Dear (Name of CEO):


The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP), has selected your company for a compliance check under Executive Order 11246, as amended and its implementing regulation found at 41 CFR § 60-1.20(a)(3). Compliance checks are one of several investigative procedures available to OFCCP for conducting compliance evaluations. Other investigative procedures include compliance reviews, off-site reviews of records, and focused reviews.


This compliance check will focus on whether your company maintains certain employment records in accordance with the requirements of 41 CFR § 60-1.12. The documents you provide will be used to determine whether you are in compliance with OFCCP’s recordkeeping requirements. This compliance check will cover records for all of your construction projects located in the (as appropriate insert either 1) the name(s) of Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area(s) (SMSA) or 2) the name(s) of Non-SMSA) which is comprised of the following county(s) and/or county equivalents: (insert all applicable county(s) and/or county equivalents) during the period of (insert date) through (insert date).1


Executive Order 11246 prohibits federal contractors and subcontractors from discriminating based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, and national origin. 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. Additionally, contractors must take affirmative action to ensure equal employment opportunity in their employment processes.


In order to facilitate the compliance check, please submit the information specified in the enclosed Itemized Listing as soon as possible, but no later than 30 calendar days from the date you receive this letter. Please submit the information specified in the enclosed Itemized Listing to (insert email address) or to the address listed on the letterhead of this letter as soon as possible, but no later than 30 calendar days from the date you receive this letter.2


Alternatively, you may make the records available for on-site review. If you opt to make the records available for on-site review, OFCCP will view them at your establishment to ensure they have been maintained as required by 41 CFR § 60-1.12. An OFCCP compliance officer will contact you within 5 business days of receipt of this letter to determine if the records will be provided on-site or off-site.3


Although our compliance check only consists of a brief review of records, please note that as a federal contractor or subcontrac­tor you are required to comply with all the regulations enforced by OFCCP. More information regarding your obligations as a federal contractor or subcontractor can be found on our website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.


You should be aware that OFCCP may initiate enforcement proceedings if you fail to provide the records requested in this letter. Should this occur, we will notify you in writing.


Finally, the public may seek disclosure of the information you provide during a compliance check. Under current law and regulations, OFCCP is required to comply with the Freedom of Information Act, the Trade Secrets Act, the Privacy Act, Executive Order 12600, and DOL’s FOIA regulations at 29 CFR § 70.26, all of which govern the disclosure of confidential commercial information.4



If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact XXXXXXXXXXX at XXXXXXXX.


Sincerely,




(Name of District Director)
