Description: The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs
(OFCCP) is responsible for the administration of equal employment
opportunity programs which prohibit employment discrimination and
require affirmative action. These programs are Executive Order 11246,
as amended, Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended,
and the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistant Act of 1974
(VEVRAA), as amended, (38 USC 4212). This information collection
contains all recordkeeping and reporting requirements and forms which
are derived from the implementing regulations found in Title 41 of the
Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter 60, for supply and service
contractors. The Department of Labor (DOL) is seeking an extension of
this information collection in order to substantiate compliance with
nondiscrimination and affirmative action requirements monitored by
OFCCP. The Department has determined that compliance evaluation fall
within the exemption under PRA95. Therefore, these hours have been
excluded from this request.
