Collection of
EEO-1 data during FY 1983 is not approved on the following grounds:
1) EEOC has not demonstrated a need to collect data on an annual
basis--a biennial data collection should serve EEOC and OFCCP
needs, 2)EEOC has apparantly not been able to make full use of data
collected during FY 1982, 3) in view of 1) and2) above, the burden
imposed upon employers is unnecessary and excessive. Under this
action, EEOC may be considered to have approval to collect EEO-1
data during FY 1984 and in succeeding even-numbered fiscal
years.
