SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July
26, 2010, President Obama issued
Executive Order 13548, which directs
Executive departments and agencies
(hereafter ‘‘agencies’’) to improve their
efforts to employ Federal workers with
disabilities through increased
recruitment, hiring, and retention of
these individuals. OPM, in consultation
with the White House (including the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB)), the Department of Labor (DOL),
and the EEOC has developed, as
required by the EO 13548, model
recruitment and hiring strategies for
agencies to use to increase their
employment of individuals with
disabilities. (http://www.chcoc.gov/
transmittals/TransmittalDetails.aspx?
TransmittalID=3228#Attachment1) The
strategies include collecting,
maintaining, and analyzing applicant
flow data and examining existing
recruitment programs and hiring
practices to identify and eliminate any
barriers to recruiting/hiring individuals
with disabilities and, in particular,
individuals with targeted disabilities.
This Notice concerns revising the
form (OMB No. 3046–0046) for the use
by federal agencies in gathering data on
the race, ethnicity, and sex of job
applicants. This form is used by EEOC
and other agencies to gauge progress
and trends over time with respect to
equal employment opportunity goals.
The revision would add disability status
of applicants to the collection, thereby
allowing the agencies and EEOC to track
progress toward meeting the recruitment
and hiring strategies developed
pursuant to EO 13548. The race and
ethnicity categories in this form are
consistent with the standards set by the
Office of Management and Budget .1 The
questions on disability and medical
impairments are designed to allow
federal agencies and the EEOC to
determine the percentage of applicants

to Federal jobs who might be considered
‘‘individuals with disabilities’’ under
various approaches to defining the term.
Among other things, the disability
questions are designed to analyze the
frequency with which people with
‘‘targeted disabilities’’ apply for
positions with an agency, compare the
percentage of applicants with functional
disabilities to the percentage of working
age people with such disabilities as
recorded by the Census Bureau, and
examine the number of applicants with
medical impairments consistent with
the Americans with Disabilities Act
Amendments Act and the Rehabilitation
Act.
Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, and
OMB regulation 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), the
Commission solicits public comment on
revising its form for use by federal
agencies in gathering demographic
information on applicants for federal
employment. Comments are particularly
invited on whether this collection of
information will enable the Commission
and federal agencies to:
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed
data collection tool will have practical
utility by enabling a federal agency to
determine whether recruitment
activities are effectively reaching all
segments of the relevant labor pool in
compliance with the laws enforced by
the Commission and whether the
agency’s selection procedures allow all
applicants to compete on a level playing
field regardless of race, national origin,
sex or disability status;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on applicants
for federal employees who choose to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.

Abstract: Under section 717 of Title
VII and 501 of the Rehabilitation Act,
the Commission is charged with
reviewing and approving federal
agencies plans to affirmatively address
potential discrimination before it
occurs. Pursuant to such oversight
responsibilities, the Commission has
established systems to monitor
compliance with Title VII and the
Rehabilitation Act by requiring federal
agencies to evaluate their employment
practices through the collection and
analysis of data on the race, national
origin, sex and disability status of
applicants for both permanent and
temporary employment.
Several federal agencies (or
components of such agencies) have
previously obtained separate OMB
approval for the use of forms collecting
data on the race, national origin, sex,
and disability status of applicants. In
order to avoid unnecessary duplication
of effort and a proliferation of forms, the
EEOC seeks approval for the use of a
common form to be used by all federal
agencies.
Response by applicants is optional.
The information obtained will be used
by federal agencies only for evaluating
whether an agency’s recruitment
activities are effectively reaching all
segments of the relevant labor pool, to
gauge progress and trends over time
with respect to equal opportunity goals,
and to track progress toward meeting
the recruitment and hiring strategies
developed pursuant to EO 13548. The
voluntary responses are treated in a
highly confidential and anonymous
manner, are not shared with those
involved in the selection process or the
supervisor (if the person is hired) and
will not be placed in the employees’
personnel file. The information is not
provided to any panel rating the
applications, to selecting officials, to
anyone who can affect the application
or to the public. Rather, the information
is used in summary form to determine
trends over many selections within a
given occupational or organization area.
No information from the form is entered
into an official personnel file.
Burden Statement: Because of the
predominant use of online application
systems, which require only pointing
and clicking on the selected responses,
and because the form requests only
eight questions regarding basic
information, the EEOC estimates that an
applicant can complete the form in
approximately 3 minutes or less. Based
on past experience, we expect that 5,800

E:\FR\FM\15FEN1.SGM

15FEN1

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 32 / Friday, February 15, 2013 / Notices
applicants will choose to complete the
form.
Once OMB approves the use of this
common form, federal agencies may
request OMB approval to use this

common form without having to publish
notices and request public comments for
60 and 30 days. Each agency must
account for the burden associated with
their use of the common form.
