SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:   
    Collection Title: State and Local Government Information (EEO-4).
    OMB Number: 3046-0008.
    Frequency of Report: Biennial.
    Type of Respondent: State and local government jurisdictions with 
100 or more full-time employees.
    Description of Affected Public: State and local governments 
excluding elementary and secondary public school districts.
    Number of Responses: 10,000.
    Reporting Hours: 40,000.
    Number of Forms: 1.
    Federal Cost: $47,000.
    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 and to make reports 
therefrom as required by the EEOC. Accordingly, the EEOC has issued 
regulations which set forth the reporting requirements for various 
kinds of employers. State and local governments with 100 or more full-
time employees have been required to submit EEO-4 reports since 1973 
(biennially in odd-numbered years since 1993). The individual reports 
are confidential.
    EEO-4 data are used by the EEOC to investigate charges of 
discrimination against state and local governments. In addition, the 
data are used to support EEOC decisions and conciliations, and for 
research. The data are shared with several other Federal government 
agencies. Pursuant to section 709(d) of Title VII of the Civil Rights 
Act of 1964, as amended, EEO-4 data are also shared with 86 State and 
Local Fair Employment Practices Agencies (FEPAs). Aggregated data are 
also used by researchers and the general public.
    Burden Statement: The estimated number of respondents included in 
the EEO-4 survey is 5,000 state and local governments. The estimated 
number of responses per respondent is approximately 2 EEO-4 reports and 
the reporting burden averages between 1 and 5 hours per response, 
including the time needed to review instructions, search existing data 
sources, gather and maintain the data, and complete and review the 
collection of information. The total number of responses is thus 10,000 
reports while the total burden is estimated to be 40,000 hours, 
including recordkeeping burden. In order to help reduce burden, 
respondents are encouraged to report data on electronic media such as 
magnetic tapes and diskettes.

    Dated: June 7, 2000.

    For the Commission.
Ida L. Castro,
Chairwoman.
