Introduction
A notice that EEOC would be
submitting this request to the Office of
Management and budget for a three-year
approval under the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) was published in
the Federal Register on August 3, 2011,
allowing for a 60 day comment period.
76 FR 46805 (Aug. 3, 2011).
EEOC received one comment in
response to the August 2011 notice. The
comment raises issues and concerns
about the Uniform Guidelines on
Employee Selection Procedures
themselves and about their
recordkeeping provisions. The comment
argues that the Uniform Guidelines are
merely advisory, not mandatory, and
notes that the Department of Labor’s
Office of Contract Compliance Programs
requests applicant information during
compliance evaluations, suggesting that
such requests qualify as a reporting
requirement. The comment does not
address the August 2011 Paperwork
Reduction Act notice itself or EEOC’s
calculations in the burden statement.

Requirements of the Uniform Guidelines

OMB Number: 3046–0017.
Type of Respondent: Businesses or
other institutions; Federal Government;
State or local governments and farms.
North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS) Code:
Multiple.
Standard Industrial Classification
Code (SIC): Multiple.
Description of Affected Public: Any
employer, Government contractor, labor
organization, or employment agency
covered by the Federal equal
employment opportunity laws.
Respondents: 899,580.
Responses: 899,580.
Recordkeeping Hours: 10,783,687 per
year.
Number of Forms: None.
Form Number: None.
Frequency of Report: None.
Abstract: The Uniform Guidelines
provide fundamental guidance for all
Title VII-covered employers about the
use of employment selection
procedures. The records addressed by
UGESP are used by respondents to
assure that they are complying with
Title VII and Executive Order 11246; by
the Federal agencies that enforce Title
VII and Executive Order 11246 to
investigate, conciliate, and litigate
charges of employment discrimination;
and by complainants to establish
violations of Federal equal employment
opportunity laws. While there is no data
available to quantify these benefits, the
collection of accurate applicant flow
data enhances each employer’s ability to
address any deficiencies in recruitment
and selection processes, including
detecting barriers to equal employment
opportunity.
Burden Statement: There are no
reporting requirements associated with
UGESP. The burden being estimated is
the cost of collecting and storing a job
applicant’s gender, race, and ethnicity
data. The only paperwork burden
derives from this recordkeeping.
Only employers covered under Title
VII and Executive Order 11246 are
subject to UGESP. For the purpose of
burden calculation, employers with 15
or more employees are counted. The
number of such employers is estimated
at 899,580, which combines estimates
from private employment,1 the public

sector,2 colleges and universities,3 and
referral unions.4
This burden assessment is based on
an estimate of the number of job
applications submitted to all Title VIIcovered employers in one year,
including paper-based and electronic
applications. The total number of job
applications submitted every year to
covered employers is estimated to be
1,294,042,500, which is based on a
National Organizations Survey 5 average
of approximately 35 applications for
every hire and a Bureau of Labor
Statistics data estimate of 36,731,900
annual hires.6 It includes 161,300
applicants for union membership
reported on the EEO–3 form for 2008.
The employer burden associated with
collecting and storing applicant
demographic data is based on the
following assumptions: applicants
would need to be asked to provide three
pieces of information—sex, race/
ethnicity, and an identification number
(a total of approximately 13 keystrokes);
the employer would need to transfer
information received to a database
either manually or electronically; and
the employer would need to store the 13
characters of information for each
applicant. Recordkeeping costs and
burden are assumed to be the cost of
entering 13 keystrokes.
Assuming that the required
recordkeeping takes 30 seconds per
record, and assuming a total of
1,294,042,500 paper and electronic
applications per year (as calculated
above), the resulting UGESP burden
hours would be 10,783,687. Based on a
wage rate of $13.65 per hour for the
individuals entering the data, the
collection and storage of applicant
demographic data would come to
approximately $147,197,332 per year for
2 ‘‘Government Employment & Payroll’’ (statistics
on number of federal, state, and local government
civilian employees and their gross payrolls for
March 2008); ‘‘2008 State & Local Government’’
(data for 50 state governments and all local
governments); Individual Government Data File
(http://www.census.gov/govs/apes/indes.html2010). The number of government entities was
adjusted to only include those with 15 or more
employees.

Title VII-covered employers. We expect
that the foregoing assumptions are overinclusive, because many employers
have electronic job application
processes that should be able to capture
applicant flow data automatically.
While the burden hours and costs for
the UGESP recordkeeping requirement
seem very large, the average burden per
employer is relatively small. We
estimate that UGESP applies to 899,580
employers, approximately 822,000 of
which are small firms (entities with 15–
500 employees) according to data
provided by the Small Business
Administration Office of Advocacy.7 If
we assume that a firm with 250
employees (in the mid-range of the
822,000 small employers) has 20 job
openings per year and receives an
average of 35 applications per job
opening, the burden hours to collect and
store applicants’ sex and race/ethnicity
data would be 5.8 hours per year, and
the costs would be $79.11 per year.
Similarly, if we assume that an
employer with 1,500 employees has 125

job openings to fill each year, and
receives 35 applications per opening,
the burden hours would be 36.5 hours
per year and the annual costs would be
$498.23.
