Office of the Secretary March 19, 2010 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This document proposes regulations to implement Executive Order 13495, Nondisplacement of Qualified Workers Under Service Contracts, signed by President Obama on January 30, 2009. The Executive Order establishes a general policy of the Federal Government that service contracts and solicitations for such contracts shall include a clause that requires the contractor, and its subcontractors, under a contract that succeeds a contract for performance of the same or similar services at the same location, to offer those employees employed under the predecessor contract whose employment will be terminated as a result of the award of the successor contract, a right of first refusal of employment under the contract in positions for which they are qualified. The Executive Order also directs the Department of Labor (DOL), in consultation with the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council (FARC), to issue regulations, within 180 days of the date of the Order to the extent permitted by law, to implement the requirements of this Order. The Regulatory Information Number (RIN) identified for this rulemaking will change with publication of the Spring Regulatory Agenda due to an organizational restructuring. The old RIN was assigned to the Employment Standards Administration, which no longer exists; a new RIN has been assigned to the Wage and Hour Division.
