(A) The state agency or state university's (the "contracting agency's") Equal Employment Opportunity Officer (Officer) shall provide a Waiver Compliance Report (Report) upon request by the Coordinator. The Report shall include a description of the contracting agency's procedures for evaluating and granting an EDGE waiver pursuant to rule 123:2-14-10 of the Administrative Code.
