Sec. 1607.8  Cooperative studies.

    A. Encouragement of cooperative studies. The agencies issuing these 
guidelines encourage employers, labor organizations, and employment 
agencies to cooperate in research, development, search for lawful 
alternatives, and validity studies in order to achieve procedures which 
are consistent with these guidelines.
    B. Standards for use of cooperative studies. If validity evidence 
from a cooperative study satisfies the requirements of section 14 below, 
evidence of validity specific to each user will not be required unless 
there are variables in the user's situation which are likely to affect 
validity significantly.
