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 State and 

local governments. State and local 

governments with 100 or more 

employees have been required to submit 

EEO–4 reports since 1974 (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 and 

to provide information on the 

employment status of minorities and 

women. The data are shared with 

several other Federal agencies. Pursuant 

to section 709(d) of Title VII of the Civil 

Rights Act of 1964, U.S.C. 2000e–8(d), 

as amended, EEO–4 data is shared with 

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 9,000 State and local 

governments. These 9,000 jurisdictions

requirement for some to file separate

estimated to impose 44,719 burden 

hours biennially.
