On September 8, 2006, the Department of Labor's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) published a final rule rescinding the Equal Opportunity Survey (EO Survey) requirement in order to more effectively focus enforcement resources and eliminate a regulatory requirement that fails to provide value to either OFCCP enforcement or contractor compliance. This rule "allows OFCCP to better direct its resources for the benefit of victims of discrimination, the government, contractors, and taxpayers."
