Annual Report From Federal Contractors

This proposed rule would amend regulations to implement certain provisions of the Veterans Employment Opportunity Act of 1998 (``VEOA''). Under the current version of that part, pursuant to the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Act of 1974, as amended (``VEVRAA''), all contractors and subcontractors with Federal contracts in excess of $10,000 are required to use the Federal Contractor Veterans' Employment Report VETS-100 form (``VETS-100 Report'') to report their efforts toward the hiring of qualified veterans in two specified categories. Section 7 of VEOA raised the reporting threshold from $10,000 to $25,000, and added a third category of veterans to the required reports. This rule would implement those changes, along with other changes that either are required by VEOA or will improve the administration of the related veterans' programs.
