The Labor Department’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs has formally proposed rescinding its regulations that implemented and interpreted Executive Order 11246. President Trump rescinded that order when he signed E.O. 14173, Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity.

Under the proposed rule, the following provisions would be removed from Title 41 of the Code of Federal Regulations:

  • Obligations of Contractors and Subcontractors (Part 60-1)
  • Affirmative Action Programs, Supply and Service (Part 60-2) and Construction (Part 60-4)
  • Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures (Part 60-3)
  • Discrimination of the Basis of Sex (Part 60-20)
  • Guidelines on Discrimination Because of Religion or National Origin (Part 60-50)

OFCCP will accept public comments for 60 days.
