SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    OMB Control Number: 2125-0019 (Expiration Date: December 31, 2000).
    Title: Federal-Aid Highway Construction Equal Employment 
Opportunity.
    Abstract: Under the provisions of Title 23 U.S.C. Part 140(a), the 
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is required to ensure equal 
opportunity in contractors' employment practices on federal-aid highway 
projects. In order to implement this provision of the law, FHWA 
regulation, 23 CFR 230, Subpart A, requires that contractors submit to 
State Departments of Transportation (State DOTs) an annual report 
providing employment workforce data, which includes the number of 
minorities, women, and non-minority group employees in each 
construction craft. The information is reported on Form PR-1391, 
Federal-Aid Highway Construction Contractors Annual EEO Report. The 
regulation also requires State DOTs to submit an annual report to FHWA 
summarizing PR-1391 data. This summary is provided on Form PR-1392, 
Federal-aid Highway Construction, Summary of Employment Data.
    Affected Public: Approximately 4,500 Federal-aid contractors and 52 
State Departments of Transportation.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 3,916. FHWA estimates that 
approximately 4,500 federal-aid contractors are required to complete 
and submit Form PR-1391 for approximately 7,000 projects and that each 
report takes approximately 30 minutes. In addition, FHWA estimates that 
it takes each State DOT approximately 8 hours to complete and submit 
Form PR-1392.

    Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. 
Chapter 35, as amended; and 49 CFR 1.48.

    Issued on: October 16, 2000.
