Sec.  103.310  Conciliation agreement.



    (a) The terms of a settlement of a complaint will be reduced to a 

written conciliation agreement. The conciliation agreement shall seek to 

protect the interests of the aggrieved person, other persons similarly 

situated, and the public interest. The types of relief that may be 

sought for the aggrieved person are described in Sec.  103.315. The 

provisions that may be sought for the vindication of the public interest 

are described in Sec.  103.320.

    (b)(1) The agreement must be executed by the respondent and the 

complainant. The agreement is subject to the approval of the Assistant 

Secretary, who will indicate approval by signing the agreement. The 

Assistant Secretary will approve an agreement and, if the Assistant 

Secretary is the complainant, will execute the agreement, only if:

    (i) The complainant and the respondent agree to the relief accorded 

the aggrieved person;

    (ii) The provisions of the agreement will adequately vindicate the 

public interest; and

    (iii) If the Assistant Secretary is the complainant, all aggrieved 

persons named in the complaint are satisfied with the relief provided to 

protect their interests.

    (2) The General Counsel may issue a charge under Sec.  103.405 if 

the aggrieved person and the respondent have executed a conciliation 

agreement that has not been approved by the Assistant Secretary.
