Overview of Information Collection
Collection Title: Local Union Report
(EEO–3).
OMB Number: 3046–0006.
Frequency of Report: Biennial.
Type of Respondent: Local referral
unions with 100 or more members.
Description of Affected Public: Local
referral unions and independent or
unaffiliated referral unions and similar
labor organizations.
Responses: 1,036.
Biennial Reporting Hours: 2,123.8.
Biennial Burden Hour Cost:
$87,588.10.
Biennial Federal Cost: $81,935.
Number of Forms: 1.
Form Number: EEOC Form 274.
Abstract: Section 709(c) of title VII of
the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as
amended, 42 U.S.C. 2000e–8(c), requires
labor organizations to make and keep
records relevant to a determination of
whether unlawful employment practices
have been or are being committed and
to produce reports from the data. The
EEOC issued regulations requiring local
referral unions with 100 or more
members to submit EEO–3 reports. The
individual reports are confidential. The
EEOC uses EEO–3 data to investigate
charges of discrimination and for
research.
Burden Statement: The EEOC has
updated its methodology for calculating
annual burden to reflect the different

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 177 / Tuesday, September 13, 2016 / Notices

staff that are responsible for preparing
and filing the EEO–3. The EEOC now
accounts for time to be spent biennially
on EEO–3 reporting by business agents
and administrative staff, as well as time
spent by attorneys who, in a few cases,
may consult briefly during the reporting
process. The estimated number of

respondents included in the biennial
EEO–3 survey is 1,036 referral unions,
as this is the number of filers from the
2014 reporting cycle. The estimated
hour burden per report will be 2.05
hours, and the estimated total biennial
respondent burden hours will be
2,123.8. Burden hour cost was

calculated using median hourly wage
rates for administrative staff and legal
counsel, and average hourly wage rates
for labor union business agents.1 The
burden hour cost per report will be
$84.54, and the estimated total biennial
burden hour cost will be $87,588.10.

These estimates are based on an
assumption of paper reporting.
However, the EEOC has made electronic
filing much easier for respondents
required to file the EEO–3 Report. As a
result, more respondents are using this
filing method. This development, along
with the greater availability of human
resource information software, is
expected to significantly reduce the
actual burden of reporting. The
Commission continues to develop more
reliable estimates of reporting burdens
given the significant increase in
electronic filing and explore new
approaches to make such reporting even
less burdensome. In order to help
reduce survey burden, respondents are
encouraged to report data electronically
whenever possible.
Dated: September 2, 2016.
For the Commission.

Chair.
