Pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
and OMB regulation 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1),
the Commission solicits public
comment to enable it to:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

(1) Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
Commission’s functions, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the
Commission’s estimate of the burden of

(4) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who

appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.

The EEOC uses EEO–5 data to
investigate charges of employment
discrimination against elementary and
secondary public school districts. The
data also are used for research. The data
are shared with the Department of
Education (Office for Civil Rights) and
the Department of Justice. Pursuant to
Section 709(d) of Title VII of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964, as amended, EEO–
5 data also are shared with state and
local Fair Employment Practices
Agencies (FEPAs).
Burden Statement: The EEOC has
updated its methodology for calculating
annual burden to reflect the different
staff responsible for preparing and filing
the EEO–5. The EEOC’s revised burden
estimate reflects that the bulk of the
work in biennially preparing an EEO–5
report is performed by computer
support specialists, executive
administrative staff, and payroll and

The EEOC has made electronic filing
much easier for respondents required to
file the EEO–5 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 reportdata electronically,
whenever possible.

Summary: The Commission will consider an Order on Reconsideration that would
amend the construction project limitation within section 54.303 of the Commission’s rules to permit carriers to report, for universal service purposes, capital expenses per location up to the established per-location per-project limit, rather than

Summary: The Commission will consider a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, Notice
of Inquiry, and Request for Comment that would propose to remove regulatory
barriers to infrastructure investment, suggest changes to speed the transition from
copper networks and legacy services to next-generation networks and services
dependent on fiber, and propose to reform Commission regulations that are raising costs and slowing, rather than facilitating, broadband deployment.
