Government Contractors, Requirement To Report Summary 
Compensation Data on Employee Compensation

AGENCY: Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, Labor.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking and extension of comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On August 8, 2014, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance 
Programs (OFCCP) published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in 
the Federal Register. This NPRM proposes amending one of the 
implementing regulations for Executive Order 11246, Equal Employment 
Opportunity, which sets forth the reporting obligations of Federal 
contractors and subcontractors. This NPRM proposes amending the 
regulation by adding a requirement that certain Federal contractors and 
subcontractors supplement their Employer Information Report (EEO-1 
Report) with summary information on compensation paid to employees, as 
contained in the Form W-2 Wage and Tax Statement (W-2) forms, by sex, 
race, ethnicity, and specified job categories, as well as other 
relevant data points such as hours worked, and the number of employees.
    This document extends the comment period for the proposed rule for 
sixty (60) 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 August 8, 2014,

[[Page 65614]]

scheduled to close on November 6, 2014, is extended until January 5, 
2015.

of the following methods:

the instructions for submitting comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 8, 2014, OFCCP published a 
proposed rule entitled ``Government Contractors, Requirement to Report 
Summary Compensation Data on Employee Compensation'' (79 FR 46562). 
OFCCP was to receive comments on this NPRM on or before November 6, 
2014.
    OFCCP, after considering a request to extend the comment period by 
an additional ninety (90) days, determined that it is appropriate to 
provide an additional 60-day period for comment on the proposed 
regulation.
    OFCCP is aware that multiple associations and organizations are 
conducting surveys of their membership to gather information relevant 
to the proposals and analysis in the NPRM. These surveys, in some 
instances, may not be concluded and their results tabulated during the 
initial 90-day comment period. In addition, the NPRM contained numerous 
references to reports, studies, articles or books, all of which are 
publically available. One of these references, though available, may be 
more difficult to obtain than the others. Therefore, upon request, 
OFCCP will make the NPRM references available for review during normal 
business hours at the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, 
Room C-3325, 200 Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20210. To 
schedule an appointment to review the references, please contact OFCCP 
at the telephone numbers listed above.

Extension of Comment Period

    OFCCP determined that the public would benefit from additional time 
to review the potential impact of the proposed requirements. Therefore, 
to allow the public sufficient time to review and comment on the NPRM, 
OFCCP is extending the comment period until January 5, 2015.

    Signed in Washington, DC, this 30th date of October 2014.
Patricia Shiu,
Director, Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs.
