BILLING CODE 4510–26–P 

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Notice of Final Determination To Add 

Cambodia Bricks to the List of 

Products Requiring Federal Contractor 

Certification as to Forced or 

Indentured Child Labor Pursuant to 

Executive Order 13126 

AGENCY: Bureau of International Labor 

Affairs, Department of Labor. 

ACTION: Notice of final determination. 

SUMMARY: This notice is a final 

determination to revise the list required 

by Executive Order No. 13126 

(‘‘Prohibition of Acquisition of Products 

Produced by Forced or Indentured Child 

Labor’’, hereafter the E.O. List). The E.O. 

List identifies a list of products, by their 

country of origin, that the Department of 

Labor (DOL), in consultation and 

cooperation with the Department of 

State (DOS) and the Department of 

Homeland Security (DHS) (collectively, 

the Departments), has a reasonable basis 

to believe might have been mined, 

produced, or manufactured by forced or 

indentured child labor. The 

Departments proposed adding bricks 

from Cambodia to the E.O. List in a 

Notice of Initial Determination that was 

published in the Federal Register on 

October 2, 2020. After a thorough 

review of the comments received and 

information available, the Departments 

have determined that the use of forced 

child labor in brick kilns in Cambodia 

has been occurring in more than 

isolated incidents. As a result, this 

product meets the criteria for inclusion 

in the E.O. List. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This final 

determination is the sixth revision of 

the E.O. List required by E.O. 13126 in 

accordance with DOL’s Procedural 

Guidelines for the Maintenance of the 

List of Products Requiring Federal 

Contractor Certification as to Forced or 

Indentured Child Labor (Procedural 

Guidelines). 

I. Initial Determination 

On October 2, 2020, DOL, in 

consultation and cooperation with DOS 

and DHS, published a Notice of Initial 

Determination in the Federal Register 

proposing to add bricks from Cambodia 

to the E.O. List.1 The initial 

determination stated the Departments 

had preliminarily determined that there 

was a reasonable basis to believe that 

bricks from Cambodia might have been 

mined, produced, or manufactured by 

forced or indentured child labor. Public 

comments remained open until 

December 1, 2020 on whether bricks 

from Cambodia should be added to the 

E.O. List, as well as any other issues 

related to the fair and effective 

implementation of E.O. 13126. The 

initial determination, and the public 

comments submitted, can be viewed at 

Docket ID No. DOL–2020–0008 or 

requested from Nadia Al-Dayel at: Office 

of Child Labor, Forced Labor, and 

Human Trafficking (OCFT), Bureau of 

International Labor Affairs, Room S– 

5317, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 

Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, 

DC 20210; telephone: (202) 693–4896,

impairments may access the telephone 

number above via TTY by calling the 

Federal Information Relay Service at 1– 

877–889–5627. 

II. Public Comment Period 

During the public comment period, 

two comments were submitted. One 

comment received was an electronic 

message; however, the Department of 

Labor determined that the content of the 

comment was not applicable to the 

Notice of Initial Determination. The 

other comment received was a letter 

from the Minister of Labour and 

Vocational Training, on behalf of the 

Government of Cambodia. This 

comment is available for public viewing 

at http://www.regulations.gov (reference 

Docket ID No. DOL–2020–0008).

13 Department of Labor. List of Products Produced 

by Forced or Indentured Child Labor. https://

www.dol.gov/agencies/ilab/reports/child-labor/listof-products. 

In its letter, the Government of 

Cambodia discussed the efforts it has 

made in combating the worst forms of 

child labor by addressing some of the 

gaps that were identified in the 

Cambodia profile in the 2019 Findings 

on the Words Forms of Child Labor 

report.2

III. Analysis of Comment Submitted 

After the public comment period 

closed on December 1, 2020, the 

Departments carefully reviewed and 

considered the public comments 

received.3 In so doing, the Departments 

considered and weighed the factors 

identified in the Procedural Guidelines: 

The source of the information 

presented, the date of the information, 

the extent of corroboration of the 

information, whether the information 

involved more than an isolated incident, 

and whether recent and credible efforts 

are being made to address forced or 

indentured child labor in the country 

and industry.4

The Government of Cambodia cited 

its efforts to address child labor, forced 

labor, and debt bondage at brick kilns by 

conducting a census of all 486 

operational brick kilns in the country in 

2019. The government stated that no 

child labor, forced labor, or debt 

bondage were found at any of these 

brick kilns, and they were working with 

local authorities to create accessible 

education for marginalized children 

found to be living in and around the 

brick kilns to stop them from dropping 

out of school. The Government of 

Cambodia’s submission also reiterated 

that judges in Cambodia have a clear 

mandate to prosecute child labor crimes 

and issue fines, and that they will 

continue to investigate and prosecute all 

perpetrators of child labor violations. 

IV. Final Determination 

The Departments have carefully 

reviewed and analyzed the comment 

submitted in considering whether to 

add bricks from Cambodia to the E.O. 

List. In addition, the Departments have 

continued to monitor the production of 

bricks since the issuance of the Initial 

Determination and will continue to 

monitor future brick production in the 

course of maintaining the E.O. List. The 

letter submitted from the Government of 

Cambodia failed to provide sufficient 

evidence to persuade the Departments 

to not include bricks on the E.O. List. 

The Government of Cambodia indicated 

in its letter that there were zero 

instances of child labor across 486 brick 

kilns. However, this information is 

inconsistent with the findings from an 

independent survey of the Cambodia 

brick industry. The independent survey 

found that child labor was occurring in 

brick kilns in more than isolated 

instances. Field research, including 

interviews with workers at brick kilns, 

also revealed that child labor occurred 

at brick kilns. The Departments 

conclude that based on available 

information, there is a reasonable basis 

to believe that bricks in Cambodia have 

been produced with the use of forced or 

indentured child labor in more than 

isolated incidents. 

V. Background 

E.O. 13126 was signed on June 12, 

1999 and published in the Federal 

Register on June 16, 1999 (64 FR 32383). 

E.O. 13126 declared that it was ‘‘the 

policy of the United States Government 

. . . that executive agencies shall take 

appropriate actions to enforce the laws 

prohibiting the manufacture or 

importation of goods, wares, articles, 

and merchandise mined, produced, or 

manufactured wholly or in part by 

forced or indentured child labor.’’ 5 The 

E.O. defines ‘‘forced or indentured child 

labor’’ as: 

[A]ll work or service (1) exacted from 

any person under the age of 18 under 

the menace of any penalty for its 

nonperformance and for which the 

worker does not offer himself 

voluntarily; or (2) performed by any 

person under the age of 18 pursuant to 

a contract the enforcement of which can 

be accomplished by process or 

penalties. 

Pursuant to E.O. 13126, and following 

public notice and comment, DOL 

published in the January 18, 2001 

Federal Register the first E.O. List of 

products, along with their respective 

countries of origin, that DOL, in 

consultation and cooperation with the 

Department of State and the Department 

of the Treasury (relevant responsibilities 

now within DHS), had a reasonable 

basis to believe might have been mined, 

produced or manufactured by forced or 

indentured child labor.6

The Department also published the 

Procedural Guidelines on January 18, 

2001, which provide procedures for the 

maintenance, review, and, as 

appropriate, revision of the E.O. List.7

The Procedural Guidelines provide that 

the E.O. List may be revised through 

consideration of submissions by 

individuals and on the Department’s 

own initiative. When proposing a 

revision to the E.O. List, DOL must 

publish a notice of initial determination 

in the Federal Register, which includes 

any proposed alteration to the E.O. List. 

The Departments will consider all 

public comments prior to the 

publication of a final determination of a 

revised E.O. List. The E.O. List was 

subsequently revised on July 20, 2010; 8

on May 31, 2011; 9 on April 3, 2012; 10

July 23, 2013; 11 and on March 25, 

2019.12 The most recent E.O. List, 

finalized on March 25, 2019, includes 

34 products from 25 countries.13

Under a final rule by the Federal 

Acquisition Regulatory Council, which 

also implements E.O. 13126, federal 

contractors who supply products that 

appear on the E.O. List are required to 

certify, among other things, that they 

have made a good faith effort to 

determine whether forced or indentured 

child labor was used to mine, produce, 

or manufacture any product furnished 

under the contract and that, on the basis 

of those efforts, the contractor is 

unaware of any such use of child labor. 

See 48 CFR subpart 22.15.

Guidelines can be accessed at https://
