Federal Acquisition Regulation; Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces; Extension of Time for Comments

概要

DoD, GSA, and NASA issued a proposed rule (FAR Case 2014-025) on May 28, 2015, amending the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to implement Executive Order (E.O.) 13673, "Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces," which is designed to improve contractor compliance with labor laws and increase efficiency and cost savings in Federal contracting. The deadline for submitting comments is being extended from July 27, 2015, to August 11, 2015, to provide additional time for interested parties to provide comments on the FAR case. The due date for comments on DOL's Guidance for Executive Order 13673, "Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces", which also implements the E.O., is being extended to August 11, 2015 as well.
