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.
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.
