Title: Affirmative Action and Nondiscrimination Obligations of Contractors and Subcontractors for Special Disabled Veterans and Veterans of the Vietnam Era 
Abstract: The regulation is a final rule that revises the current regulations implementing the nondiscrimination and affirmative action provisions of the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974 (VEVRAA), as amended. VEVRAA requires Government contractors and subcontractors to take affirmative action to employ and advance in employment qualified special disabled veterans and veterans of the Vietnam era. Today’s rule makes three general types of revisions to the VEVRAA regulations. First, it generally conforms the VEVRAA regulations to the Veterans Employment Opportunities Act of 1998 and the Veterans Benefits and Health Care Improvement Act of 2000. Secondly, it removes language about the effective date of the rule published in 1998 because the language is obsolete, and regulations no longer contain an “effective date” paragraph. The Department of Labor has determined that this rulemaking need not be published as a proposed rule, as generally required by the Administrative Procedures Act, 5 U.S.C. 553, because the revisions in the rule are either nondiscretionary ministerial actions that merely incorporate, without change, statutory amendments into the preexisting regulations or are rules of agency procedures or practice.
