Published August 21, 2026. Takes effect October 26, 2026. printed at 91 FR 54444. amending 41 CFR 60.
An order on hiring by race and sex was undone. This drops the rules that ran it.
What the Rule Says It Does
On January 21, 2025, President Trump issued Executive Order 14173, "Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity," which revoked Executive Order 11246. Accordingly, the U.S. Department of Labor publishes this final rule to rescind the implementing regulations for Executive Order 11246.
This is the rule's own summary, as the Federal Register prints it.
The Orders It Names
- Executive Order 14173: Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity
- Executive Order 14398: Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors
The rule names these orders itself. What it does about them is a reading, and none is recorded here.
