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.

On September 29, 2025, the U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) announced a sweeping Interim Final Rule (IFR), (the “Affiliates Rule”) expanding which entities qualify as Entity List or Military End-User entities, thereby subjecting those entities to elevated export control restrictions under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). U.S. export restrictions applicable to entities on the Entity List, Military End-User (MEU) List, and Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (SDN List) now apply to foreign affiliates that are, in the aggregate, owned 50% or more by one or more of the aforementioned entities. An entity that becomes subject to these restrictions because of its ownership structure will be subject to the most restrictive controls that attach to any of its parent entities, regardless of ownership stakes.
