SUMMARY or COMMENTS •
1 1. Other comments, primarily from
contractors, expressed the view that '
the Department of Labor should with•
hold its decision on final regulations .
until the U.S. Supreme Court has ren-
dered its decbion in The ncycnts of the

the Supreme Court's decision in

2. The obligation of federally in-
volved construction contractors to
take affirmative action to ensure crual •
employment opportunity, particuvrly
for women G•as a major isve Lre:ted
almost all the continents. 1n Gener-
al. those comments received from con-
tractors, contractor associations and
unions. while recognizing that the in-
dustry's legal obligation to t:.te :soffit--
. motive action. expressed concern
about the nature of the required ac-
tions. These co:r.rcents characterize
the goal levels es quota :and state. that
the goals would require contractors to
hire unqualified porn: ✓. that ::aii-
fied women craft a•or::ers area tic:.

ordz:eeping requtromenea placed :n
additional cost burden on cunt--.etnr:
which would be difficult for smell con-
tractors to: l•_.crb.

levels were too lox and achievement of
them would conatltute no real im-
provement of .the position of women

11. Hometown plans and voluntary
efforts to advance equal employment

about 25 comments. The construction

sibility that the proposal would have a

US the contractors' cotnrnitment to the
affirmative action requirements. How•
ever, the certification has been held to
be a material part of the bid and those
bids Which have not contained a
signed certification have been rejected
as nonresponsive. A number of these
rejected bids have been the low bids,
and the result has been to increase the
cost of construction to the Govern-
tnent.
• • Another deficiency in the present
scheme is"that no specific affirmative
action standards are applicable to
women in the construction industry.
Under present procedures, compli-
ance agencies develop Special Bid Con-
ditions for high impact protects for

The new Part 60-4 applies to all Fed-

DIscussion
Section 60-4.1. This section estab-
lishes the scope and application of
Part 60-4. By the terms of this section.
Part 60-4 applies to ail contractors
and subcontractors who have a Feder-
al or federally assisted construction
contract or subcontract in excess of
$10,000.
1. Contractors opposed the extension
of coverage to contracts in excess of
$10,000 (see item 5 in the Summary
Conunents). The Department of
Labor's view Is that it is appropriate to
extend coverage to those contracts to
excess of S10.000. This view is based on
the point that contracts in excess of
$10,000 represents a substantial expen-
diture of Federal dollars.
It also represents the level at which
regulations impiernenttng the Execu-
tive Order establish coverage for non-
construction- contractors (see 41 CFR
60-1.5(a)). Prior to the regulations
published today, coverage was based
on the value of the construction pro-
ject and any contractor working on a
project whose value was 1500,000 or
more was covered regardless of the
value of the contract held by an indi-
vidual contractor or subcontractor. We
believe, however, that coverage is
based more appropriately on the
amount of the contract held by the in-
dividual contractor and this position Ls
consistent with coverage of noncon•
struction contracts. We also believe
that the in excess of $10,000 volume is
reasonable and promotes uniformity
among contractors by treating con-
struction contractors and nonconstruc-
tion contractors equally (see 41 CFR
60-1.5(a)). •
2. This section 'also codifies an
OFCCP policy of covering construc-
tion Week peefotfned by construction
contPaetofrs for ribhconstettctlon con-
tractors which is hecessaty in whole or
1n part to the petfottnance of a non.
construction contract In excess of
$10,000. Although this provision was
not contained in the August 16, 1977,
proposal, It does not establish new re-
quirements. Rather publication in
these regulations simply codifies an
existing policy and practice.
Section 60-4.2. This section creates a
new notice to be included in all solici-
tations for offers and bids on all Fed-
eral and federally assisted construc-
tion contracts and subcontracts.
1. The notice is required to be In-
cluded in the solicitation for Federal
or federally assisted construction con-
tracts in excess of $10,000.
2. Nonconstructfon contractors who
contract with construction contractors
for construction work which is n'2ce,.-
sary In whole or In part to the perfor-
mance of a covered nonconatruction
contractor must also include the
notice in such contracts.
3. The notice will be included in all
bid documents to put the contractor
on notice that the prospective contract
(in excess of $10.000) is subject to the
Executive Order. The notice also in-
forms the bidder or offeror of the ap-
plicable goals and other requirements
to which any contract resulting from
the solicitation will be subject. Also.
the word "bidders" has been added to
the notice to accommodate those com-
pliance agencies whose contract ter-
minology does riot Include the 'word
"offeror." (See item 15 in the Sum-
mary of Comments.)
4. The notice also requires the suc-
cessful bidder to provide notice to the
appropriate compliance agency and
the OFCCP within 10 working days of
the award of a subcontract under the
contract. No specific notice form is re-
quired but the notice must be in writ-
. ing and It must contain the narne. ad•
dress, and telephone number of the
subcontractor, the dollar amount of
• the subcontract; and the geographical
area in which the contract is to be per-
formed.
Section 60-4.3. This section estab-
lishes the Standard Federal Equal Ern-
ployment Opportunity Construction
Contract Specifications. The specifica-
tions, in addition to the standard
equal opportunity clauses, wW be in-
cluded in all federal and federally as-
sisted construction contracts. The
specifications also will be included in
construction contracts let by noncon-
structlon contractors which are neces-
sary in whole or in part to the perlor-
rnance of a Federal nonconstruction
contract. The specifications and the
notice provided for in 4 60-4.2(d) are
designed to serve the same purposes
which the Bid Conditions now serve.
The specifications, however, establish
specific and minimum affirmative

1. Paragraph '7' and its subpata;'
graphs establish the affirmative action
obligatlons.•'Comments from'contr•ac-
tor groups objected to the antlharass-
ment •provision in paragraph' 'la.
During the time it has considered ex-
tending specific affirmative action cov-
erage to women in the construction in- •.
dustry, however, the Department of
Labor has learned of many egregious
examples of harassment of female
workers. The comments do not chal-
lenge the existence of such conduct. •
The need to discourage harassment,
intimidation and coercion .is.parttcu=
larly important in an industry such •
construction where the safety of work-
ers may depend on n fellow worker. '
The ccntractor is in the best position
to discourage such conduct and to
ensure fair treatment of all employees.
• Objections also were raised to the.
provision which states that where pos- •-
sible the contractor will assign two or,.
more women to each construction pro-
ject. •The Department is fully aware ~-
that the very nature of. construction .
work. such as the use of small work- •
forces in certain trades, would not
always accommodate the assignment .
of two or more women by a single con-- -
tractor. However. where large work -
forces are being employed it is reason•
able to assume that two . or • more
women would be assigned ,to a con-
struction project. Such a practice also
should help to eliminate harassment
and intimidation. Moreover. a contrac-
tor should not feel that is has met its
affirmative action obligation simply by
placing a token woman on the project
and at the same time should not
refuse to assign a woman to a project
because there are not iwo openings.
2. Contractor groups also expressed
objections to what they perceived as
recordkeeping requirements. In fact
no specific recordkeeping formats
have been established. It will be neces-
sary for contractors to maintain•docu-
inentation of some of the specific ac-
tions they have taken such as a list of
their minority and female recruitment
sources (see Specification subpara-
graph 7b) and the names. addresses
and telephone numbers of minority
and female off -the -street applicants
(7c). Such documentation is essential
in order for the contract compliance
program to be able to assess whether
the contractor Is taking the required
:cation. Moreover, it is fair to presume
that contractors already have in place
some recordkeeping system for these
types of activities and where adequate

L 3. Contractors also contended that
paragraph 4 and subparagraph 7d of
the Specifications would require them
to violate the exclusive referral provi-
stona of 'their collective bargaining
agreements. "" • .. • - . • • : •
- These argutnents are unpersuasive
and have been rejected in various
court decisions upholding the princl-
ple that a contractor's noncompliance
with its affirmative action obligations
cannot be justified by the contractor's
reliance on a collective bargaining
agreement, and that the contractor
must go outside of the terms of the
agreement If that is the only way to
maintain compliance with' the Execs-
tive . Order and the implementing
rules, regulations and orders. See Con-
tractors Assn. of Eastern Pa. v. Secre-

• It should be emphasized that the
Department's position . has not pre-
cluded and will not preclude enforce-
inent actions against labor organiza-
tions for impeding the nondiscrimina-
tion/affirmative action obligations of
federally -involved construction con-
tractors and subcontractors under
E.O. 11246. Such actions are specifical-
ly authorized under sections 209(a)(2)
and (3) of the Order. See, e.g., U.S. v.
Carpenters Local 169, 457 F. 2d 210
(7th Cir. 1972). cerL denied, 409 U.S.

enforcement efforts against labor or-
ganizations for interfering with the
nondiscrimination/affirmative action
obligations of federally -involved con-
struction contractors, paragraph 7d of
the specifications requires covered
contractors and subcontractors to pro-
vide immediate written notification to
the responsible compliance agency and
to OFCCP when the union or unions
with which the contractor has a collec-
tive bargaining agreement has not re-
ferred to the contractor a minority
person or woman sent by the contrac-
tor. or when the contractor has other
information that the union referral
process has impeded the contractor's
efforts to meet its obligations. •

4. Paragraph 9 of the Speclflcatlordi
has been rewHtten tdaddress the Ceti -
terns of the beputy Comptroller c3en•
etal of the [united States. The beputy
Comptroller General commented a9
follows: * ' •
This provtslon (paragraph 9) would • re-
quire, in effect, the renegotiation of goals
after the contract has been awarded Lather
than epebifylng separate goals and timeta-
bles which must be met by contractors In
categories determined to be employing "par•
ocular groups" in a "substantially disparate
manner.' •• • '
Paragraph 9 has been rewritten to
eliminate the requirement to establish
separate goals. However, the section
also makes it clear that the goals in-
clude all groups and that the contrac-
tor may not be in compliance if It has
achieved its goal levels generally but
employs certain groups in a substan-
tially disparate manner. The minority
goal, for example, Includes blacks,
American Indians, Hispanics, Asian
and Pacific Islanders. and a contractor
may not be in compliance if It meets
its goal by employing one group and
toiaily !snores another.
5. Paragraph 12 prohibits the con-
tractor from entering into contracts
with debarred contractors. Contrac-
tors were concerned about receiving
notice of debarred contractors and
whether the contracting prohibition
applied to nonfederal contracts as
well. The OFCCP maintains a list of
debarred contractors which may be se-
cured from that agency. In addition.
all debarments effected under Execu-
tive Order 11246 are published in the
FEDERAL Rsersrra. Finally. paragraph
12 Is not intended to cover contracts
awarded by a Federal contractor for
work to be performed on .a project
which is neither Federal nor federally
assisted.
6. Some comments suggested that
Federal EEO requiremerfs should pre-
empt state and local EEO require•
meets. Other comments suggested
that the more stringent standards.
whether Federal or state or local.
should apply. The Federal Govern-
ment. of course, may not pre-empt
state and local government regulation
of the construction industry (Associat-
ed General Contractors of Mass. v. Alt•
shuicr, 490 F. 2d 9 (1st cir. 19731). The
OFCCP has attempted to apply uni-
form standards to contractors and to
provide the greatest protection to the
greatest number of people under the
Executive Order.
Section 60-4.9 and 60-4.5. The major
change made in these two sections is
the proviso in *60-4.5 which requires
that each contractor participating in
the plan make a good faith effort to
achieve its goals and that the overall
good performance by other contrac-
tors does not excuse any contractor.
This change was made 1n response to
those comments to the effect that

These were the three methods by
which the Department of Labor spe-
cifically implemented the affirmative
action obligation imposed on Govern-
ment contractors and subcontractors.
Unlike nonconstructlon contractors.
who'were and are required to develop
detailed affirmative action programs
(which include goals and timetables
for women and minorities), the only

to "• • • take affirmative action to
ensure that applicants are employed,
and that employees are treated during
employment, without regard to their
race, color, religion, sex or national
origin." (Section 202, cl. 1, Executive
Order 11246, as -amended.)
. In the past, as stated above, the
OFCCP has used a number of methods
- to implement the affirmative action
requirement of the Executive Order in
the construction : industry. These
methods have included Hometown
Plans. Imposed Plans and Special Bid
Conditions.. The basic affirmative
action feature under each of these
methods has been goals and timeta-
bles.' Goals and 'timetables in large
measure have been limited to minority
uttlizatlon'although the word "minor-
•ity" •was defined to Include minority
women. In the construction industry,
however, goals and timetables general-
ly. have not been established for
women. The' notice published • else-
where in the FEDERAL REG1sTER today.
however, will establish goals and time-
tables for female utilization for con•
struction contractors and subcontrac-
• tors who are subject to Executive
Order 11246. as amended. •
A number of methods and proce-
dures for establishing goals and time-
tables for the construction Industry
have been considered, and the OFCCP
has concluded that this Notice form is
the most reasonable and efficient way
to inform construction contractors of
their obligations and to protect work-
ers under the Executive Order. First,
.the Hometown Plan concept contem-
plates that contractors, unions and the
local community voluntarily wL11 agree
to an affirmative action plan, submit it
to the OFCCP for approval and. if ap-
proved, compliance with the plan will
•constitute compliance w•1th the Execu-
tive Order. This process is time Con•
suming and does not always guarantee
agreement..Indeed, under this process
only 82 itothetowit Plans have been
developed and approved and only 33
Presently exist. These plans cover only
a small fraction of the cities in the
country and only a small portion of
Federal and federally assisted corn
struction. Similarly, the Imposed
Plans require long and drawn -out pro-
ceedings before they are implemented.
These proceedings include public hear-
ings in each area where the plan is im-
posed and subsequent publication in
the FEDERAL REGISTER and codification
to the Code of Federal Regulations.
Moreover, the hearing process did not
always produce reliable data upon
which reasonable goals could be based
thereby snaking it necessary for the
OFCCP to develop the goals •using
Census Bureau prepared data.
Through this process, seven , is-�.•
have been imposed.
In order to cover some of the major
Federal and federally assisted con-
struction contracts being performed
outside of Hometown and Imposed
Plan areas, Special Bid Conditions
were designed. Under this concept the
compliance agencies establish goals
and timetables for construction con-
tracts for which they have compliance
responsibility and submit the Special
Bid Conditions to the OFCCP for ap-
proval prior to the time the bids .or
offers were solicited. Special Bid Con-
ditions unlike Hometown and Imposed
Plans. however, are limited to the pro-
ject for which they were designed. Ac• •
cordingly. two projects being in close •
proximity would require separate Bid
' Conditions if the projects -Involved •
•
were resigned to different agencies for
compliance purposes, or no Bid Condi- -
tions at • all if the compliance agency • •
• did not act prior to the solicitation..
The three affirmative .action meth
ods previously used do not allow for an
efficient system which provides a fair . -
degree of protection for construction
• •employees. The notice system. on the„
-other hand, allows for the use -of the
<best data available. which • was not -
always forthcoming hi hearings, and '
an efficient and prompt implementa-
tion of the goals which result from
that data.
A review of the status of women in
the construction industry shows that
unless specific affirmative action steps
are prescribed, construction employ-
ment opportunities will not reach the
female workforce of this country. For
example, when these regulations were
• proposed last August, the preamble
contained the following statement (42
FR 41379); .
According to the.1970 Census of Popula-
tlon, women constituted 37 percent of the
experienced civilian labor force. and 19 per-
- cent of all persons 19 years or older with vo-
='catlonal training in trades or crafts. At the
•' sane . time, ' however. women constituted •
•only • 5 percent of the experienced labor

Further evidence of the Interest of and
• discrimination against women In the con-
struction industry was presented at recent
hrarinrs held In California and Washington
on the amendments of their State laws to
• include Foals and timetables for women tn
apprenticeships. The growing nurnber of Or-
- ganizations across the country whose lour -
pose is the placement of women in the con-
_ struction trades Illustrates the high degree
• of interest and the large number of women
interested tn pursuing careers in the ,cort-
struction trades.
• The longstanding reputation of the trades
for *excluding women discourages many
women from applying for construction jobs.
Thus, although many women are inclined
toward Jobs in the trades. far fewer actually
'apply: A study by two Stanford University
psyermicellta demonstrates that the
nurnber of women applying for Jobs in the
construction trades would substantially in-
crease were there goals for women. In that
studY. two eroups of female Job seekers
were given three detailed Job descriptions
and were asked to rate their Interest In the

of 50 percent more women in construction

• trades. Similarly, although there were only
' Iwo women in Madison. WLs.. construction
jobs In 1975, there were..tn 1976. after the

.• The exclusion of women from well -paying
jobs in the construction industry exists de-
spite persistent effort among women to
break into construction work. Although
v.-omen have rnade substantial gains in other
nontraditional jobs, the above statistics
demonstrate that the exclusion of women
from construction work will not be correct-
ed and that the objectives of the Executive
Order will not be realized unless positive
steps are taken to bring together the female
worker and the construction job. According-
ly. it is necessary to establish specific stan-
dards of affirmative action for women in the
• construction industry under Executive
Order 11246. as amended. Therefore. the
specific affirmative action requirements in-
corporated into these proposed regulations
Include specific requirements for ensuring
equal employment opportunities for women
as well as for minorities.
These factors show that women are
available for construction and that
they are not. being utilized. Moreover,
tf women are to assume a fair number
of Construction jobs It is necessary to
establish specific affirmative action re-
quirements. The time has Come to do
that.
2. The Department of Labor recog-
nizes the distinction between permissi-
ble affirmative action goals and time-
tables and impermissible quOLas. In a

The Department of Labor continues
to recognize the distinction between
affirmative goals and Impermissible
quotas. and also follows the policy
enunciated In the memorandum
quoted above.
The Congress and the courts also
have recognized and acquiesced in the
affirmative action programs (inc)uding
goals and timetables) required under
Executive Order 11290. When Con-
gress considered the Equal Employ-
ment Opportunity Act of 1972 (Pub. L.
92-261). Senator Saxbe made the fol-
lowing statement in support of his
amendment to strike a provision
which would have transferred the Ex-
ecutive Order program to the EEOC.
(118 Cong. Rec. 1385):

a ruling in that case, a university ad-

impact on these regulations that they
should be held in abeyance until the

2. Some contractor comments took
the position that the obligation to
take affirmative • action should be
shared equally by contractors and
their unions. The Department of
Labor does not disagree with the con-
cept of a• union taking affirmative
action. However, coverage under the
Executive Order is limited to Federal
contractors and subcontractors. Unless

taken, construction contractors and
subcontractors will continue to be sub-
ject to the goals and timetables for mi-
nority ntlli?ation on Federal and fed-
erally as fisted construction existing
now under Executive order 11246.
Such goals are published in appendix
B.
Now, therefore. based on.the forego-
ing and 41 CFR part 60-4, each con-
tracting agency, each applicant, and
each contractor shall include the ap-
propriate goal set forth in appendix A
and appendix B in all invitations for
bids or other solicitations for federally
involved construction contracts in
excess of $10,000. The goals in appen-
dix A hereby are established on a na-
tionwide basis as the standards for
