On August 19, OFCCP published a Notice in the Federal Register alerting federal contractors that it received a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request from the Center for Investigative Reporting (CIR) seeking all federal prime contractors’ and first-tier subcontractors’ EEO-1 Type 2 Consolidated Reports for the period 2016-2020. On February 2, 2023, OFCCP released a list of contractors whose EEO-1 reports will be released unless they submit written objections no later than 11:59 p.m. EST on February 7, 2023. The two objections that OFCCP will entertain at this time are (a) the contractor was not a federal contractor during the relevant time period; or (b) the contractor previously submitted an objection to the disclosure of its EEO-1 data. The list of contractors, whose EEO-1 Reports will be released is available at the following link. Submit objections to OFCCP-FOIA-EEO1-Questions@dol.gov.
