OFCCP Issues Final Rule Dialing Back Transparency Promised in 2020 Predetermination Notice Regulation

August 24, 2023 Filed Under: OFCCP

Executive Summary: On August 4, 2023, the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) published a final rule amending the 2020 pre-enforcement regulations colloquially referred to as the “PDN Rule.” A PDN or a Predetermination Notice is a letter that OFCCP issues to notify contractors, currently undergoing a compliance review, that the agency has identified preliminary indicators of potential discrimination. The PDN provides contractors with an early opportunity to respond prior to OFCCP issuing a Notice of Violation (NOV). The 2020 PDN Rule was hailed by OFCCP as a sign of its commitment to transparency and early, efficient resolution of open audits. While the final rule does not eliminate the requirement that OFCCP issue a PDN, the level of transparency promised and the evidentiary standard for issuing the PDN have been significantly reduced.
