Final rule amends the OFCCP hearing rules to expressly
require application of the DOL OALJ Rules of Practice and
Procedure, at 29 CFR Part
18, in all administrative enforcement proceedings against
Government contractors and subcontractors.
Repealed the OFCCP evidentiary regulation at
41 CFR 60-30.18 which proscribed the application of formal rules
of evidence in administrative enforcement proceedings against
Government contractors and subcontractors. The effect of this
repeal is to ensure that the new Department of Labor OALJ uniform
rules of evidence, designed to provide a stable and coherent
framework for resolving evidentiary issues, will be applied in
all such proceedings.
