comment period. One comment was
received; however, it did not address
recordkeeping or the specific
requirements in 29 CFR part 1602, but
rather appeared to concern a federal
EEO complaint filed by the commenter.
As such, the comment was deemed nonresponsive, and its contents were not
considered in regards to this
information collection. To protect the
personal privacy of the commenter,
EEOC is electing not to post the nonresponsive comment on regulations.gov.
Overview of This Information
Collection
Collection title: Recordkeeping under
Title VII, the ADA, and GINA.
OMB Control number: 3046–0040.
Description of affected public:
Employers with 15 or more employees
are subject to Title VII, the ADA, and
GINA.
Number of responses: 914,843.
Reporting hours: Not applicable.
Number of forms: None.
Federal cost: None.
Abstract: Section 709(c) of Title VII,
42 U.S.C. 2000e-8(c), section 107(a) of
the ADA, 42 U.S.C. 12117(a), and
section 207 of GINA, 42 U.S.C. 2000ff6 require the Commission to establish
regulations pursuant to which
employers subject to those Acts shall
make and preserve certain records to
assist the EEOC in assuring compliance
with the Acts’ nondiscrimination in
employment requirements. This is a
recordkeeping requirement. Any of the
records maintained which are
subsequently disclosed to the EEOC
during an investigation are protected
from public disclosure by the
confidentiality provisions of section
706(b) and 709(e) of Title VII which are
also incorporated by reference into the
ADA at section 107(a) and GINA at
section 207.
Burden statement: The estimated
number of respondents is 914,843
employers. An employer subject to the
recordkeeping requirement in 29 CFR
part 1602 must retain all personnel or
employment records made or kept by
that employer for one year, and must
retain any records relevant to charges
filed under Title VII, the ADA, or GINA
until final disposition of those matters,
which may be longer than one year.
This recordkeeping requirement does
not require reports or the creation of
new documents, but merely requires
retention of documents that an
employer has already made or kept in
the normal course of its business
operations. Thus, existing employers
bear no burden under this analysis,
because their systems for retaining
personnel and employment records are

already in place. Newly formed firms
may incur a small burden when setting
up their data collection systems to
ensure compliance with EEOC’s
recordkeeping requirements. We assume
some effort and time must be expended
by employers to familiarize themselves
with the Title VII, ADA, and GINA
recordkeeping requirements and inform
staff about those requirements. We
estimate that 30 minutes would be
needed for this one-time familiarization
process. Using 2011 data from the Small
Business Administration, we estimate
that there are 82,516 firms that would
incur this start-up burden. Assuming a
30 minute burden per firm, the total
annual hour burden is 41,258 hours.
OMB is particularly interested in
comments which:
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
Commission’s functions, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the
Commission’s estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.
For the Commission.

information technology; and ways to
further reduce the information
collection burden on small business
concerns with fewer than 25 employees.
The FCC may not conduct or sponsor
a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) control
number. No person shall be subject to

Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities, Not for profit institutions
and Individuals or household.
Number of Respondents and
Responses: 632,595 respondents and
635,215 responses.
Estimated Time per Response: .5
hours–40 hours.
Frequency of Response:
Recordkeeping requirement, On
occasion reporting requirement and
Third party disclosure requirement.
Obligation to Respond: Required to
obtain or retain benefits. The statutory
authority for this information collection
is contained in 47 U.S.C. 154(I), 303(g),
303(r) and 332.
Total Annual Burden: 324,470 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No cost.
Privacy Impact Assessment: This
information collection affects
individuals or households; thus, there
are impacts under the Privacy Act.
However, the government is not directly
collecting this information and the R&O
directs carriers to protect the
information to the extent it is
considered Customer Proprietary
Network Information (CPNI).
Nature and Extent of Confidentiality:
There is no need for confidentiality with
this collection of information.
Needs and Uses: On September 19,
2014, the Federal Communications
Commission (Commission or FCC)
adopted an Order on Reconsideration in
WT Docket No. 10–4, FCC No. 14–138,
in which it took the following action,
among others: Required that Consumer
Signal Boosters certified for fixed
operation only be labeled to notify
consumers that such devices may only
be used in fixed, in-building locations.
Therefore, the new labeling requirement
which requires OMB review and
approval is as follows:
The labeling requirement is covered
under 47 section 20.21(f)(1)(iv)(A)(2).
The new requirement is needed in order
to ensure that consumers are properly
informed about which devices are
suitable for their use and how to comply
VerDate Sep<11>2014
20:09 Apr 09, 2015
Jkt 235001
with our rules, the Commission required
that all Consumer Signal Boosters
certified for fixed, in-building operation
include a label directing consumers that
the device may only be operated in a
fixed, in-building location. The Verizon
Petitioners state that this additional
labeling requirement is necessary to
inform purchasers of fixed Consumer
Signal Boosters that they may not
lawfully be installed and operated in a
moving vehicle or outdoor location. We
recognize that our labeling requirement
imposes additional costs on entities that
manufacture Consumer Signal Boosters;
however, on balance, we find that such
costs are outweighed by the benefits of
ensuring that consumers purchase
appropriate devices. Accordingly, all
fixed Consumer Signal Boosters, both
Provider-Specific and Wideband,
manufactured or imported on or after
one year from the effective date of the
rule change must include the following
advisory (1) in on-line point-of-sale
marketing materials, (2) in any print or
on-line owner’s manual and installation
instructions, (3) on the outside
packaging of the device, and (4) on a
label affixed to the device: ‘‘This device
may be operated ONLY in a fixed
location for in-building use.’’

Form Number: None. (Complaints
alleging violations of the Contest Rule
generally are filed on FCC Forms 2000E,

Type of Review: Existing information
collection in use without an OMB
Control Number.
Respondents: Business or other forprofit entities; Not-for-profit

Number of Respondents and
Responses: 20,481 respondents; 20,481

of 1934, as amended.

address concerns about the manner in
which broadcast stations were
conducting contests over the air. The
Contest Rule generally requires stations
to broadcast material contest terms fully
and accurately the first time the
audience is told how to participate in a
contest, and periodically thereafter. In
addition, stations must conduct contests
substantially as announced. These
information collection requirements are
necessary to ensure that broadcast
licensees conduct contests with due
regard for the public interest.
