17The OPDR database contains information on 

approximately 20,000 unions in the United States. 

See https://olmsapps.dol.gov/olpdr/. 

18This estimate covers local unions within the 50 

United States and the District of Columbia, as well 

as the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U.S. 

Virgin Islands, and the U.S. Possessions of 

American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, 

and Wake Island. Please note that 5,999 

respondents may ultimately turn out to be an 

overestimate. Following the initial enhancement of 

the EEO–3 frame, collection data may yield an 

unknown number of ineligible filers. 

19Hourly wage rates for these four job categories 

were obtained from the U.S. Department of Labor’s 

Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Occupational 

Outlook Handbook. See https://www.bls.gov/ooh/. 

Please note that the actual job titles reported during 

the 2022 EEO–3 data collection were collapsed into 

these four BLS occupational categories. 

20The time estimates are based on the average 

time elapsed among filers who completed their 

reports during the same calendar day within the 

OFS. 

agency’s data collections, including the 

EEO–3 data collection. Since OEDA’s 

creation in 2018, the EEOC has 

undertaken several efforts to modernize 

the agency’s data collections and 

improve the quality of data collected. 

OEDA also has streamlined functions, 

such as providing additional self-service 

options, resource materials, and an 

online support message center. 

As part of these ongoing 

modernization efforts, and in response 

to a recent GAO report 16 which 

recommended that the EEOC improve 

its approach to routinely identify local 

unions required to file the EEO–3 

report, OEDA has undertaken measures 

to enhance the agency’s EEO–3 frame 

(i.e., filer roster or master list) of 

potentially eligible filers. By comparing 

the EEOC’s 2022 EEO–3 frame to a list 

of active unions from the U.S. 

Department of Labor’s Office of Labor 

Management Standards (OLMS) Online 

Public Disclosure Room (OPDR) 

database,17 OEDA identified more than 

5,000 local unions that may be eligible 

to file during the next biennial EEO–3 

data collection. With the addition of 

these unions to the EEO–3 frame and 

considering response rates during the 

2022 EEO–3 data collection, OEDA now 

estimates 5,999 potential respondents to 

the agency’s next EEO–3 data 

collection.18

The EEOC has also updated its 

methodology for calculating the biennial 

burden of the EEO–3 data collection to 

better reflect the types of personnel 

responsible for preparing and filing 

these reports on behalf of their unions. 

Based upon job titles provided during 

the 2022 EEO–3 data collection by 

individuals completing the report 

within the OFS, the EEOC has identified 

four specific job categories that account 

for the largest amount of time spent 

biennially on EEO–3 reporting. These 

job categories include: (1) Secretaries 

and Administrative Assistants; (2) 

Administrative Services and Facilities 

Managers; (3) Bookkeeping, Accounting, 

and Auditing Clerks; and (4) ExecutiveLevel Staff.19

Additionally, the OFS captures 

detailed information on when each filer 

starts and certifies their report. The 

EEOC used this information from the 

most recent EEO–3 data collection (i.e., 

2022) to calculate more precise burden 

hour estimates.20 As shown in Table 1 

below, the estimated average hour 

burden per report is 1.49 hours. The 

total estimated biennial respondent 

burden for all filers is 8,922 hours. The 

estimated average burden hour cost per 

report is $59.90, and the estimated total 

burden hour cost for all filers per 

biennial collection is $359,091.

aThe average hourly wage rate for the ‘‘Other’’ category was derived by taking the weighted mean average of the hourly wage rates of the four BLS job categories 

listed in the above table. bThese estimates are based upon filers’ use of the OFS to submit reports electronically because paper submissions are no longer accepted. Electronic filing remains the most efficient, accurate, and secure means of reporting for respondents required to submit EEO–3 data.
