    (2) The training schedule, and
    (3) The means of documenting completion of training.
    (c) Each agency may contact EEOC and/or OSC for information and/or 
assistance regarding the agency's training program. Neither agency, 
however, shall have authority under this regulation to review or approve 
an agency's training plan.
    (d) Each agency is encouraged to implement its training as soon as 
possible, but required to complete the initial training under this 
subpart for all employees (including supervisors and managers) by

training cycle of no longer than every 2 years.
    (e) After the initial training is completed, each agency must train 
new employees as part of its agency orientation program or other 
training program. Any agency that does not use a new employee 
orientation program for this purpose must train new employees within 90 
calendar days of the new employees' appointment.
