Extension for Federal Contractor EEO-1 Objection to FOIA Information Release

The deadline for covered contractors to object to the publishing of their EEO-1 reports was postponed from September 19, 2022, to October 19, 2022, by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP).

Federal contractors must submit their objections to the publication of their Employment Information Report (EEO-1) Type 2 Consolidated, by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP), in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request by October 19, 2022.

The Center for Investigative Reporting (CIR) submitted a FOIA request to OFCCP seeking access to all Type-2 EEO-1 Reports submitted by federal contractors – including first-tier subcontractors – between 2016 and 2020. The Type 2 EEO-1 compiles information from all affiliates and locations to offer a demographic breakdown of the employer’s workforce by race and gender.

Objections must be submitted electronically through the OFCCP portal at https://www.dol.gov/agencies/ofccp/submitter-notice-response-portal
