Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal Communications Commission, 18054-18055 [2018-08572]

Download as PDF 18054 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 80 / Wednesday, April 25, 2018 / Notices The cost estimates are based on the assumption that filers use online reporting. For the 2015 EEO–4 report, 85% of EEO–4 filers submitted their report via online reporting and 5% of EEO–4 reports were submitted using the data upload method. The remaining 10% of filers submitted reports via the paper method. The EEOC has made electronic filing much easier for employers required to file the EEO–4 Report. As a result, more jurisdictions are using this filing method. This development, along with the greater availability of human resource information software, is expected to have significantly reduced the actual burden of reporting. Dated: April 18, 2018.
