EEOC regulations require private employers with 100 or more employees to collect and retain in their records demographic information about their employees, and report this information to EEOC annually. EEOC uses this information to enforce civil rights laws and shares it with the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP), U.S. Department of Labor, and several other Federal agencies. Data are also shared with State and local Fair Employment Practices Agencies (FEPAs).
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has approved the EEO-1 through August 31, 2014. EEOC is now requesting an emergency extension without change of the form in order to continue collect the data while EEOC completes the PRA process for the regular three year extension.
EEOC published a request for an emergency extension of the approval for the EEO-1 in the Federal Register on August 13, 2014. Please see the supplemental documents for a copy of that notice.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
