    Abstract: The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) 
requires federal agencies to measure or otherwise keep statistics 
regarding the extent to which recruitment efforts result in increased 
protected class applicant flow. PACC-HRM devised and implemented a 
means for collecting such data on a nationwide basis. The collection 
form, AD-1086, has been used to capture applicant data. These data are 
used by U.S. Department of Agriculture for various reports such as 
Affirmative Action Plan and Report of Accomplishments for the Hiring, 
Placement, and Advancement of Persons with Disabilities as required by 
EEOC Management Directive (MD) 714.
    Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for this collection of 
information is estimated to average 5 minutes per response.
    Respondents: Individuals or Federal employees.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 50,000.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 4,000 hours.
    Copies of this collection and related information can be obtained 
without charge from Larry Roberson, the Agency OMB Clearance Officer, 
at [phone].
