OFCCP Extends the EEO-1 FOIA Objection Deadline to October 19, 2022
Client Alert | 1 min read | 09.15.22
As outlined in our prior client alert, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (the “OFCCP”) published a Notice in the Federal Register to federal contractors of a Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”) request for disclosure of Type 2 Consolidated EEO-1 Report data submitted by all federal contractors and first-tier subcontractors from 2016 until 2020. The OFCCP informed covered contractors that these reports would be produced to the FOIA requester unless the contractor submitted an objection to the disclosure by September 19, 2022. With that deadline fast approaching, many contractors have been rushing to examine their EEO-1 reports to assess whether they should submit an objection, have raised questions with the OFCCP to better understand whether their EEO-1 reports are covered by the FOIA request, and have raised the prospect of an extension of the September 19 deadline. As a result, OFCCP has just announced that (1) the Agency is extending the deadline for objections to October 19, 2022, and (2) that the Agency will be emailing all contractors that OFCCP believes are covered by this FOIA request, “using the email address provided by contractors that have registered in OFCCP’s Contractor Portal and the email addresses provided as a contact for the EEO-1 report.”
This additional time and communication is welcome news for the contracting community. Crowell & Moring LLP is available to assist federal contractors with questions regarding submission of objections prior to the new October 19, 2022 deadline.

Federal Court Blocks Trump Administration Policies Restricting Wind and Solar Permitting
A coalition of regional clean energy trade associations — including RENEW Northeast, Alliance for Clean Energy New York, Southern Renewable Energy Association, and Interwest Energy Alliance — along with the Green Energy Consumers Alliance (GECA), filed suit in December 2025 against the Department of the Interior (DOI), the Bureau of Land Management, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and the Army Corps of Engineers. The complaint alleged that five agency actions, issued in response to a series of executive orders and presidential memoranda beginning on January 20, 2025, violated the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) by arbitrarily halting or restricting federal permitting for wind and solar energy projects. Plaintiffs sought a preliminary injunction to halt enforcement of these policies while the litigation proceeds. See Renew Northeast, et al. v. U.S. Dep’t of Interior, et al., No. 25-cv-13961-DJC, (D. Mass. Apr. 21, 2026) ECF Dkt. 89.
