42 USC 12117: ADA charges, conciliation materials, required reports and case file information
About This Project
This project uses data compiled by the Sunshine in Government initiative, a coalition of journalism and transparency groups. SGI compiled data from federal agency annual FOIA reports to track how often b(3) exemptions were used. SGI also standardized the exemptions since some agencies used slightly different citations of the same laws. In some cases, agencies listed general laws without specifying a section under which information was withheld. This project does not include information from agencies that use no b(3) exemptions in 2008 or 2009. ProPublica compiled information about FOIA denials.

CHAPTER 126--EQUAL OPPORTUNITY FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES
SUBCHAPTER I--EMPLOYMENT
Sec. 12117. Enforcement
(a) Powers, remedies, and procedures
The powers, remedies, and procedures set forth in sections 2000e-4,
2000e-5, 2000e-6, 2000e-8, and 2000e-9 of this title shall be the
powers, remedies, and procedures this subchapter provides to the
Commission, to the Attorney General, or to any person alleging
discrimination on the basis of disability in violation of any provision
of this chapter, or regulations promulgated under section 12116 of this
title, concerning employment.
(b) Coordination
The agencies with enforcement authority for actions which allege
employment discrimination under this subchapter and under the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973 [29 U.S.C. 701 et seq.] shall develop
procedures to ensure that administrative complaints filed under this
subchapter and under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 are dealt with in a
manner that avoids duplication of effort and prevents imposition of
inconsistent or conflicting standards for the same requirements under
this subchapter and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The Commission, the
Attorney General, and the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs
shall establish such coordinating mechanisms (similar to provisions
contained in the joint regulations promulgated by the Commission and the
Attorney General at part 42 of title 28 and part 1691 of title 29, Code
of Federal Regulations, and the Memorandum of Understanding between the
Commission and the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs dated
January 16, 1981 (46 Fed. Reg. 7435, January 23, 1981)) in regulations
implementing this subchapter and Rehabilitation Act of 1973 not later
than 18 months after July 26, 1990.
