From the Paper:

"Individuals who do not have an accommodation at the place of filing may even inform the EEOC office so that the needed facilities can be provided. This accommodation is in terms of language interpreter, print materials, etc. The arrangement is for non-federal employees and the employees of the federal government should see the Federal Sector Equal Employment Opportunity Complaint Processing. The information required for filing a complaint is the name, telephone number, and address of the individual who is complaining. The same information for the employer, employment agency or union that has done the discrimination is also required along with the number of members, if known. A short description of the supposed violation has to be provided along with the dates of the supposed violation."
