1C00 Nonreceipt of AAPs

If the contractor fails to request an extension, if the request is denied, or if the contractor fails to submit any of the AAPs it is required to maintain within the established timeframe, the Investigator must recommend issuance of a SCN. The Investigator’s supervisor has the discretion only under extraordinary circumstances to grant the contractor a reasonable extension if the contractor does not submit the AAPs on time. This discretion should be exercised within the parameters set by the national office in Directive 2022-02 – Effective Compliance Evaluations and Enforcement and other guidance. Additionally, the regulations at 41 CFR 60-1.26(b)(1), 60-300.65, and 60-741.65 give the director of OFCCP the discretion to immediately refer the matter to the Solicitor for administrative enforcement when a contractor refuses to submit an AAP and efforts to conciliate the matter are unsuccessful.
