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.

Executive Director.
