I support the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Program's proposed regulation to strengthsn Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act and add utilization goal to hold contractors accountable for hiring people with disabilities.
Please be sure to establish a sub-goal for individuals with targeted disabilities with the greatest history of exclusion from the workforce and include the autism spectrum and other developmental disabilities as within the sub-goal's "targeted disability" category.
Please also clarify in the Final Rule that contractors should only be able to count individuals in integrated employment settings towards meeting their affirmative action obligations, not individuals employed through subcontracts to sheltered workshops.
