           TITLE 41--PUBLIC CONTRACTS AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
 
                           DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
 
PART 60-250_AFFIRMATIVE ACTION AND NONDISCRIMINATION OBLIGATIONS OF 
 
         Subpart D_General Enforcement and Complaint Procedures
 
Sec. 60-250.62  Conciliation agreements and letters of commitment.

    (a) If a compliance evaluation, complaint investigation or other 
review by OFCCP finds a material violation of the Act or this part, and 
if the contractor is willing to correct the violations and/or 
deficiencies, and if OFCCP determines that settlement on that basis 
(rather than referral for consideration of formal enforcement) is 
appropriate, a written conciliation agreement shall be required. The 
agreement shall provide for such remedial action as may be necessary to 
correct the violations and/or deficiencies noted, including, where 
appropriate (but not necessarily limited to) such make whole remedies as 
back pay and retroactive seniority. The agreement shall also specify the 
time period for completion of the remedial action; the period shall be 
no longer than the minimum period necessary to complete the action.
    (b) The term ``conciliation agreement'' does not include ``letters 
of commitment'', which are appropriate for resolving minor technical 
deficiencies.

    Effective Date Note: At 70 FR 36265, June 22, 2005, Sec. 60-250.62 
was amended by removing paragraph (b) and paragraph (a) designation, and 
by revising the section heading and the first sentence of former 
paragraph (a), effective July 22, 2005. For the convenience of the user, 
the revised text is set forth as follows:

by OFCCP finds a material violation of the Act or this part, and if the
