The Veterans' Annual Report from
Contractors and subcontractors required by U.S.C. 4212(d), from
entities with contracts of $25,000 or more entered into before
12/1/2003, with Federal departments or agencies, to report the
number of special disabled, Vietnam-era, and other eligible
veterans in the workforce by job category and hiring locations,
number of employees hired and of those, the number of special
disabled, Vietnam-era and other eligible veterans. The final rule
would create 41 CFR part 61-300 to implement certain provisions of
the Job for Veterans Act ("JVA") (Pub.L.107-288) which amends the
Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974. The
VETS-100A Report would apply to any contractor or subcontractor who
enters into or modifies a contract or subcontract on or after
December 1, 2003, in the amount of $100,000 or more with any
department or agency of the United States for the procurement of
personal property and non-personal services (including
construction). Any contractor or subcontractor whose only contract
was entered into before December 1, 2003, (and not modified on or
after that date), would continue to follow the regulation in CFR
part 61-250, which calls for contractors to use the currently
approved VETS-100 Report to provide information about their
employment of veterans. Any contractor or subcontractor who has
both a contract subject to 41 CFR part 61-250 and a contract
subject to the proposed 41 CFR part 61-300 would be required to
fill both the VETS-100 Report and the proposed VETS-100A
Report.
