4.	BACKGROUND: Executive Order 13496 (E.O. 13496 or Order) was signed by President Obama on January 30, 2009. 74 FR 6407 (February 4, 2009). The Order requires that notice of employee rights under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), 29 U.S.C. 151 et seq., be provided to employees of federal contractors and subcontractors, and in Federal contracts, subcontracts and purchase orders. Executive Order 13496 revokes Executive Order 13201, commonly referred to as the “Beck Order.” Final regulations implementing Executive Order 13496 were published in the Federal Register at 75 FR 28368 (May 20, 2010), and will be located in the Code of Federal Regulations at 29 C.F.R. Part 471. The regulations are also available online at http://www.dol.gov/olms/regs/compliance/EO13496.htm. Effective June 21, 2010, the regulations require Federal departments and agencies to include in their contracts specific provisions requiring contractors, and the subcontractors with whom they do business, to post work place notices informing their employees of their organizing and collective bargaining rights under the NLRA. The text of the required employee notice is provided in Appendix A to the regulations. OFCCP shares responsibility with the Office of Labor-Management Standards (OLMS), the primary enforcement agency, for ensuring contractor compliance with E.O. 13496 and Part 471. OFCCP’s role is to physically inspect contractor establishments (both supply and service, and construction) where NLRA-covered employees engage in activities relating to performance of the contract, including plants, offices, and work sites, and/or to examine contracts for compliance with the Order’s posting and contract clause requirements. OFCCP will also investigate a contractor’s compliance with E.O. 13496 in response to a written complaint of the contractor’s noncompliance with the Order. 5.	POLICY: This directive transmits procedures for conducting Executive Order 13496 compliance verifications. Such verifications will be conducted by OFCCP compliance officers (COs) as part of the onsite phase of compliance evaluations (including, as appropriate, as part of focused reviews) conducted under Executive Order 11246, Section 503, or VEVRAA. To meet its responsibilities under the Order and facilitate coordination with OLMS, OFCCP has established procedures for conducting compliance verifications, conciliating compliance problems, and reporting its findings to OLMS. Section A of this directive provides details about the posting and contract clause requirements for non-exempt federal contractors. The directive also provides OFCCP procedures for conducting compliance verifications (Section B), for investigating complaints of contractor noncompliance (Section C), and for providing compliance assistance (Section D). OLMS is responsible for taking any necessary administrative enforcement action and/or imposing any penalties and remedies for noncompliance with E.O. 13496. A.	Executive Order 13496 Requirements 1.
