OFCCP Requests OMB Approval on FAAPs

Written by Sonia Chapin, SPHR, SHRM-SCP | April 17 2019

This week, OFCCP published a request to extend the Functional Affirmative Action Program (FAAP) process with no changes to the existing requirements. The FAAP is an alternative to typical establishment-based AAPs; contractors provide detailed information to the agency and can receive approval to create functional, rather than geographic, plans. The current Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for the FAAP documents expires on April 30, and OFCCP has applied to extend the authorization for another three years. 

The current FAAP documents will receive month long extensions until the OMB issues the expected approval. More information is available here, and public comments are accepted until May 16.
