If you have any questions about this notice or any of CARB’s non-discrimination programs, policies or procedures, you may contact: CARB’s EEO Officer at EEOP@arb.ca.gov, or (279) 208-7110.

For all complaints submitted, the EEO Officer will review the complaint to determine if there is a prima facie complaint (which means, if all facts alleged were true, would a violation of the applicable policy exist). If the EEO Officer identifies a prima facie complaint in the jurisdiction of the EEO Office, the EEO Office will investigate and determine whether there is a violation of CARB’s Discrimination and Harassment Prevention Policy.
