SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 

26, 2010, President Obama issued 

Executive Order 13548, which directs 

Executive departments and agencies 

(hereafter ‘‘agencies’’) to improve their 

efforts to employ Federal workers with 

disabilities through increased 

recruitment, hiring, and retention of 

these individuals. OPM, in consultation 

with the White House (including the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB)), the Department of Labor (DOL), 

and the EEOC has developed, as 

required by the EO 13548, model 

recruitment and hiring strategies for 

agencies to use to increase their 

employment of individuals with 

disabilities. (http://www.chcoc.gov/

transmittals/TransmittalDetails.aspx?

TransmittalID=3228#Attachment1) The 

strategies include collecting, 

maintaining, and analyzing applicant 

flow data and examining existing 

recruitment programs and hiring 

practices to identify and eliminate any 

barriers to recruiting/hiring individuals 

with disabilities and, in particular, 

individuals with targeted disabilities. 

This Notice concerns revising the 

form (OMB No. 3046–0046) for the use 

by federal agencies in gathering data on 

the race, ethnicity, and sex of job 

applicants. This form is used by EEOC 

and other agencies to gauge progress 

and trends over time with respect to 

equal employment opportunity goals. 

The revision would add disability status 

of applicants to the collection, thereby 

allowing the agencies and EEOC to track 

progress toward meeting the recruitment 

and hiring strategies developed 

pursuant to EO 13548. The race and 

ethnicity categories in this form are 

consistent with the standards set by the 

Office of Management and Budget .1 The 

questions on disability and medical 

impairments are designed to allow 

federal agencies and the EEOC to 

determine the percentage of applicants 

to Federal jobs who might be considered 

‘‘individuals with disabilities’’ under 

various approaches to defining the term. 

Among other things, the disability 

questions are designed to analyze the 

frequency with which people with 

‘‘targeted disabilities’’ apply for 

positions with an agency, compare the 

percentage of applicants with functional 

disabilities to the percentage of working 

age people with such disabilities as 

recorded by the Census Bureau, and 

examine the number of applicants with 

medical impairments consistent with 

the Americans with Disabilities Act 

Amendments Act and the Rehabilitation 

Act. 

Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, and 

OMB regulation 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), the 

Commission solicits public comment on 

revising its form for use by federal 

agencies in gathering demographic 

information on applicants for federal 

employment. Comments are particularly 

invited on whether this collection of 

information will enable the Commission 

and federal agencies to: 

(1) Evaluate whether the proposed 

data collection tool will have practical 

utility by enabling a federal agency to 

determine whether recruitment 

activities are effectively reaching all 

segments of the relevant labor pool in 

compliance with the laws enforced by 

the Commission and whether the 

agency’s selection procedures allow all 

applicants to compete on a level playing 

field regardless of race, national origin, 

sex or disability status; 

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(4) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on applicants 

for federal employees who choose to 

respond, including through the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of responses. 

Overview of This Information 

Collection 

Collection Title: Demographic 

Information on Federal Job Applicants. 

OMB Control No.: 3046–0046 . 

Description of Affected Public: 

Individuals submitting applications for 

federal employment. 

Number of Annual Responses: 5,800. 

Estimated Time per Respondent: 3 

minutes. 

Total Annual Burden Hours (5,800 × 

3)/60 = 290. 

Annual Federal Cost: None. 

Abstract: Under section 717 of Title 

VII and 501 of the Rehabilitation Act, 

the Commission is charged with 

reviewing and approving federal 

agencies plans to affirmatively address 

potential discrimination before it 

occurs. Pursuant to such oversight 

responsibilities, the Commission has 

established systems to monitor 

compliance with Title VII and the 

Rehabilitation Act by requiring federal 

agencies to evaluate their employment 

practices through the collection and 

analysis of data on the race, national 

origin, sex and disability status of 

applicants for both permanent and 

temporary employment. 

Several federal agencies (or 

components of such agencies) have 

previously obtained separate OMB 

approval for the use of forms collecting 

data on the race, national origin, sex, 

and disability status of applicants. In 

order to avoid unnecessary duplication 

of effort and a proliferation of forms, the 

EEOC seeks approval for the use of a 

common form to be used by all federal 

agencies. 

Response by applicants is optional. 

The information obtained will be used 

by federal agencies only for evaluating 

whether an agency’s recruitment 

activities are effectively reaching all 

segments of the relevant labor pool, to 

gauge progress and trends over time 

with respect to equal opportunity goals, 

and to track progress toward meeting 

the recruitment and hiring strategies 

developed pursuant to EO 13548. The 

voluntary responses are treated in a 

highly confidential and anonymous 

manner, are not shared with those 

involved in the selection process or the 

supervisor (if the person is hired) and 

will not be placed in the employees’ 

personnel file. The information is not 

provided to any panel rating the 

applications, to selecting officials, to 

anyone who can affect the application 

or to the public. Rather, the information 

is used in summary form to determine 

trends over many selections within a 

given occupational or organization area. 

No information from the form is entered 

into an official personnel file. 

Burden Statement: Because of the 

predominant use of online application 

systems, which require only pointing 

and clicking on the selected responses, 

and because the form requests only 

eight questions regarding basic 

information, the EEOC estimates that an 

applicant can complete the form in 

approximately 3 minutes or less. Based 

on past experience, we expect that 5,800 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 32 / Friday, February 15, 2013 / Notices 11177 

applicants will choose to complete the 

form. 

Once OMB approves the use of this 

common form, federal agencies may 

request OMB approval to use this 

common form without having to publish 

notices and request public comments for 

60 and 30 days. Each agency must 

account for the burden associated with 

their use of the common form. 

Dated: February 11, 2013. 

For the Commission.

Chair.
