On November 16, 2010, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (“OFCCP”) of the U.S. Department of Labor (“DOL”) announced that it will no longer inspect the Forms I-9 of federal contractors during onsite compliance reviews. Under a 1998 memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) between the now-abolished DOL Employment Standards Administration and the former Immigration and Naturalization Service, presently the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (“USCIS”) within the DHS, the OFCCP was authorized to inspect Forms I-9 during onsite compliance evaluations of federal contractor and subcontractor establishments. The OFCCP has decided not to continue exercising its authority under this MOU because the agency lacks enforcement authority for any violations that are found.
