Overview of This Information
Collection
data on electronic media such as
magnetic tapes and diskettes.
Collection Title: ElementarySecondary Staff Information Report
EEO–5.
OMB-Number: 0346–0003.
Frequency of Report: Biennial.
Type of Respondent: Public
elementary and secondary school
districts with 100 or more employees.
Description of Affected Public: State
and Local Government.
Number of Responses: 5,000.
Reporting Hours: 12,000.
Federal Cost: $80,000.
Number of Forms: 1.
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
been or are being committed and to
make reports therefrom as required by
the EEOC. Accordingly, the EEOC has
issued regulations which set forth the
reporting requirement for various kinds
of employers. Elementary and secondary
public school systems and districts have
been required to submit EEO–5 reports
to EEOC since 1974 (biennially in evennumbered years since 1982). Since 1996
each school district or system has
submitted all of the district data on a
single form, EEOC Form 168A. The
individual school form, EEOC Form
168B, was eliminated in 1996, greatly
reducing the respondent burden and
cost.
EEO–5 data are used by the EEOC to
investigate charges of employment
discrimination against elementary and
secondary public school districts. The
data are used to support EEOC decisions
and conciliations, and for research. The
data are shared with the Department of
Education (Office for Civil Rights and
the National Center for Education
Statistics) and the Department of Justice.
Pursuant to Section 709(d) of Title VII
of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as
amended, EEO–5 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–5 survey is 5000 public
elementary and secondary school
districts. The number of responses per
respondent is one report. The annual
number of responses is approximately
5,000 and the total hours per response
ranges from one (1) to five (5) hours.
The estimated total number of response
hours is 12,000 each time the survey is
conducted (i.e., biennially.)
Respondents are encouraged to report

of employers. State and local
governments with 100 or more full-time
employees have been required to submit
EEO–4 reports since 1973 (biennially in
odd-numbered years since 1993). The
individual reports are confidential.
EEO–4 data are used by the EEOC to
investigate charges of discrimination
against state and local governments and
to provide information on the
employment status of minorities and
women. The data are shared with
several other Federal government
agencies. Pursuant to section 709(d) of
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,
as amended, EEO–4 data are also shared
with eighty-six State and Local Fair
Employment Practices Agencies
(FEPAs). Aggregated data are also used
by researchers and the general public.
Burden Statement: The estimated
number of respondents included in the
EEO–4 survey is 5,000 state and local
governments. The estimated number of
responses per respondent is
approximately two (2) EEO–4 reports
and the reporting burden averages
between 1 and 5 hours per response,
including the time needed to review
instructions, search existing data
sources, gather and maintain the data,
and complete and review the collection
of information. The total number of
responses is thus 10,000 reports while
the total burden is estimated to be
40,000 hours, including record keeping
burden. In order to help reduce burden,
respondents are encouraged to report
data on electronic media such as
diskettes.
