and certain federal government contractors and first-tier

    Description of Affected Public: Private employers with 100 or more

    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, to preserve such records, 
and to produce reports as the Commission prescribes by regulation or 
order. Accordingly, the EEOC issued regulations, Title 29, Chapter XIV, 
Subpart B, Section 1602.7, prescribing the EEO-1 reporting requirement. 
Employers in the private sector with 100 or more employees and some 
federal contractors with 50 or more employees have been required to 
submit EEO-1 reports annually since 1966. The individual reports are 
confidential. EEO-1 data is used by EEOC to investigate charges of 
employment discrimination against employers in private industry and to 
provide information about the employment status of minorities and 
women. The data is shared with the Office of Federal Contract 
Compliance Programs (OFCCP), U.S. Department of Labor, and several 
other federal agencies. Pursuant to Sec.  709(d) of Title VII of the 
Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, EEO-1 data is also shared with 
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 establishment-based responses per reporting company is 
between three and four EEO-1 reports annually. The annual number of 
responses is approximately 170,000. The form is estimated to impose 
599,000 burden hours annually. In order to help reduce survey burden, 
respondents are encouraged to report data electronically whenever 
possible.

    Dated: April 19, 2011.

    For the Commission.

Chair.
