OFCCP Extends the EEO-1 FOIA Objection Deadline to October 19, 2022
Client Alert | 1 min read | 09.15.22
As outlined in our prior client alert, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (the “OFCCP”) published a Notice in the Federal Register to federal contractors of a Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”) request for disclosure of Type 2 Consolidated EEO-1 Report data submitted by all federal contractors and first-tier subcontractors from 2016 until 2020. The OFCCP informed covered contractors that these reports would be produced to the FOIA requester unless the contractor submitted an objection to the disclosure by September 19, 2022. With that deadline fast approaching, many contractors have been rushing to examine their EEO-1 reports to assess whether they should submit an objection, have raised questions with the OFCCP to better understand whether their EEO-1 reports are covered by the FOIA request, and have raised the prospect of an extension of the September 19 deadline. As a result, OFCCP has just announced that (1) the Agency is extending the deadline for objections to October 19, 2022, and (2) that the Agency will be emailing all contractors that OFCCP believes are covered by this FOIA request, “using the email address provided by contractors that have registered in OFCCP’s Contractor Portal and the email addresses provided as a contact for the EEO-1 report.”
This additional time and communication is welcome news for the contracting community. Crowell & Moring LLP is available to assist federal contractors with questions regarding submission of objections prior to the new October 19, 2022 deadline.

AI Companies Prevail in Path-Breaking Decisions on Fair Use
Last week, artificial intelligence companies won two significant copyright infringement lawsuits brought by copyright holders, marking an important milestone in the development of the law around AI. These decisions – Bartz v. Anthropic and Kadrey v. Meta (decided on June 23 and 25, 2025, respectively), along with a February 2025 decision in Thomson Reuters v. ROSS Intelligence – suggest that AI companies have plausible defenses to the intellectual property claims that have dogged them since generative AI technologies became widely available several years ago. Whether AI companies can, in all cases, successfully assert that their use of copyrighted content is “fair” will depend on their circumstances and further development of the law by the courts and Congress.
