OFCCP Proposes Significant Changes To Compliance Review Scheduling Letter And Itemized Listing

In late November, the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) submitted a request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for reauthorization of its compliance review scheduling letter and accompanying itemized listing, i.e., the documents that initiate OFCCP audits. The proposed changes, which OFCCP maintains will better facilitate its review of contractor establishments, would substantially increase the initial response burden on contractors selected for audit in a number of areas. The changes also reflect OFCCP's continued heightened focus on enforcement nearly two years into the Biden administration, particularly with respect to contractor compensation, personnel selection decisions, and outreach and recruitment.
