The new scheduling list includes about 2,500 facilities that have either self-identified as an establishment of a Federal contractor or have been identified as one by the OFCCP. The OFCCP has mailed a Corporate Scheduling Announcement Letter (CSAL) to the CEO (or designated point of contract) of each parent company with more than one establishment listed for evaluation this year. 

Excluded from the list are establishments based on a variety of factors, including those that are currently undergoing a compliance evaluation, were evaluated within the last 24 months, or have received the Secretary of Labor’s Opportunity Award for Exemplary Voluntary Efforts Award within the last three years.  Also, Federal contractor establishments covered by Functional Affirmative Action Program (FAAP) agreements were excluded and will be selected for evaluation through a separate process. 

The OFCCP points out that not all establishments identified in the attachment to the CSAL may be scheduled for an evaluation.  It is also possible that establishments not identified in the CSAL may be evaluated by the OFCCP.

Additionally, contractors with multiple establishments will be limited to 25 new evaluations during a fiscal year.  However, compliance evaluations scheduled as a result of contract award notices, directed reviews, conciliation agreement monitoring, or credible reports of an alleged violation of law or regulation are not counted towards this limit.   

The OFCCP's announcment may be found here.
