In plain English
This section tells contracting personnel where to send certain inquiries about compliance with E.O. 11246. Contractor questions about their compliance status or appeal rights go to the OFCCP regional office, while labor union questions about revising a collective bargaining agreement go to the Deputy Assistant Secretary. It matters because it directs contractors and unions to the right office for these specific issues.
