federal contractors and subcontractors
and require that they provide equal
employment opportunities regardless of
race, color, religion, sex, sexual
orientation, gender identity, national
origin, disability, or status as a protected
veteran. Additionally, federal
contractors and subcontractors are
prohibited from discriminating against
applicants and employees for inquiring
about, discussing, or disclosing
information about their pay or the pay
of their co-workers, subject to certain
limitations. E.O. 11246’s basic coverage
applies to federal contractors and
subcontractors and to federally assisted
construction contractors holding a
government contract in excess of
$10,000, or government contracts that
have, or can reasonably be expected to
have, an aggregate total value exceeding
$10,000 in a 12-month period. E.O.
11246 also applies to government bills
of lading, depositories of federal funds
in any amount, and to financial
institutions that are issuing and paying
agents for U.S. Savings Bonds. E.O.
11246’s Affirmative Action Program
(AAP) requirements apply to federal
contractors and subcontractors with 50
or more employees and a contract of
$50,000 or more. Section 503 prohibits
employment discrimination against
applicants and employees because of
physical or mental disability and
requires affirmative action to ensure that
persons are treated without regard to
disability. Section 503 applies to federal
contractors and subcontractors with
contracts in excess of $15,000, and its
AAP coverage applies to federal
contractors and subcontractors with 50
or more employees and a contract of
$50,000 or more. VEVRAA prohibits
employment discrimination against
protected veterans and requires
affirmative action to ensure that persons
are treated without regard to their status
as a protected veteran. VEVRAA applies
to federal contractors and
subcontractors with contracts of
$150,000 or more, and its AAP coverage
applies to federal contractors and
subcontractors with 50 or more
employees and a contract of $150,000 or
more. For additional substantive
information about this ICR, see the
related notice published in the Federal
Register on September 14, 2020 (85 FR

to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
