Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) has published a final rule formally codifying two notices used by the Agency to resolve potential findings of discrimination: the Predetermination Notice (PDN) and the Notice of Violation.  The Rule is the final version of the proposed rule published at then end of last year.

OFCCP stated in its press release that it believes

[t]he final rule will help OFCCP continue increasing the number of contractors that the agency evaluates and focus on resolving stronger cases of potential discrimination through the strategic allocation of limited agency resources.

We are in the process of digesting the rules and will be providing insights and details in the coming days.
