Does anyone know if the final regs are on the EEOC definition of an applicant.

Found this recent info at eeoc.gov:

What is the definition of "applicant" in the context of the Internet and related electronic technologies?
In order for an individual to be an applicant in the context of the Internet and related electronic data processing technologies, the following must have occurred:
1. the employer has acted to fill a particular position;
2. the individual has followed the employer's standard procedures for submitting applications; and
3. the individual has indicated an interest in the particular position.

"The precise definition of the term 'applicant' depends upon the user's recruitment and selection procedures. The concept of an applicant is that of a person who has indicated an interest in being considered for hiring, promotion, or other employment opportunities. This interest might be expressed by completing an application form, or might be expressed orally, depending on the employer's practice."

Hope that helps.

Under the new definition, the person must also meet the minimum qualifications of the position in order to be considered an applicant.
