On August 4, 2015, the Department of Labor (DOL) and Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council (FARC) both published in the Federal Register that the deadline for the comment period on the proposed guidance on implementing Executive Order 13673, Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces, also referred to as the “Blacklisting” Executive Order would be extended again from August 11, 2015 to August 26, 2015. There was no mention on whether this was in response to the letter from the congressional committee and subcommittee chairs. Comments on the DOL proposed guidance can be submitted at: http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=DOL-2015-0002-0001 and comments on the FARC proposed rule can be submitted at: http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=FAR-2014-0025-0001.
