Workplaces''

AGENCY: Department of Labor.

ACTION: Proposed guidance; extension of comment period.

SUMMARY: On May 28, 2015, the Department of Labor (DOL) published 
proposed guidance to assist federal agencies and the contracting 
community in implementing Executive Order 13673, ``Fair Pay and Safe 
Workplaces,'' which is designed to improve contractor compliance with 
labor laws and increase efficiency and cost savings in Federal 
contracting. The deadline for submitting comments is being extended 
from July 27, 2015, to August 11, 2015, to provide additional time for 
interested parties to provide comments on the DOL guidance. The 
Department of Defense (DOD), General Services Administration (GSA), and 
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), which on May 28, 
2015, jointly published a proposed rule implementing Executive Order 
13673, are similarly extending the comment period for their proposed 
rule by 15 days to August 11, 2015.
    If you have already commented on the proposed guidance you do not 
need to resubmit your comment. Should you choose to do so, you can 
submit additional or supplemental comments. DOL will consider all 
comments received from the date of publication of the proposed guidance 
through the close of the extended comment period.

DATES: The comment period for the Proposed Guidance published on May 
28, 2015, at 80 FR 30573, scheduled to close on July 27, 2015, is 
extended until August 11, 2015.
