Overview of Information Collection 

Collection Title: Employer 

Information Report (EEO–1). 

OMB Number: 3046–0007. 

Frequency of Report: Annual. 

Type of Respondent: Private 

employers with 100 or more employees 

and certain federal government 

contractors and first-tier subcontractors 

with 50 or more employees. 

Description of Affected Public: Private 

employers with 100 or more employees 

and certain federal government 

contractors and first-tier subcontractors 

with 50 or more employees. 

Reporting Hours: 599,000. 

Respondent Cost: $11.4 million. 

Federal Cost: $2.1 million. 

Number of Forms: 1. 

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 

EEO–1 reporting requirement. 

Employers in the private sector with 100 

or more employees and some federal 

contractors with 50 or more employees 

have been required to submit EEO–1 

reports annually since 1966. The 

individual reports are confidential. 

EEO–1 data is used by EEOC to 

investigate charges of employment 

discrimination against employers in 

private industry and to provide 

information about the employment 

status of minorities and women. The 

data is shared with the Office of Federal 

Contract Compliance Programs 

(OFCCP), U.S. Department of Labor, and 

several other Federal agencies. Pursuant 

to § 709(d) of Title VII of the Civil Rights 

Act of 1964, as amended, EEO–1 data is 

also shared with state and local Fair 

Employment Practices Agencies 

(FEPAs). 

Burden Statement: The estimated 

number of respondents included in the 

annual EEO–1 survey is 45,000 private 

employers. The estimated number of 

establishment-based responses per 

reporting company is between three and 

four EEO–1 reports annually. The 

annual number of responses is 

approximately 170,000. The form is 

estimated to impose 599,000 burden 

hours annually. In order to help reduce 

survey burden, respondents are 

encouraged to report data electronically 

whenever possible. 

Dated: January 31, 2011. 

For the Commission. 

Jacqueline A. Berrien, 

Chair.
