Labor final rule strips Registered Apprenticeship affirmative-action and utilization-goal mandates
FR Doc. 2026-22680 (91 FR 70164, 6 Nov) revises 29 CFR part 30. Effective 5 January 2027, sponsors no longer face part 30’s general affirmative-action/EEO administrative duties or the numerical race/sex/ethnicity utilization goals for programs with five or more apprentices. Sponsors must still obey other federal and state nondiscrimination laws.
