On May 28, 2015, the Obama Administration published the highly-anticipated proposed FAR rule and proposed DOL guidance implementing the “Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces” Executive Order (EO). The proposed rule and guidance trigger a 60-day public comment period and provide details as to the onerous compliance and reporting burdens that contractors and subcontractors will face after final rulemaking. Implementing what is often referred to as the “Blacklisting” EO, the new rule and guidance – if implemented – will inject subjectivity into the contract award process, as “Agency Labor Compliance Advisors” make recommendations to contracting officers with respect to responsibility determinations, based on new and ambiguous standards set forth in the proposed guidance.
Please join Crowell & Moring for a discussion of the following key areas:
- The applicability and implementation of “Fair Pay Safe Workplaces”
- The “labor law violation” disclosure process
- Analysis of the rule’s effect upon responsibility determinations
- The three categories of violations that can trigger a negative responsibility finding, including “administrative merits determinations” that are reached before a hearing on the merits

Rethinking "the Administrative State" - Takeaways From the Supreme Court's 2025–26 Term
The Supreme Court's 2025–26 term took up several momentous cases that will influence and, in key respects, reorient constitutional separation-of-powers principles moving forward. Join the D.C. Bar Administrative Law and Agency Practice Community for a discussion of the key takeaways from the Supreme Court's 2025-26 term. This panel will examine decisions addressing the scope of executive branch authority, including cases involving tariffs issued under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and the removal of leaders of so-called independent agencies. The discussion will also address significant orders issued on the Court's emergency docket and what these decisions and orders signal about the distinct roles the three branches of federal government play in shaping the administrative state.
