Analyzed Economic Effects

Easier Electronic Complaint Form
You can submit discrimination charges through the IER Charge Form using an updated interface that is easier to complete and more functional on mobile devices. The change is an interface update only; the notice says there are no major substantive changes to the form or the rights it covers.
Estimated Time Burden and No Cost
The DOJ estimates 918 individuals will complete the IER Charge Form each year, each taking about 30 minutes, for a total annual burden of 459 hours. The notice also states there are no estimated annual monetary costs to respondents ($0).
Charges May Be Forwarded to Other Agencies
If the Department of Justice lacks jurisdiction over a submitted charge, the IER may forward the charge to an applicable Federal, state, or local agency for any action deemed appropriate. This can move your complaint to another agency that may have authority to act.
