**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 
Introduction

A notice that EEOC would be submitting this request to the Office of Management and budget for a three-year approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) was published in the Federal Register on August 3, 2011, allowing for a 60 day comment period. 76 FR 46805 (Aug. 3, 2011).

EEOC received one comment in response to the August 2011 notice. The comment raises issues and concerns about the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures themselves and about their recordkeeping provisions. The comment argues that the Uniform Guidelines are merely advisory, not mandatory, and notes that the Department of Labor’s Office of Contract Compliance Programs requests applicant information during compliance evaluations, suggesting that such requests qualify as a reporting requirement. The comment does not address the August 2011 Paperwork Reduction Act notice itself or EEOC’s calculations in the burden statement.

Overview of Collection

Collection Title: Recordkeeping Requirements of the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures, 29 CFR part 1607, 41 CFR part 60–3, 28 CFR part 50, 5 CFR part 300. OMB Number: 3046–0017. Type of Respondent: Businesses or other institutions; Federal Government; State or local governments and farms.

North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code: Multiple.

Standard Industrial Classification Code (SIC): Multiple.

Description of Affected Public: Any employer, Government contractor, labor organization, or employment agency covered by the Federal equal employment opportunity laws.

Respondents: 899,580. Responses: 899,580. Recordkeeping Hours: 10,783,687 per
year.

Number of Forms: None.
Form Number: None. Frequency of Report: None.
Abstract: The Uniform Guidelines provide fundamental guidance for all Title VII-covered employers about the use of employment selection procedures. The records addressed by UGESP are used by respondents to assure that they are complying with Title VII and Executive Order 11246; by the Federal agencies that enforce Title VII and Executive Order 11246 to investigate, conciliate, and litigate charges of employment discrimination; and by complainants to establish violations of Federal equal employment opportunity laws. While there is no data available to quantify these benefits, the collection of accurate applicant flow data enhances each employer’s ability to address any deficiencies in recruitment and selection processes, including detecting barriers to equal employment opportunity.

Burden Statement: There are no reporting requirements associated with UGESP. The burden being estimated is the cost of collecting and storing a job applicant’s gender, race, and ethnicity data. The only paperwork burden derives from this recordkeeping.

Only employers covered under Title VII and Executive Order 11246 are subject to UGESP. For the purpose of burden calculation, employers with 15 or more employees are counted. The number of such employers is estimated at 899,580, which combines estimates from private employment, 1 the public sector, 2 colleges and universities, 3 and referral unions. 4

This burden assessment is based on an estimate of the number of jobapplications submitted to all Title VIIcovered employers in one year, including paper-based and electronic applications. The total number of job applications submitted every year to covered employers is estimated to be 1,294,042,500, which is based on a National Organizations Survey 5 average of approximately 35 applications for every hire and a Bureau of Labor Statistics data estimate of 36,731,900 annual hires. 6 It includes 161,300 applicants for union membership reported on the EEO–3 form for 2008.

The employer burden associated with collecting and storing applicant demographic data is based on the following assumptions: applicants would need to be asked to provide three pieces of information—sex, race/ ethnicity, and an identification number (a total of approximately 13 keystrokes); the employer would need to transfer information received to a database either manually or electronically; and the employer would need to store the 13 characters of information for each applicant. Recordkeeping costs and burden are assumed to be the cost of entering 13 keystrokes.

Assuming that the required recordkeeping takes 30 seconds per record, and assuming a total of 1,294,042,500 paper and electronic applications per year (as calculated above), the resulting UGESP burden hours would be 10,783,687. Based on a wage rate of $13.65 per hour for the individuals entering the data, the collection and storage of applicant demographic data would come to approximately $147,197,332 per year for

7 See Firm Size Data at http://sba.gov/advo/ research/data.html#us. Title VII-covered employers. We expectthat the foregoing assumptions are overinclusive, because many employers have electronic job application processes that should be able to capture applicant flow data automatically.

While the burden hours and costs for the UGESP recordkeeping requirement seem very large, the average burden per employer is relatively small. We estimate that UGESP applies to 899,580 employers, approximately 822,000 of which are small firms (entities with 15– 500 employees) according to data provided by the Small Business Administration Office of Advocacy. 7 If we assume that a firm with 250 employees (in the mid-range of the 822,000 small employers) has 20 job openings per year and receives an average of 35 applications per job opening, the burden hours to collect and store applicants’ sex and race/ethnicity data would be 5.8 hours per year, and the costs would be $79.11 per year. Similarly, if we assume that an employer with 1,500 employees has 125 job openings to fill each year, and receives 35 applications per opening, the burden hours would be 36.5 hours per year and the annual costs would be $498.23.
