39238 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 127 / Monday, July 2, 2012 / Notices 

EPA to provide advice, information, and 

recommendations concerning practices 

and programs of ORD, including ORD’s 

research planning process, in 

accordance with provisions of the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act and 

related regulations. In August 2010, the 

BOSC provided comments on the case 

studies workshop (http://www.epa.gov/ 

osp/bosc/pdf/nano1008rpt.pdf). 

The case study documents are 

structured by the comprehensive 

environmental assessment (CEA) 

framework, to systematically organize 

information on the product life cycle, 

environmental fate, exposure-dose, and 

impacts in humans, ecological 

receptors, and the environment. As 

noted above, CEA also includes a 

process component involving decision 

science methods, and this aspect of CEA 

was used in prior workshops to identify 

and prioritize research or information 

needed to assess nanoscale titanium 

dioxide and nanoscale silver, 

respectively. 

The nanomaterial case studies are 

intended to be used in the development 

and refinement of long-term research 

planning efforts for potential human 

health, ecological, and environmental 

risks. Such a comprehensive strategy is 

expected to develop in an evolutionary 

process reflecting adjustments and 

modifications as additional 

nanomaterials are considered and new 

information becomes available. To that 

end, the current case study on 

multiwalled carbon nanotubes 

(MWCNT) builds on previous efforts by 

incorporating a comparative perspective 

with conventional flame-retardant, 

decabromodiphenyl ether. This 

comparison is included to provide a 

relatively more robust data base that 

may help identify key data gaps for 

MWCNT related to future assessment 

and risk management efforts. It further 

provides a foundation for future efforts 

to identify risk-related tradeoffs between 

a traditional material, such as decaBDE 

and a nano-enabled product.

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 an emergency extension of 

the Elementary-Secondary Staff 

Information Report (EEO–5) to be 

effective after the current June 30, 2012 

expiration date. EEOC is requesting 

approval to revise the race and ethnicity 

categories on the EEO–5 report to 

conform to OMB’s Standards for

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 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 127 / Monday, July 2, 2012 / Notices 39239 

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. 

Overview of Information Collection 

Collection Title: ElementarySecondary Staff Information Report 

(EEO–5). 

OMB–Number: 3046–0003. 

Frequency of Report: Biennial. 

Type of Respondent: Certain public 

elementary and secondary school 

districts. 

Description of Affected Public: Certain 

public elementary and secondary school 

districts. 

Number of Responses: 7,218. 

Reporting Hours: 32,481. 

Cost to the Respondents: $617,139. 

Federal Cost: $190,000. 

Number of Forms: 1. 

Form Number: EEOC Form 168A. 

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 7,218 public 

elementary and secondary school 

districts. The form is estimated to 

impose 32,481 burden hours biennially.
