When a conciliation agreement has been violated, the following
procedures are applicable:
(a) A written notice shall be sent to the contractor setting forth
the violations alleged and summarizing the supporting evidence. The
contractor shall have 15 days from receipt of the notice to respond,
except in those cases in which such a delay would result in irreparable
injury to the employment rights of affected employees or applicants.
(b) During the 15-day period the contractor may demonstrate in
writing that it has not violated its commitments.
(c) If the contractor is unable to demonstrate that it has not
violated its commitments, or if the complaint alleges irreparable
injury, enforcement proceedings may be initiated immediately without
issuing a show cause notice or proceeding through any other requirement
contained in this chapter.
(d) In any proceeding involving an alleged violation of a
conciliation agreement OFCCP may seek enforcement of the agreement
itself and shall not be required to present proof of the underlying
violations resolved by the agreement.
