OFCCP Orders Full Compliance Reviews for Every 50th Contractor

On September 17, 2008, OFCCP Deputy Assistant Secretary Charles James issued a directive on the Active Case Management System. In his directive, he announces that as a "Quality Control" measure, "to ensure that contractors are developing and implementing AAPs and that they are maintaining the required supporting data, a full desk audit of the materials submitted is to be conducted on every 25th contractor listed in the Federal Data Selection System (FCSS), even in the absence of systemic discrimination indicators. In addition, a full compliance review -- including an onsite review -- is to be conducted on every 50th contractor listed in the FCSS, even in the absence of systemic discrimination indicators."

Included in the desk audit and full review will be an assessment of compliance with Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Vietnam Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA) along with Executive Order 13201.
