Abstract:
EEOC and OFCCP regulations require private employers with 100 or more employees and certain federal contractors with 50 or more employees to submit an EEO-1 report; to comply with this requirement, employers must collect and retain in their records data about employees’ ethnicity, race, and sex by job category (demographic data), and report this information to EEOC annually. EEO-1 data is collected on behalf of both agencies pursuant to the EEOC’s authority under Title VII and OFCCP’s authority under Executive Order 11246. The EEOC and OFCCP use this information to enforce civil rights laws. The data is shared with state and local Fair Employment Practices Agencies under the authority of section 709(d) of Title VII, and with the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), subject to their agreement to comply with the confidentiality provisions of 42 U.S.C. 2000e–8(e). The EEOC and OFCCP propose to revise the EEO-1 report to collect W-2 (Box 1) and hours-worked data, as well as the demographic data collected on the currently-approved EEO-1. The pay data will be used to assess pay disparities based on job category, pay bands, and gender, ethnicity, or race. This proposed change will take effect beginning with the 2017 reporting cycle.

Burden Reduction Due to:
Short Statement:
The increase in burden is due to two factors: a change in burden calculation methodology and a revision to the EEO-1 report that increases the amount of data filers must submit. (1) First, the EEOC has revised its method of calculating burden, in part based upon increased use of technology in the EEO-1 reporting process, and in part due to public comment received during the 60-day period. Rather than estimating burden based on the number of cells in an EEO-1 report and the time needed to fill in each cell, the EEOC is now focusing on the tasks a filer must perform to complete an EEO-1 report, and estimating the time spent on these tasks. While many of these tasks will be performed at the headquarters level, the revised burden estimates also account for the need to perform certain tasks at the establishment level on a per-report basis. This new methodology resulted in an increased burden relative to previous estimates. (2) Second, the addition of pay data to the EEO-1 will result in an increase in time needed to complete the report. Based upon comments received from the public, we estimate that the addition of pay data will increase filers' time spent on the report by a factor of 1.9. Therefore, the total burden has increased due to a change in methodology used to estimate burden and due to the addition of pay data to the EEO-1 report and associated increase in time needed to prepare the report.
