SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: I. Background OFCCP administers and enforces the three equal employment opportunity authorities listed below: • Executive Order 11246, as amended (E.O. 11246); • Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (Section 503); and • 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 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 inquiring about, discussing, or disclosing information about their pay or the pay of their co-workers, subject to certain limitations. E.O. 11246’s basic coverage applies to Federal contractors and subcontractors PO 00000 Frm 00055 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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 to financial institutions that are issuing and paying agents for U.S. Savings Bonds. E.O. 11246’s Affirmative Action Program (AAP) requirements apply to Federal contractors and subcontractors with 50 or more employees and a contract of $50,000 or more. Section 503 prohibits Federal contractors and subcontractors from discriminating in employment against individuals with disabilities. It also requires Federal contractors and subcontractors to take affirmative action to ensure equal employment opportunity for individuals with disabilities. Its requirements apply Federal contractors and subcontractors with a Government contract in excess of $15,000 and its AAP coverage applies to Federal contractors and subcontractors with 50 or more employees and a contract of $50,000 or more. VEVRAA prohibits employment discrimination against protected veterans. It also requires Federal contractors and subcontractors to take affirmative action to ensure equal employment opportunity for protected veterans. Its requirements apply to Federal contractors and subcontractors with a Government contract of $150,000 or more, and its AAP coverage applies to Federal contractors and subcontractors with 50 or more employees and a contract of $150,000 or more. This information collection request (ICR) seeks reauthorization for the annual AAP online certification process for Federal contractors and for a secure method for Federal contractors to submit AAPs electronically to OFCCP when they are scheduled for a compliance evaluation. II. Review Focus OFCCP is particularly interested in comments that: • Evaluate the proposed frequency and level of information collection; • Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; • Evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, E:\FR\FM\12DEN1.SGM 12DEN1
