OMB requests
that EEOC work closely with OMB to ensure that the collection is
preparing to become fully compliant with upcoming revisions to
OMB's Standards for Maintaining, Collecting, and Presenting Federal
Data on Race and Ethnicity and any associated OMB guidance. OMB
also recommends that EEOC seek the input of affected stakeholders
about any revisions as early as possible, and provide respondents
with ample notice before making revisions in order to minimize
burdens. Finally, OMB expects EEOC to keep it updated about any
possible revisions to this report on a regular basis.

Section 709(c) of Title VII of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII) requires employers to make and
keep records relevant to the 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. Pursuant to this statutory authority, the
EEOC in 1966 issued a regulation requiring certain employers to
file executed copies of the EEO–1 in conformity with the directions
and instructions on the form, which called for reporting employee
data by job category and by sex and race or ethnicity. Pursuant to
Executive Order 11246, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance
Programs (OFCCP), U.S. Department of Labor, in 1978 issued its
regulation describing the EEO–1 as a report ‘‘promulgated jointly
with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’’ and requiring
certain contractors to submit ‘‘complete and accurate reports’’
annually. Under these authorities, private employers with 100 or
more employees and federal contractors that have 50 or more
employees and meet certain criteria are required to report annually
the number of individuals they employ by job category and by sex
and race or ethnicity.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies

1320.8(b)(3).

the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;

benefit, or mandatory);
