ACTION: Notice of Extension Request--No Change. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act agencies are required to submit proposed information collection requests to OMB for review and approval, and to publish a notice in the Federal Register notifying the public that the agency has made such a submission. The EEOC has requested an extension of an existing collection as listed below. ADDRESSES: The Request for Clearance (SF 83I), supporting statement, and other documents submitted to OMB for review may be obtained from: Margaret Ulmer Holmes, EEOC Clearance Officer, 1801 L Street, NW., Room 2928, Washington, DC 20507. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joachim Neckere, Director, Program Research and Surveys Division, 1801 L Street, NW., Room 9222, Washington, DC 20507, (202) 663-4958 (voice) or (202) 663-7063 (TDD). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Type of Review: Extension--No Change. Collection Title: Equal Employment Opportunity Employer Information Report EEO-1 Instruction Booklet. Form Number: Standard Form 100. Frequency of Report: Annually. Type of Respondent: Private employers with 100 or more employees and some federal government contractors and first-tier subcontractors with 50 or more employees. Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code: Multiple. Description of Affected Public: IND/HHID and Farms and Businesses/ INST. Responses: 126,700. Reporting Hours: 463,700. Number of Forms: 1. Federal Cost: $809,000. Abstract: Section 709(c) of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 2000e-8(c), requires employers to make and keep records relevant to a determination of whether unlawful employment practices have or are being committed and to make reports therefrom as required by the EEOC. Pursuant to Title 29, Chapter XIV, Supart B, Sec. 1602.7, employers in the private sector with 100 or more employees and some federal contractors with 50 or more employees are required to submit EEO-1 reports annually. The EEO-1 data collection program has existed since 1966. The individual reports are confidential. EEO-1 data are used by the EEOC to investigate charges of employment discrimination against employers in private industry. The data are shared with the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) in the U.S. Department of Labor, and several other federal agencies. Pursuant to Section 709(d) of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, EEO-1 data are also shared with 86 State and local Fair Employment Practices Agencies (FEPAs). Burden Statement: The estimated number of respondents included in the annual EEO-1 survey is 45,000 private employers. The estimated number of responses per respondent is between 2 and 3 EEO-1 reports. The number of annual responses is approximately 126,700, and the total hours of annual burden is 463,700. The estimated total hours of annual burden is substantially reduced from that reported in the most previous EEO-1 OMB Clearance Package. The reduction of 64,800 annual burden hours is directly linked to the ever increasing number of employers who choose to submit computer generated reports. Dated: August 7, 1996. For the Commission.
