    Title: Individual Compliant of Employment Discrimination Form.

    Type of Review: Renewal of previously approved form.
    Abstract: The DOT will utilize the form to collect information 
necessary to process EEO discrimination complaints filed by employees, 
former employees, and 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
