promulgation. This information is being
collected to assure compliance with 40
CFR part 61, subpart D.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities:
Beryllium rocket motor fuel firing test
sites.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR part 61, subpart D).
Estimated number of respondents: 1
(total).
Frequency of response: Annually.
Total estimated burden: 9 hours (per
year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $1,110 (per
year), which includes $0 for annualized
capital/startup and/or operation &
maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no
change in burden from the mostrecently approved ICR as currently
identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved Burdens. This is due to two
considerations: (1) The regulations have
not changed over the past three years
and are not anticipated to change over
the next three years; and (2) the growth
rate for this industry is very low or nonexistent, so there is no significant
change in the overall burden. Since
there are no changes in the regulatory
requirements and there is no significant
industry growth, there are also no
changes in the capital/startup and/or
operation and maintenance (O&M)
costs.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.

Overview of Information Collection
Collection Title: State and Local
Government Information Report (EEO–
4).
OMB Number: 3046–0008.
Frequency of Report: Biennial, odd
years.
Type of Respondent: State and local
governments with 100 or more
employees within the 50 U.S. states and
District of Columbia.
Description of Affected Public: State
and local governments with 100 or more
employees within the 50 U.S. states and
District of Columbia.
Reporting Hours: 95,542 per biennial
collection.
Burden Hour Cost: $4,719,509.02 per
biennial collection.
Federal Cost: $386,609.20 per
biennial collection.
Number of Respondents: 5,687.
Number of Responses: 13,649.
Number of Forms: 1.
Form Number: EEOC Form 164.
Abstract: Section 709(c) of Title VII of
the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as
amended, 42 U.S.C. 2000e–8(c), requires
State and local governments to make
and keep records relevant to a
determination of whether unlawful
employment practices have been or are
being committed and produce reports
required by the EEOC. Accordingly, the
EEOC issued regulations, 29 CFR
1602.30 and 1602.32–.37, which set
forth the reporting requirements and
related record retention policies for
State and local governments. 29 CFR
1602.30 requires every covered State
and local government to make or keep
all records necessary for completion of
an EEO–4 submission and retain those
records for three years. 29 CFR 1602.32
requires filers to retain a copy of each
filed EEO–4 report for three years. These
requirements are related to
recordkeeping, which is part of standard
administrative practices, and as a result,
the EEOC believes that any impact on
burden would be negligible and nearly
impossible to quantify. State and local
governments with 100 or more
employees have been required to submit
EEO–4 reports since 1974 (biennially
since 1993). The EEOC uses EEO–4 data
for research and to investigate charges of
discrimination. The individual reports
are confidential.
Burden Statement: The methodology
for calculating annual burden reflects
the different staff that are responsible
for preparing and filing the EEO–4.
These estimates are based on the
estimated submission time of 7 hours
per reporting unit, as published in the
2018 EEO–4 Information Collection
Review as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act.1 The EEOC accounts for
time to be spent biennially on EEO–4
reporting by senior and administrative
staff, as well as time spent by computer
support specialists, executive
administrative staff, and payroll and
human resource professionals; the
revised estimate also includes attorneys
who may consult briefly during the
reporting process. The estimated
number of respondents included in the
biennial EEO–4 data collection is 5,687
State and local governments, as this is
the average number of reporting units
between 2005 and 2019. These 5,687
respondents will submit an estimated
13,649 reports during each biennial
reporting cycle. The estimated hour
burden per report will be 7 hours, and
the estimated total biennial respondent
burden hours will be 95,542. Burden
hour cost was calculated using median
hourly wage rates for administrative
staff and legal counsel, and average
hourly wage rates for State and local
government staff. The burden hour cost
per report will be $214.77, and the
estimated total burden hour cost per

These estimates are based upon filers’
use of the EEO–4 online filing system to
submit reports. The EEOC has made
online electronic submission much
easier for respondents required to file
the EEO–4 Report and as a result, more
respondents are using this electronic
filing method. During the 2019 EEO–4
data collection cycle, 4,988 EEO–4 filers
completed and certified their
submission. Of the 4,988 EEO–4 filers
who submitted data in 2019, 4 percent
uploaded a data file, 92 percent filed
through the online application, and 4
percent submitted paper records.
Electronic filing remains the most
efficient, accurate, and secure means of
reporting for respondents required to
submit the EEO–4 report. Accordingly,
the EEOC will continue to encourage
EEO–4 filers to submit data through
online electronic filing and will only
accept paper records from filers who
have secured permission to submit data
via paper submission.
Dated: May 22, 2021.
