I--Further Amendments to Equal Employment Opportunity (FAR Case 2015-

DoD, GSA, and NASA are issuing an interim rule amending the Federal
Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to implement Executive Order (E.O.) 13672,
entitled ``Further Amendments to Executive Order 11478, Equal
Employment Opportunity in the Federal Government, and Executive Order
11246, Equal Employment Opportunity''. E.O. 13672 was signed July 21,
2014. This interim rule is also implementing a final rule issued by the
Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs of the Department of
Labor, which was published in the Federal Register at 79 FR 72985 on
December 9, 2014, Implementation of Executive Order 13672 Prohibiting
Discrimination Based on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity by
Contractors and Subcontractors.
Executive Order 11246, dated September 24, 1965, established
requirements for non-discriminatory practices in hiring and employment
for Federal contractors and subcontractors. The bases of discrimination
prohibited by E.O. 11246 are race, color, religion, sex, and national
origin. E.O. 13672 adds sexual orientation and gender identity to the
prohibited bases of discrimination established by Executive Order
11246. There is no significant impact on small entities imposed by the
FAR rule.
