Overview of Information Collection Collection Title: Elementary-Secondary Staff Information Report (EEO-5). OMB-Number: 3046-0003. Frequency of Report: Biennial. Type of Respondent: Certain public elementary and secondary school districts. Description of Affected Public: Certain public elementary and secondary school districts. Number of Responses: 6,024.\1\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ This number represents the number of filers from the most recently completed EEO-5 survey in 2014. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reporting Hours (biennial): 102,839.32. Respondent Cost Burden (biennial): $0. Federal Cost: $190,000. Number of Forms: 1. Form Number: EEOC Form 168A. Abstract: Section 709(c) of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 2000e-8(c), requires employers to make and keep records relevant to a determination of whether unlawful employment practices have been or are being committed, to preserve such records, and to produce reports as the Commission prescribes by regulation or order. Accordingly, the EEOC issued regulations prescribing the reporting requirements for elementary and secondary public school districts. The EEOC uses EEO-5 data to investigate charges of employment discrimination against elementary and secondary public school districts. The data also are used for research. The data are shared with the Department of Education (Office for Civil Rights) and the Department of Justice. Pursuant to Section 709(d) of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, EEO-5 data also are shared with state and local Fair Employment Practices Agencies (FEPAs). Burden Statement: The EEOC has updated its methodology for calculating annual burden to reflect the different staff responsible for preparing and filing the EEO-5. The EEOC's revised burden estimate reflects that the bulk of the work in biennially preparing an EEO-5 report is performed by computer support specialists, executive administrative staff, and payroll and human resource professionals; the revised estimate also includes time spent by school district finance professionals and superintendents who, in a few cases, may consult briefly during the reporting process. The revised estimates reflect input obtained by the EEOC during a limited survey of school districts with varying resource levels and student populations. The school districts provided information on the types of employees that participate in preparation of the EEO-5 report and the amount of time spent by each type of employee. After accounting for the time spent by the various employees who have a role in preparing an EEO-5, the EEOC estimates that a school district will spend 17.07 hours to prepare the report, and estimates that the aggregate biennial hour burden for all respondents is 102,839.32. The cost associated with the burden hours was calculated using median hourly wage rates obtained from the Department of Labor \2\ for each job identified above as participating in the submission of the survey; the burden hour cost per school district will be approximately $539.57, while the estimated total biennial burden cost for all 6,024 school districts will be $3,250,361.25 (See Table 1 \3\). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \2\ Median hourly wage rates were obtained from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (see U.S. Dept. of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Outlook Handbook, http://www/bls.gov/ooh/). \3\ Figures shown in table have been rounded.

As a result, more respondents are using this filing method. This development, along with the greater availability of human resource information software, is expected to significantly reduce the actual burden of reporting. The Commission continues to develop more reliable estimates of reporting burdens given the significant increase in electronic filing and explore new approaches to make such reporting even less burdensome. In order to help reduce survey burden, respondents are encouraged to report data electronically, whenever possible. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \4\ The figures in this column were calculated by multiplying the figures in the Hourly Wage Rate column by those in the Burden Hours Per District Column. \5\ The figures in this column were calculated by multiplying the figures in the Burden Hours Per District column by 6,024, the total number of respondents. \6\ The figures in this column were calculated by multiplying the figures in the Burden Hour Cost Per District column by 6,024, the total number of respondents. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dated: April 14, 2017.
