Abstract: Under the provision of Title 23 U.S.C. Part 140(a), the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is required to ensure equal opportunity in contractorsƒ­ employment practices on federal-aid highway projects. To implement this provision of the law, FHWA regulation, 23 CFR 230, Subpart A requires that contractors submit to State Departments of Transportation (State DOTs) an annual report providing employment workforce data, which includes the number of minorities, women, and non-minority group employees in each construction craft. The information is reported on Form PR-1391, Federal-Aid Highway Construction Contractors Annual EEO Report (Attachment A). The regulation also requires State DOTs to submit an annual report to FHWA summarizing PR-1391 data. This summary is provided on Form PR-1392, Federal-aid Highway Construction, and Summary of Employment Data. This information collection supports the DOT Strategic Goal of Economic Growth and Trade by contributing to ongoing efforts for a diverse and effective workforce.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: For the Burden associated with Form PR-1391, FHWA estimates that there are 7,900 Federal-aid contractors who will be required to complete Form PR-1391 annually, this is an increase of 3,348. In addition, there will be an increase of 900 annual submissions (7,900 from 7,000) from contractors over the currently approved collection. The time associated with completing each form has not changed. However, the program has changed in that the contactors only submit the form annually verses for each project on our last submission. Thus, an overall increase of 450 burden hours from the previous submission. The burden associated with Form PR-1392 has not changed.
