The US Department of Labor's (DOL) Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) issued a bulletin on March 13, 2015, inviting comment on OFCCP rules and regulations.

The DOL's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) issued a bulletin on March 13, 2015, inviting public comment on OFCCP rules and regulations. Entities covered or affected by OFCCP rules (referred to in the bulletin as "stakeholders") have until April 1, 2015 (extended from the original deadline of March 18, 2015), to offer ideas and suggestions about which OFCCP rules should be reviewed, expanded or modified, and which OFCCP regulations and reporting requirements should be reviewed for conflicts, inconsistencies and duplications. The OFCCP also requests ideas about possible regulatory reforms that might lead to long-term cost savings (even if that involves short-term cost increases) for regulated entities through the use of new technologies. The OFCCP created a website, Shaping Smarter Regulations, where stakeholders should submit their comments.
The OFCCP's bulletin does not specify how the agency will handle the comments or a timetable for implementing amended rules and regulations.
