www.regulations.gov all comments
submitted via this Web site, in hard
copy, or by fax to the Executive
Secretariat. These comments will be

However, the EEOC reserves the right to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
EEOC’s Demographic Information on
Federal Job Applicants form (OMB No.
3046–0046) is intended for use by
federal agencies in gathering data on the
race, ethnicity, sex, and disability status
of job applicants. This form is used by
the EEOC and other agencies to gauge
progress and trends over time with
respect to equal employment
opportunity goals.
Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, and

PO 00000

Frm 00031

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

OMB regulation 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), the
Commission sought public comment on
extending its form without change
through a 60-day notice published
October 20, 2016. Comments were
invited on whether this collection
would continue to enable it 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.
One comment was received. The
commenter was concerned that there is
a severe under reporting in the federal
government because both OPM’s ‘‘Self
Identification of Disability’’ SF256 Form
and the ‘‘Demographic Information on
Federal Job Applicants’’ form fail to
consider the individual’s privacy. The
commenter believes that anonymous
collection of this data would result in a
more accurate representation for all
groups.
With respect to the Demographic
Information on Federal Job Applicants
form, EEOC believes that anonymity is
addressed, as the form states in its first
paragraph that it is not placed in the
individual’s personnel file or forwarded
to the panel rating the applications, the
selecting official, or anyone else that can
affect the application. EEOC cannot
address the comment as it relates to
OPM’s Form 256.
Overview of This Information
Collection
Collection Title: Demographic
Information on Federal Job Applicants.
OMB Control No.: 3046–0046.
Description of Affected Public:
Individuals submitting applications for
federal employment.
Number of Annual Responses: 5,800.

Estimated Time per Response: 3

Total Annual Burden Hours: 290.1
Annual Federal Cost: None.
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 an extension of the
approval 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 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. The voluntary
responses are treated in a highly
confidential manner and play no part in
the job selection process. 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
applicants will choose to complete the
form.
Dated: February 23, 2017.
For the Commission.

Acting Chair.
