EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION

Agency Information Collection Activities: Existing Collection; 
Emergency Extension

AGENCY: Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

ACTION: Notice of Information Collection--Emergency Extension Without 
Change: Elementary-Secondary Staff Information Report (EEO-5).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act, the Equal 
Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC or Commission) announces that 
it submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for 
a three-year extension of the Elementary-Secondary Staff Information 
Report (EEO-5) to be effective after the current January 31, 2011 
expiration date.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ronald Edwards, Director, Program 
Research and Surveys Division, 131 M Street, NE., Room 4SW30F, 
Washington, DC 20507; (202) 663-4958 (voice) or (202) 663-7063 (TTY).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Elementary and secondary public school 
systems and districts have been required to submit EEO-5 reports to 
EEOC since 1974 (biennially in even-numbered years since 1982). Since 
1996, each public school district or system has submitted all of the 
district data on a single form, EEOC Form 168A. The individual school 
form, EEOC Form 168B, was eliminated in 1996, reducing the respondent 
burden and cost.

    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 prescribing the 
reporting requirements for elementary and secondary public school 
districts. 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 estimated number of respondents included in 
the biennial EEO-5 survey is 7,155 public elementary and secondary 
school districts. The form is estimated to impose 10,000 burden hours 
biennially.

    Dated: December 22, 2010.

    For the Commission.
