SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 1, 2025, DOL issued an NPRM to
rescind the regulations for Executive Order 11246, as amended. The
public comment period for the NPRM was scheduled to close on September
2, 2025. In response to public comments, DOL is extending the public
comment period to September 17, 2025. DOL believes this 15-day
extension is sufficient and balances the agency's need for stakeholder
input with the Department's desire to proceed with the rulemaking in a
timely manner. Any prior denial of an extension request remains in
effect to the extent the request asked for more than a 15-day
extension. No further extensions will be granted.
