PART 60-4--CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTORS--AFFIRMATIVE ACTION REQUIREMENTS--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 60-4.4  Affirmative action requirements.

    (a) To implement the affirmative action requirements of Executive 
Order 11246 in the construction industry, the Office of Federal Contract 
Compliance Programs previously has approved affirmative action programs 
commonly referred to as ``Hometown Plans,'' has promulgated affirmative 
action plans referred to as ``Imposed Plans'' and has approved ``Special 
Bid Conditions'' for high impact projects constructed in areas not 
covered by a Hometown or an Imposed Plan. All solicitations for 
construction contracts made after the effective date of the regulations 
in this part shall include the notice specified in Sec. 60-4.2 of this 
part and the specifications in Sec. 60-4.3 of this part in lieu of the 
Hometown and Imposed Plans including the Philadelphia Plan and Special 
Bid Conditions. Until the Director has issued an order pursuant to 
Sec. 60-4.6 of this part establishing goals and timetables for 
minorities in the appropriate geographical areas or for a project 
covered by Special Bid Conditions, the goals and timetables for 
minorities to be inserted in the Notice required by 41 CFR 60-4.2 shall 
be the goals and timetables contained in the Hometown Plan, Imposed Plan 
or Special Bid Conditions presently covering the respective geographical 
area or project involved.
    (b) Signatories to a Hometown Plan (including heavy highway 
affirmative action plans) shall have 45 days from the effective date of 
the regulations in this part to submit under such a Plan (for the 
director's approval) goals and timetables for women and to include 
female representation on the Hometown Plan Administrative Committee.

[[Page 151]]

Such goals for female representation shall be at least as high as the 
goals established for female representation in the notice issued 
pursuant to 41 CFR 60-4.6. Failure of the signatories, within the 45-day 
period, to include female representation and to submit goals for women 
or a new plan, as appropriate, shall result in an automatic termination 
of the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Program's approval of the 
Hometown Plan. At any time the Office of Federal Contract Compliance 
Programs terminates or withdraws its approval of a Hometown Plan, or 
when the plan expires and another plan is not approved, the contractors 
signatory to the plan shall be covered automatically by the 
specifications set forth in Sec. 60-4.3 of this part and by the goals 
and timetables established for that geographical area pursuant to 
Sec. 60-4.6 of this part.
