(a) When OFCCP believes that a conciliation agreement has been violated, the
following procedures are applicable:
(1) A written notice shall be sent to the contractor setting forth the
violation 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 OFCCP asserts that such a delay would result in irreparable
injury to the employment rights of affected employees or applicants.
(2) During the 15-day period the contractor may demonstrate in writing that
it has not violated its commitments.
(b) In those cases in which OFCCP asserts that a delay would result in
irreparable injury to the employment rights of affected employees or
applicants, enforcement proceedings may be initiated immediately without
proceeding through any other requirement contained in this chapter.
(c) In any proceedings 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.
