{"abstract":"DoD, GSA, and NASA are proposing to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to implement the Executive Order \"Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces\", which is designed to improve contractor compliance with labor laws and increase efficiency and cost savings in Federal contracting. The Executive Order (E.O.) requires that prospective and existing contractors disclose certain labor violations and that contracting officers, in consultation with labor compliance advisors, consider the disclosures, including any mitigating circumstances, as part of their decision to award or extend a contract. The E.O. directs agencies to include clauses in their contracts that require similar disclosures by certain subcontractors so their prime contractors can also consider labor violations when determining the responsibility of subcontractors. The E.O. further requires that processes be established to assist contractors and subcontractors to come into compliance with labor laws. To achieve paycheck transparency for workers, the E.O. requires contractors and subcontractors to provide individuals with information each pay period regarding how they are paid and to provide notice to those workers whom they treat as independent contractors. The E.O. also addresses arbitration of employee claims. This proposed rule, and proposed Guidance being issued simultaneously by the Department of Labor (DOL), are intended to implement the E.O.'s requirements.","action":"Proposed rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE","name":"Defense Department","id":103,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/defense-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/103","parent_id":null,"slug":"defense-department"},{"raw_name":"GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION","name":"General Services Administration","id":210,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/general-services-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/210","parent_id":null,"slug":"general-services-administration"},{"raw_name":"NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION","name":"National Aeronautics and Space Administration","id":301,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/national-aeronautics-and-space-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/301","parent_id":null,"slug":"national-aeronautics-and-space-administration"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2015/05/28/2015-12560.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":1,"title":48},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":4,"title":48},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":9,"title":48},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":17,"title":48},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":22,"title":48},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":52,"title":48}],"citation":"80 FR 30548","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2015-07-27","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Interested parties should submit written comments to the Regulatory Secretariat at one of the addresses shown below on or before July 27, 2015 to be considered in the formation of the final rule.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["FAR Case 2014-025","Docket No. 2014-0025","Sequence No. 1"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2015-12560","effective_on":null,"end_page":30572,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2015/05/28/2015-12560.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2015/05/28/2015-12560/federal-acquisition-regulation-fair-pay-and-safe-workplaces","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2015-12560?publication_date=2015-05-28","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2015-05-28/2015-12560/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":25,"page_views":{"count":7157,"last_updated":"2026-10-23 20:15:05 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2015-05-28/pdf/2015-12560.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2015-12560.pdf?1432730719","publication_date":"2015-05-28","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2015/05/28/2015-12560.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"9000-AM81":{"issue":"201604","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/9000-AM81/federal-acquisition-regulation-far-far-case-2014-025-fair-pay-and-safe-workplaces","title":"Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR);
