President Barack Obama signed
Executive Order 13496 (E.O. 13496) on January 30, 2009, requiring
certain Government contractors and subcontractors to post notices
informing their employees of their rights as employees under
Federal labor laws. Regulations 29 CFR § 471.11 provides for the
Department's acceptance of written complaints alleging that a
contractor doing business with the Federal government has failed to
post the notice required by E.O. 13496. The section establishes
that no special complaint form is required, but that complaints
must be in writing. In addition, written complaints must contain
certain information, including the name, address and telephone
number of the person submitting the complaint, and the name and
address of the Federal contractor alleged to have violated this
rule. This section also establishes that written complaints may be
submitted either to OFCCP or OLMS.

There has been a decrease of 15
respondents, as the Department has lowered its estimate of employee
complaints from 10, as a result of its enforcement experience in
which it has received just two employee complaints.

with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).

covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;

benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
