Sec. 1690.306  Formal submission in absence of consultation.

    If an initiating agency has an issuance which was already under 
development on or before July 1, 1978, when Executive Order 12067 became 
effective, and on which there has been no consultation, the agency shall 
immediately notify the EEOC of the existence of such proposals and the 
following procedure shall apply:
    (a) EEOC shall confer with the initiating agency and shall determine 
whether the proposal should be the subject of informal consultation and/
or formal submission to other affected Federal agencies pursuant to 
section 1-304 of the Order. This does not preclude the right of the 
agency to consult with any other agency it wishes.
    (b) If the EEOC decides that informal consultation and/or formal 
submission is necessary, it shall confer with the proposing agency and 
agree on a mutually acceptable length of time for one or both (the 
informal consultation and/or formal submission).
    (c) The period of formal submission shall be sufficient to allow all 
affected agencies time in which to properly review the proposal. While 
such period may be longer, in no instance may it be shorter than 15 
working days.
