SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
EEOC’s Demographic Information on
Applicants (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.
On March 8, 2023, the Commission
published a 60-Day Notice informing
the public of its intent to request from
OMB an extension without change of
the information collection requirements
associated with a Commission form
(Demographic Information on
Applicants OMB No. 3046–0046). 88 FR

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 110 / Thursday, June 8, 2023 / Notices
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44
U.S.C. chapter 35, and OMB regulation
5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), the Commission
solicited public comment 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.
The Commission received three
comments unrelated to these topics.

Total Annual Burden Hours (EEOC
only): 455.2
Annual Federal Cost: None.

1 Each agency is responsible for its own burden
estimates.
2 This total is calculated as follows: 9,092 annual
responses from EEOC applicants × 3 minutes per
response = 27,276 minutes. 27,276/60 = 455 hours
each year and approximately 1,364 hours for the
three-year period.

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.
While several federal agencies (or
components of such agencies) have
obtained OMB approval for the use of
forms collecting data on the race,
national origin, sex, and disability status
of applicants, it is not an efficient use
of government resources for each federal
agency to separately seek OMB
approval. Accordingly, to avoid
unnecessary duplication of effort and a
proliferation of forms, the EEOC seeks
approval of a form to be used by federal
agencies.
Response by applicants is completely
optional. The information obtained will
be provided in the form of aggregate
data and 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 provided by applicants are
treated in a highly confidential manner
and play no part in the selection of the
individual for employment. 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.

The present Notice is for a three-year
extension without change to the
Commission’s existing form for
collecting voluntary demographic
information from federal applicants.
The Commission remains engaged in
interagency discussions about equitable
data collection, including (a) the Federal
Interagency Technical Working Group
on Race and Ethnicity Standards
convened by OMB; and (b) the
Subcommittee on Sexual Orientation,
Gender Identity, and Variations in Sex
Characteristics convened by the
National Science and Technology
Council’s Subcommittee on Equitable
Data. As the work of those groups
continues, the Commission may seek
authorization from OMB, pursuant to
the Paperwork Reduction Act, to amend
the race, ethnicity, and/or sex questions
on the Demographic Information on
Applicants form.
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
seven 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 9,092
applicants will choose to complete the
form for vacancies at the EEOC
annually.
Upon approval of this common form
by OMB, federal agencies may request
OMB approval to use this common form
without having to publish notices and
request public comments for 60 and 30
days. Each agency must account for the
burden associated with their use of the
common form.3
For the Commission.
Dated: June 5, 2023.

Chair, Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission.
