This submission reflects changes that only minimally reduce the burden hours to incorporate electronic submission instead of the more timely and cumbersome paper submission process. There is also only minimal change (anticipated decrease) in the submission process for reporting requirements given that electronic submission is required and the number of submission pages has decreased. The Private Enforcement Initiative requires completion and submission of an enforcement log. The enforcement log is a part of the narrative reporting. In addition, to capture data on enforcement activity outside of the Enforcement Log, the Department modified 3 forms A.(Types of Closures), B (Bases and Issues in Tests) and C (Bases and Issues of Reports of Discrimination).
