Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 14 / Tuesday, January 24, 2017 / Notices
have been or are being committed and
to produce reports from the data. The
EEOC issued regulations requiring
referral local 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
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. As shown in Table 1 below, we
estimate that Secretaries/Administrative
Assistants and Business Agents will
each spend 1 hour per report, and Legal
Counsel will spend .05 hour per report.
The estimated number of respondents
included in the biennial EEO–3 survey
is 1,075 referral unions, as this is the
number of filers from the 2014 reporting
cycle. Table 1, below, was utilized to
quantify estimates of the annual burden

of EEO–3 survey respondents. 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.2 The estimated hour
burden per report will be 2.05 hours,
and the estimated total biennial
respondent burden hours will be
2,203.75. The burden hour cost per
respondent will be $84.54, and the
estimated total biennial burden hour
cost for all respondents will be
$90,885.34. (See Table 1 for
calculations.)

Estimated burden hours were
calculated by multiplying the number of
reports expected to be filed biennially
(1,075 in 2014) by the estimated average
time to complete and submit each report
(2.05 hours). 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 jurisdictions are using this
filing method. This development, along
with the greater availability of human
resource information software, is
expected to have significantly reduced
the actual burden of reporting, but
empirical data in this area is lacking.
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.
