EEOC regulations require Public
Elementary and Secondary School districts with 100 or more
employees to collect and retain in their records demographic
information about their employees, and report this information to
EEOC biennially in even-numbered years. EEOC uses this information
to enforce civil rights laws and shares it Office for Civil Rights
(OCR) of the Department of Education and the U. S. Department of
Justice.
The previous terms of
clearance for the EEO-5 ICR required EEOC to continue working
towards making the race and ethnicity categories on the report
compliant with the 1997 standards for Maintaining, Collecting, and
Presenting Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity (1997 standards).
Compliance with the 1997 standards necessitated a vote by the
Commission to change the race and ethnicity categories on the EEO-5
form. The vote to approve the changes occurred in June 2012 and,
therefore, the EEOC is unable to issue a 60-day and 30-day notice
prior to expiration of the EEO-5 collection on June 30, 2012. Use
of normal clearance procedures would therefore prevent or disrupt
the EEOC's ability to collect the EEO-5 and negatively impact the
EEOC's enforcement activities, as well as the enforcement
activities of the Department of Justice and the Department of
Education's Office of Civil Rights, who also use the data collected
under this ICR.
