This is a request for a revision to
the Supply and Service ICR, including revisions to the Scheduling
Letter. The OFCCP Scheduling Letter is used to schedule Federal
contractors and subcontractors for Compliance Evaluations in
accordance with Executive Order 11246, as amended; Section 503 of
the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended; and the Vietnam Era
Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended, 38
U.S.C. 4212. These mandates prohibit Federal contractors and
subcontractors from discriminating on the basis of race, color,
religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national
origin, disability, or protected veterans status. It also prohibits
these employers from taking adverse employment actions against
applicants and employees for asking about, discussing, or sharing
information about their pay or, in certain circumstances, the pay
of their co-workers.
