1250-AA17 202510 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 1250 Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs OFCCP 1200 Department of Labor DOL Rescission of Executive Order 11246 Implementing Regulations

On January 21, 2025, President Trump issued Executive Order 14173, Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity, which revoked Executive Order 11246, Equal Employment Opportunity. Accordingly, the United States Department of Labor is rescinding its regulations implementing Executive Order 11246 found at 41 CFR part 60-1 et seq.

]]> Economically Significant Previously Published in The Unified Agenda Final Rule Stage Yes No Deregulatory 41 CFR 60-1 41 CFR 60-2 41 CFR 60-3 41 CFR 60-4 41 CFR 60-20 41 CFR 60-30 41 CFR 60-40 41 CFR 60-50 41 CFR 60-999 E.O. 14173 Yes

The rule will rescind the implementing regulations for E.O. 11246, which was revoked by E.O. 14173 on January 21, 2025. The rule will also address legal vulnerabilities related to the regulation’s affirmative action requirements, improve the efficiency of the federal contracting process, decrease employer burden, and provide regulatory certainty to Federal contractors and other stakeholders by aligning the regulations with recent executive orders impacting DOL’s enforcement.

In the NPRM we estimated 10-year cost savings of $6,998,112,173 at a 7% discount rate. However, my understanding is ASP may add in additional cost savings in the final rule so this is still under development.  Benefits include potential cost savings for covered contractors, removing unnecessary regulatory burdens,  and reducing confusion about contractors' current regulatory obligations.
