We previously outlined how the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) was ramping up enforcement for covered federal contractors and giving heightened scrutiny to issues involving disabled individuals. See our Legal Alert dated March 25, 2010, “OFCCP Update,” available on our web site at: http://www.fordharrison.com/shownews.aspx?show=5950. On July 23, 2010, consistent with this renewed emphasis on the disabled, the OFCCP issued an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, (ANPRM) available at: http://www.regulations.gov/search/Regs/home.html#documentDetail?R=0900006480b1fd5a, soliciting public input on how to ensure equal employment opportunity for people with disabilities by strengthening the affirmative action requirements of the regulations implementing Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 503).
