Recordkeeping continues for federal contractors
The Department of Labor is seeking OMB renewal (OMB Control No. 1250-0004) to continue collecting recordkeeping information under the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA). This collection applies to contractor establishments and is estimated to affect 89,978 contractor establishments with an average burden of 48.18 hours per establishment, for a total of 4,334,822 annual burden hours and $356,313 in annual other costs. Public comments are due by March 9, 2026.
VEVRAA nondiscrimination and affirmative action remains
Under VEVRAA, businesses with a federal contract of $200,000 or more must not discriminate against qualified protected veterans and must take affirmative action to employ and advance them. The OFCCP is renewing the information collection that supports enforcement of those obligations; the current OMB approval expires on April 30, 2026.
