understood, and the impact of collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed. Currently, the Office
of Federal Contract Compliance
Programs (OFCCP) is soliciting
comments concerning its proposal to
obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for the
VerDate Sep<11>2014

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
OFCCP administers and enforces
three equal employment opportunity
laws listed below.
• Executive Order 11246, as amended
(E.O. 11246)
PO 00000
Frm 00120
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
• Section 503 of the Rehabilitation
Act of 1973, as amended (Section 503)
• Vietnam Era Veterans’
Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as
amended (VEVRAA)
These authorities prohibit
employment discrimination by covered
federal contractors and subcontractors
and require that they take affirmative
action to provide equal employment
opportunities regardless of race, color,
religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender
identity, national origin, disability, or
status as a protected veteran.
Additionally, federal contractors and
subcontractors are prohibited from
discriminating against applicants and
employees for asking about, discussing,
or sharing information about their pay
or, in certain circumstances, the pay of
their co-workers.
E.O. 11246 applies to federal
contractors and subcontractors and to
federally assisted construction
contractors holding a government
contract in excess of $10,000, or
government contracts that have, or can
reasonably be expected to have, an
aggregate total value exceeding $10,000
in a 12-month period. E.O. 11246 also
applies to government bills of lading,
depositories of federal funds in any
amount, and financial institutions that
are issuing and paying agents for U.S.
savings bonds. Section 503 prohibits
employment discrimination against
applicants and employees because of
physical or mental disability and
requires contractors and subcontractors
to take affirmative action to employ and
advance in employment qualified
individuals with disabilities. Section
503 applies to federal contractors and
subcontractors with contracts in excess
of $15,000. VEVRAA requires
contractors to take affirmative action to
employ, and advance in employment,
qualified protected veterans. VEVRAA
applies to federal contractors and
subcontractors with contracts of
$150,000 or more.
This proposed information collection
request (ICR) seeks to implement a
construction scheduling letter for
construction contractors to notify them
that they have been selected for a
compliance review. This way of
scheduling construction contractors will
be similar to the way OFCCP currently
schedules supply and service
contractors, and will provide certainty
and consistency between the two types
of compliance evaluations. Like supply
and service evaluations, OFCCP will go
to the contractor’s establishment and
work sites for an onsite review only if
the agency needs to investigate further
after reviewing the information
