General. The regulations set out in this chapter implement certain contract compliance procedures required by Executive Order 11246, as amended, and by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) of the Department of Labor (41.-CFR 60-4). These regulations shall apply to all Land and Water Conservation Fund grants 'involving Federally assisted construction contracts and subcontracts in excess of $10,000. In determining whether Fund-assisted construction contracts exceed this dollar limit, the total amount of the contract awarded rather than the amount of Federal assistance shall apply. 2. Coordination. It is the responsibility of the State to insure that State and local project sponsors are in compliance with these regulations. The State will cooperate with the National Park Service and the Secretary of the Interior in obtaining the compliance of project sponsors, construction contractors and subcontractors with the equal opportunity clause and the rules, regulations, and relevant orders. The State will furnish such information as maybe required for the supervision of such compliance, and it will otherwise assist the National Park Service in the discharge of their.duties under Executive Order 11246, as amended (3 CFR 169), its implementing regulations (41 CFR 60), and the relevant Orders of the Secretary of Labor. 3. Women and Minority Construction Hiring Goals. The Department of Labor has developed regulations regarding.goals and timetables for female and minority participation in. the construction industry (41 CFR 60-4). Certain geographic areas have been established by the Office of .Federal,Contract Compliance-Programs for the purpose of establishing goals for minority participation in the construction industry.. A list of geographic. areas is found .in Appendices A and B of Women a n d Minorities.in Construction (published by the -OFCCP in the 5/5/78 Federal Register). A. Goals and timetables established for women are national in scope and apply uniformly throughout the nation. As such there is one set of goals, found in Appendix A of Women and Minorities in Construction. (See above reference). B. Goals and timetables established for minorities apply only in the specific geographic areas listed in Appendix B of Women and Minorities in Construction. (See above reference). _ 4.

A single goal for minorities and a separate single goal for women 'have been established. The Contractor, however, is required.-to,provide equal employment opportunity and to take affirmative action for:all minority groups, both male and female, and all women,:both;minority and. non- minority. Consequently,, the `Contractor_ may be in, violation of the Executive Order if a particular group is employed in substantially disparate manner (for example, even though the Contractor has achieved its goals for women generally; the Contractor maybe in violation of`the Executive Order if a specific minority group of women is underutilized). - - - - -- - - -- - - - -- -- - -- -- - - - -- --- Manual Release 151 Replaces all preceding manual releases - - 5 CHAPTER 650.5 L&WLri GRANTS MANUAL ATTACHMENT B 10.
