SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Abstract: The DOT will utilize the form to collect information 
necessary to process EEO discrimination complaints filed by individuals 
who are not Federal employees and are applicants for employment with 
the Department. These complaints are processed in accordance with the 
U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's regulations, Title 29, 
Code of Federal Regulations, Part 1614, as amended. The DOT will use 
the form to: (a) Request requisite information from the applicant for 
processing his/her EEO discrimination complaint; and (b) obtain 
information to identify an individual or his or her attorney or other 
representative, if appropriate. An applicant's filing of an EEO 
discrimination complaint is solely voluntary. The DOT estimates that it 
takes an applicant approximately one hour to complete the form.
    Respondents: Job applicants filing EEO discrimination complaints.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 10 per year.
    Estimated Total Burden on Respondents: 10 hours per year.
    Comments Are Invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is reasonable for the proper performance of the EEO 
functions of the Department, and (b) the accuracy of the Department's 
estimate of the burden of the proposed information collection. All 
responses to the notice will be summarized and included in the request 
for OMB approval. All comments will also become a matter of public 
record.
