U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR PUBLISHES REQUEST FOR INFORMATION TO COMBAT RACE AND SEX STEREOTYPING

WASHINGTON, DC – The U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) today announced it will publish a Request for Information (RFI), as required by Executive Order 13950, “Combating Race and Sex Stereotyping,” on Sept. 22, 2020.

The RFI seeks information about federal contractor and subcontractor training, workshops or similar programing provided to employees. Federal contractors and subcontractors, as well as their employees, are encouraged to provide materials in response to the RFI. The Department continuously looks for ways to improve compliance assistance provided to the federal contracting community and will use the information submitted to develop materials and focus its enforcement of the Executive Order.

“OFCCP is looking forward to receiving responses to the Request for Information from federal contractors and subcontractors, as well as their employees, across the many industries that do business with the federal government. These responses will help OFCCP develop useful compliance assistance materials and effective enforcement programs, with the important objective of eliminating race and sex stereotyping and scapegoating,” said Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs Director Craig E. Leen.
