OMB Extends Section 503 Data Collection Amid Pending Regulatory Changes

On July 16, 2026, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved a three-year extension of the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs’ (OFCCP) information collection requirements under Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.

The approval covers the CC-305 Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability form and related recordkeeping requirements for federal contractors. It continues the current collection without change through July 31, 2029.

OMB’s approval comes as the OFCCP’s proposed revisions to its Section 503 regulations remain pending. In July 2025, the agency proposed scaling back several federal contractor obligations related to individuals with disabilities, including eliminating the disability utilization goal and related data analysis requirements. The OFCCP later sought comments on withdrawing the voluntary self-identification form and associated information collection requirements.
