gender identity and sexual orientation as a basis for sex discrimination. The term/label of “Aggrieved” was also changed to “Counselee” or “Aggrieved” to “employee or applicant”. *Forms:* Report of Counseling 62-03.1, Designation of Representative and Limited Power of Attorney 62-03.2, Agreement to Extend Counseling with Mediation 62-03.4, Individual Formal Complaint Form 62-03.5, Agreement to Extend Counseling without Mediation 62-03.6, Notice of Rights and Responsibilities 62-03.7, Notice of Right to File 62-03.8, Withdrawal 62-03.9, Class Complaint 62-03.10, ADR Election Form 62-03.11. *Affected Public:* Individuals (Current Treasury Employees, Former Employees or Applicants). *Estimated Number of Respondents:* 20. *Frequency of Response:* Once, On Occasion. *Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses:* 20. *Estimated Time per Response:* Varies by form from 3 minutes to 1 hour. *Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours:* 47 hours. *Request for Comments:* Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized and included in the request for Office of Management and Budget approval. All comments will become a matter of public record. Comments are invited on:
