The Labor Department's Federal Contract Compliance Programs Office moved on three regulatory fronts on August 21, 2026, with the Federal Register logging a pair of modifications and a rescission in a single day.

The first action is a rule modifying regulations implementing Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended. The second modifies regulations implementing the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended.

The third action is a rescission: OFCCP published a rule striking the implementing regulations for Executive Order 11246. The read here is that a rescission is structurally different from a modification - it removes a regulatory framework rather than adjusting it - and its appearance alongside two modification rules on the same date appears to be the most consequential of the three actions on the available record.

The Federal Register carried all three on the same publication date. Whether any of the three actions carries an effective date beyond August 21, or draws a comment period, is not established by the record.
