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 job 

applications 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

research/data.html#us. 

Title VII-covered employers. We expect 

that 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.
