SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OFCCP 

administers and enforces three equal 

employment opportunity laws: 

• Executive Order 11246, as amended 

(E.O. 11246); 

• Section 503 of the Rehabilitation 

Act of 1973, as amended (Section 503); 

• Vietnam Era Veterans’ 

Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as 

amended (VEVRAA). 

These authorities prohibit 

employment discrimination by covered 

federal contractors and subcontractors 

and require that they provide equal 

employment opportunities regardless of 

race, color, religion, sex, sexual 

orientation, gender identity, national 

origin, disability, or status as a protected 

veteran. Additionally, federal 

contractors and subcontractors are 

prohibited from discriminating against 

applicants and employees for inquiring 

about, discussing, or disclosing 

information about their pay or the pay 

of their co-workers, subject to certain 

limitations. E.O. 11246’s basic coverage 

applies to federal contractors and 

subcontractors and to federally assisted 

construction contractors holding a 

government contract in excess of 

$10,000, or government contracts that 

have, or can reasonably be expected to 

have, an aggregate total value exceeding 

$10,000 in a 12-month period. E.O. 

11246 also applies to government bills 

of lading, depositories of federal funds 

in any amount, and to financial 

institutions that are issuing and paying 

agents for U.S. Savings Bonds. E.O. 

11246’s Affirmative Action Program 

(AAP) requirements apply to federal 

contractors and subcontractors with 50 

or more employees and a contract of 

$50,000 or more. Section 503 prohibits 

employment discrimination against 

applicants and employees because of 

physical or mental disability and 

requires affirmative action to ensure that 

persons are treated without regard to 

disability. Section 503 applies to federal 

contractors and subcontractors with 

contracts in excess of $15,000, and its 

AAP coverage applies to federal 

contractors and subcontractors with 50 

or more employees and a contract of 

$50,000 or more. VEVRAA prohibits 

employment discrimination against 

protected veterans and requires 

affirmative action to ensure that persons 

are treated without regard to their status 

as a protected veteran. VEVRAA applies 

to federal contractors and 

subcontractors with contracts of 

$150,000 or more, and its AAP coverage 

applies to federal contractors and 

subcontractors with 50 or more 

employees and a contract of $150,000 or 

more. For additional substantive 

information about this ICR, see the 

related notice published in the Federal 

Register on September 14, 2020 (85 FR 

56635). 

This information collection is subject 

to the PRA. A Federal agency generally 

cannot conduct or sponsor a collection 

of information, and the public is 

generally not required to respond to an 

information collection, unless the OMB 

approves it and displays a currently 

valid OMB Control Number. In addition,
