AGENCY: Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) 
announces that, until further notice, filers subject to the EEO-1 
reporting requirement should not submit aggregate data about W-2 (Box 
1) income and hours worked, which is the information required by 
``Component 2'' of the EEO-1 report as approved on September 29, 2016. 
However, filers should continue to submit data on the ethnicity, race, 
and sex of workers by job category (``Component 1'' of the EEO-1 
report). This is the same type of EEO-1 data that filers have submitted 
in the past.

DATES: All EEO-1 filers should submit and certify their 2017 EEO-1 
reports (Component 1 data only) by March 31, 2018. They should count 
employees for purposes of this EEO-1 report during a ``workforce 
snapshot period'' between October 1 and December 31, 2017.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ronald Edwards, Director, Program

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 29, 2017, the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) issued a memorandum \1\ informing the EEOC that OMB 
was initiating a review and immediate stay of the effectiveness of a 
portion of the EEO-1 report that was initially approved on September 
29, 2016.\2\ Specifically, OMB initiated a review and immediate stay of 
the portion of the EEO-1 report that required the reporting of 
aggregate W-2 (Box 1) income and hours-worked data by employers 
(including federal contractors) with 100 or more employees. (This is 
called EEO-

1 ``Component 2''.) OMB did not stay the portion of the EEO-1 report 
that requires filers to submit data on the race, ethnicity, and sex of 
their workers, by job category. (EEO-1 ``Component 1'') The EEOC will 
continue to collect EEO-1 Component 1 data from all filers during OMB's 
review and stay.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ OMB's memorandum is available at https://www.reginfo.gov/public/jsp/Utilities/Review_and_Stay_Memo_for_EEOC.pdf.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Thus, pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.10(g), the EEOC hereby announces that, 
until further notice, filers subject to the EEO-1 reporting requirement 
should not submit aggregate W-2 income and hours worked data under 
Component 2 of the EEO-1, but that they should submit data about race, 
ethnicity, and sex, by job category, as required by Component 1 of the 
EEO-1. Filers should follow the EEO-1's new reporting schedule. The
