SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act and
OMB regulation 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), the

Collection Title: ElementarySecondary Staff Information Report
(EEO–5).
OMB Number: 3046–0003.
Frequency of Report: Biennial, even
years.
Type of Respondent: Public
elementary and secondary school
systems or districts with 100 or more
employees within the 50 U.S. states and
District of Columbia.
Description of Affected Public: Public
elementary and secondary school
systems or districts with 100 or more
employees within the 50 U.S. states and
District of Columbia.
Responses: 7082 per biennial
collection.
Reporting Hours: 120,901.07 per
biennial collection.
Burden Hour Cost: $4,055,001.76 per
biennial collection.
Federal Cost: $240,120.85 per

Number of Forms: 1.
Form Number: EEOC Form 168A.
Abstract: Section 709(c) of Title VII of
the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as
amended, 42 U.S.C. 2000e-8(c), requires
employers to make and keep records
relevant to a determination of whether
unlawful employment practices have
been or are being committed, to preserve
such records, and to produce reports as
the Commission prescribes by
regulation or order. Accordingly, the
EEOC issued regulations, 29 CFR
1602.39 and .41-.45, prescribing the
reporting and related record retention
requirements for public elementary and
secondary school systems or districts.
29 CFR 1602.39 requires school districts

1 Median hourly wage rates were obtained from
the Bureau of Labor Statistics (see U.S. Dept. of

Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational
Outlook Handbook, http://www/bls.gov/ooh/).

to make or keep all records necessary for
completion of an EEO–5 submission and
retain those records for three years. 29
CFR 1602.41 requires EEO–5 filers to
retain a copy of each filed EEO–5 report
for three years. These requirements are
related to record keeping which is part
of standard administrative practices,
and as a result, the EEOC believes that
any impact on burden would be
negligible and nearly impossible to
quantify. Public elementary and
secondary school systems or districts
with 100 or more employees within the
50 U.S. states and District of Columbia
were required to submit EEO–5 reports
annually from 1974 to 1981 and then
biennially in even years from 1982 to
the present. The individual reports are
confidential. The EEOC uses EEO–5
data to investigate charges of
employment discrimination against
public elementary and secondary school
systems or districts. The data are also
used for research. The data are shared
with the Department of Education
(Office for Civil Rights) and the
Department of Justice.
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
human resource professionals; the
revised estimate also includes time
spent by school district finance
professionals and superintendents who,
in a few cases, may consult briefly
during the reporting process. After
accounting for the time spent by the
various employees who have a role in
preparing an EEO–5, the EEOC
estimates that a school district will
spend 17.07 hours to prepare the report
and estimates that the aggregate biennial
hour burden for all respondents is
120,901.07. The cost associated with the
burden hours was calculated using
hourly wage rates obtained from the
Department of Labor 1 for each job
identified above as participating in the
submission of the report; using those
rates, we estimate that the burden hour
cost per school district will be
approximately $572.58, while the
estimated total biennial burden cost for
all 7,082 school districts will be
$4,055,001.76 (See Table 1 for
calculations).

Note: Burden Hours per district were determined through interviews with a stratified heterogeneous mixture of school districts used to estimate
burden, as approved in the 2018 Paperwork Reduction Act.
aBurden Hours are rounded to the tenth decimal place in this publication.

Estimates are based on the
assumption of some paper reporting.
During the 2018 EEO–5 filing period,
the EEOC experienced a 49.8 percent
increase in paper filing since the 2016
EEO–5 report filing. Despite the
increase, paper filing represents 3.3
percent of total reports received in 2018.
Electronic filing remains the most
efficient, accurate, and secure means of
reporting for respondents required to
submit the EEO–5 report. The EEOC has
made electronic filing much easier for
respondents required to file the EEO–5
Report and as a result, more
respondents are using this electronic
filing method. Accordingly, the EEOC
will continue to encourage EEO–5 filers
to submit data through electronic filing,
and will only accept paper records from
filers who have secured permission to
submit data via paper submission.
For the Commission.
Janet Dhillon,
Chair.
