SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Applicant Background Questionnaire. OMB Control Number: Pending. Type of Request: Authorization for a new form. Abstract: The Department of Transportation (DOT) is required to collect information from both applicants and Departmental employees on their disability status, race and national origin affiliation. Additionally, this form will be used to ask applicants for employment how they learned about a ADDRESSES: PO 00000 Frm 00105 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 32393 vacancy to ensure that recruitment sources yield qualified women and minority applicants, as well as applicants with disabilities, in compliance with Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) management directives. Abstract: The purpose of the collection is to standardize the collection of race, ethnicity, sex, national origin, and disability status for all DOT Operating Administrations. When established, this information will assist the DOT in monitoring programs and will be the basis for several different reports required by statute. Background: The DOT is required to analyze the civil rights impact(s) of policies, actions, or decisions that affect federally conducted programs and activities and the DOT workforce. In order to assess the civil rights impact, data on recruitment, employment, and diversity must be analyzed in a consistent manner with respect to the race, ethnicity, sex, national origin, disability status, and age of applicants and employees. Currently, no uniform method of reporting and tabulating race and ethnicity data exits in the DOT. There are 10 Operating Administrations providing employee information through a centralized system as well as an Executive Agent collecting selected applicant data through an automated staffing system. The collection of data is necessary to provide each Operating Administration, and the DOT as a whole, with the composition of its workforce particularly from a race, ethnicity, and disability standpoint. Further, data is necessary to give DOT a baseline on its applicants and assist it in planning recruitment and outreach efforts. The goal of a comprehensive DOT collection of race, ethnicity, sex, national origin, and disability status is to reduce the burden on applicants and employees to provide this type of information by creating a single voluntary survey where the data is collected in a standard format. Respondents: Employees upon initial hire and applicants for positions. Estimated Number of Respondents: 120,000. Estimated Total Burden on Respondents: 3 minutes. Comments are invited on (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Department, including whether the information will have practical utility as described; (b) the accuracy of the Department’s estimate of burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of methodology and E:\FR\FM\02JNN1.SGM 02JNN1 32394 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 105 / Thursday, June 2, 2005 / Notices assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including the use of appropriate, automated, electronic, mechanical or other technology.

Background FAA Order 8100.14 was first published to coincide with the date the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) began operations in September 2003. This order provided interim policy and guidance on how to interact with the newly established EASA and the National Aviation Authorities of European Union Member States for the purposes of type, production, and airworthiness certification, and continued airworthiness of aeronautical products. Over the past two years EASA moved its headquarters, expanded its infrastructure, and developed and implemented several internal policies. EASA’s growth and resulting process changes have affected the interaction between EASA and the FAA, resulting in the first revision of Order 8100.14. How To Obtain Copies You can get a copy of proposed FAA Order 8100.14A from the FAA’s Regulatory and Guidance Library (RGL) at: https://www.airweb.faa.gov/rgl.
