Supplementary Information
Collection Title: Elementary-Secondary Staff Information Report EEO-5. OMB Number: 0346-0003. Frequency of Report: Biennial. Type of Respondent: Public elementary and secondary school districts with 100 or more employees. Description of Affected Public: State and Local government. Number of Responses: 5,000. Reporting Hours: 12,000. Federal Cost: $80,000. Number of Forms: 1. Abstract: Section 709(c) of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 requires employers to make and keep records relevant to a determination of whether unlawful employment practices have been or are being committed and to make reports therefrom as required by the EEOC. Pursuant to that section, the EEOC has issued regulations which set forth the reporting requirement for various kinds of employers. Public elementary and secondary schools systems and districts have been required to submit EEO-5 reports to EEOC since 1974 (biennially in even numbered years since 1982). Since 1996 each school district or system has submitted all of the district data on a single form, EEOC Form 168A. The individual school form, EEOC Form 168B, was discontinued in 1996, greatly reducing the respondent burden and cost. EEO-5 data are used by the EEOC to investigate charges of employment discrimination against public elementary and secondary school districts. The data are used to support EEOC decisions and conciliations, and for research. The data are shared with the Department of Education (Office for Civil Rights and the National Center for Education Statistics) and the Department of Justice. Pursuant to Section 709(d) of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, EEO-5 data are also shared with State and local Fair Employment Practices Agencies. Burden Statement: The estimated number of respondents included in the EEO-5 collection is 5,000 public elementary and secondary school districts. The number of responses per respondent is one (1) report. The annual number of responses is approximately 5,000 and the total hours per response is between one (1) and five (5) hours. Based upon the large number of school districts responding via diskette, the total number of response hours is estimated to equal 12,000 each time the survey is conducted (i.e. biennially). Respondents are encouraged to report data on electronic media such as magnetic tapes and diskettes.
