EEO Reporting Is Under Review: What Employers Should Watch

The EEOC’s EEO reporting proposal is under OIRA review, but current obligations have not changed. Here’s what employers should monitor now.

💡

TL;DR:
The EEOC’s proposed rescission is not a final compliance change. Employers should treat it as a rulemaking signal and review how workforce data evidence is maintained.

What you need to know

The change: The EEOC submitted a proposed rule for OIRA review with a title indicating rescission of EEO-1, EEO-2, EEO-3, EEO-4, EEO-5, and a reporting requirement under Title VII, the ADA, GINA, and the PWFA. (RegInfo.gov)
Who is affected: Current EEO-1 filers are the clearest audience; the proposal title also names EEO-2, EEO-3, EEO-4, EEO-5, and a reporting requirement under several federal employment laws. (RegInfo.gov)
Why it matters: If finalized as broadly as the title suggests, the proposal could reduce or eliminate specified federal EEO reporting obligations. The actual scope will depend on the proposal text if published and any final rule. (RegInfo.gov)
What to do first: Treat this as a pending rulemaking signal, not a completed compliance change. (RegInfo.gov)
Key date or trigger: OIRA received the proposed rule on May 14, 2026. (RegInfo.gov)
