SUMMARY: On April 26, 2011, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance
Programs (OFCCP) published a Federal Register notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM). This NPRM proposes revising regulations implementing
the affirmative action provisions of the Vietnam Era Veterans'
Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended. This document extends
the comment period for the proposed rule for fourteen (14) days. If you
have already commented on the proposed rule you do not need to resubmit
your comment. OFCCP will consider all comments received from the date
of publication of the proposed rule through the close of the extended
comment period.
DATES: The comment period for the NPRM published on April 26, 2011 (76
FR 23358), scheduled to close on June 27, 2011, is extended until July
11, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 26, 2011, OFCCP published a
proposed rule entitled ``Affirmative Action and Nondiscrimination
Obligations of Contractors and Subcontractors Regarding Protected
Veterans'' (76 FR 23358). OFCCP was to receive comments on this NPRM on
or before June 27, 2011.
Various organizations submitted requests to extend the comment
period by an additional sixty (60) days or more. We considered these
requests and determined that it is appropriate to provide an additional
14-day period for comment on the proposed regulation. We are,
therefore, extending the comment period until Monday, July 11, 2011.
Extension of Comment Period
OFCCP determined that the public could use additional time to
review the potential impact of the proposed requirements. Therefore, to
allow the public sufficient time to review and comment on the NPRM,
OFCCP is extending the comment period until July 11, 2011.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 17th day of June 2011.
Patricia Shiu,
Director, Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs.
