17372 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 62 / Wednesday, April 1, 2015 / Proposed Rules 

part of the overall Moving Ahead for 

Progress in the 21st Century framework 

for enhancing the management and 

performance of transportation highway 

infrastructure funded through the 

Federal-aid highway program. 

The original comment period for the 

NPRM closes on April 21, 2015. The 

AASHTO has expressed concern that 

this closing date does not provide 

sufficient time to review and provide 

comprehensive comments on the 

proposal. The FHWA recognizes that 

others interested in commenting may 

have similar concerns and agrees that 

the comment period should be 

extended. To allow time for this 

organization and others to submit 

comprehensive comments, the closing 

date is changed from April 21, 2015, to 

May 29, 2015. 

Authority: 23 U.S.C. 104(b)(1), 119.

Correction 

In proposed rule document 2015– 

06544 beginning on page 16520 in the 

issue of Friday, March 27, 2015, make 

the following corrections: 

1. On page 16529, in the second 

column, in the thirty-seventh line, 

through the third column, in the first 

line, remove the sentence, ‘‘As 

discussed, the current threshold is 

based on the receipt of covered funds, 

not its expenditure.’’ 

2. On the same page, in the third 

column, in the thirty-eighth line, at the 

end of the final line of the paragraph, 

add, ‘‘Further, HUD seeks comment on 

whether alternative thresholds (e.g., a 

threshold that applies Section 3 to all 

construction related projects if a grantee 

receives a certain amount of HUD 

funding, or a threshold that would only 

apply Section 3 to projects or activities 

that are receiving some minimum 

amount of housing and community 

development financial assistance) are 

more appropriate.’’ 

3. On the same page, in the first table, 

in the first column, in rows 1, 3 and 5, 

the word ‘‘agencies’’ should read 

‘‘recipients.’’

Discrimination on the Basis of Sex; 

Extension of Comment Period 

AGENCY: Office of Federal Contract 

Compliance Programs, Labor. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

and extension of the comment period. 

SUMMARY: On January 30, 2015, the 

Office of Federal Contract Compliance 

Programs (OFCCP) published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the 

Federal Register. The NPRM (80 FR 

5246) proposed regulations setting forth 

requirements that covered Federal 

Government contractors and 

subcontractors, and federally assisted 

construction contractors and 

subcontractors, must meet in fulfilling 

their obligations under Executive Order 

11246, as amended. This includes 

ensuring nondiscrimination in 

employment on the basis of sex and 

taking affirmative action to ensure that 

applicants are employed, and that 

employees are treated during 

employment, without regard to their 

sex. 

This document extends the comment 

period for the proposed rule for 14 days. 

You do not need to resubmit your 

comment if you have already 

commented on the proposed rule. 

Should you choose to do so, you can 

submit additional or supplemental 

comments. OFCCP will consider all 

comments received from the date of 

publication of the proposed rule 

through the close of the extended 

comment period. 

DATES: The comment period for the 

NPRM published on January 30, 2015 

(80 FR 5246), and scheduled to close on 

March 31, 2015, is extended. Comments 

must be received on or before April 14, 

2015. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by RIN 1250–AA05, by any of 

the following methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: 

www.regulations.gov. Follow the 

instructions for submitting comments.

Policy and Program Development, 

Office of Federal Contract Compliance 

Programs, Room C–3325, 200 

Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, 

DC 20210. Telephone: (202) 693–0104. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 30, 2015, OFCCP published a 

proposed rule entitled ‘‘Discrimination 

on the Basis of Sex’’ (80 FR 5246). 

OFCCP was to receive comments on this 

NPRM on or before March 31, 2015. 

OFCCP, after considering a request to 

extend the comment period until after 

the Supreme Court issued an opinion in 

the then pending case of Young v. 

United Parcel Service 

(U.S. No. 12–1226), determined that it is 

appropriate to provide additional time 

to review the Court’s recent decision 

and its potential impact on the 

proposals in the NPRM. 

On March 25, 2015, the Supreme 

Court issued an opinion in Young v. 

United Parcel Service, 575ll 

U.S. ll (2015); 2015 WL 1310745 

(Mar. 25, 2015). The Young case 

addressed the issue of an employer’s 

duty to accommodate pregnant 

employees. OFCCP’s NPRM addresses 

the issue of discrimination based on 

pregnancy, childbirth, and related 

medical conditions, and the obligations 

of Federal contractors and 

subcontractors to provide workplace 

accommodations for these conditions. 

This issue was before the Court in 

Young. 

Extension of Comment Period 

OFCCP determined that the public 

could benefit from additional time to 

review the Court’s decision in Young. 

Therefore, OFCCP is extending the 

comment period for the NPRM until 

April 14, 2015. 

Signed in Washington, DC, this 27th day of 

March 2015. 

Debra A. Carr, 

Director, Division of Policy and Program 

Development, Office of Federal Contract 

Compliance Programs.
