From the NILG Conference: Debra Carr of OFCCP's Division of Policy, Planning and Program Development

On Wednesday, August 28, Debra Carr of OFCCP's Division of Policy, Planning and Program Development gave a presentation on activities within her division.  She started by indicating the revisions to the Federal Contractor Compliance Manual (FCCM) were basically complete and that OFCCP expects to release the revised FCCM by the end of this year.  The revised FCCM will be easily navigatable, and provide effective guidance to both OFCCP compliance officers and federal contractors.

Ms. Carr then talked about several other initiatives through her division.  The division is providing additional language support and assistance for persons with limited English proficience as OFCCP attempts to make information more widely available to workers and the general public.  For example, the agency is attempting to make interpreters and translators more widely available.  OFCCP is also creating new fact sheets and attempting to educate the public about the agency's mission and the obligations of federal contractors.
