Any of the records maintained which

during an investigation are protected 

from public disclosure by the 

confidentiality provisions of section 

706(b) and 709(e) of Title VII, which are 

also incorporated by reference into the 

ADA at section 107(a) and GINA at 

section 207(a). 

Burden Statement: The estimated 

number of respondents subject to this 

recordkeeping requirement is 989,379 

entities, which combines estimates from 

private employment,1 the public sector,2

colleges and universities,3

apprenticeship programs,4 and referral 

unions.5 An entity subject to the 

recordkeeping requirement in 29 CFR 

part 1602 must retain all personnel or 

employment records, records relating to 

apprenticeship, or union membership or 

referral records made or kept by that 

entity for one year (private employers 

and referral unions) or two years (public 

sector, colleges and universities, 

apprenticeship programs), and must 

retain any records relevant to charges of 

discrimination filed under Title VII, the 

ADA, or GINA until final disposition of 

those matters, which may be longer than 

one or two years. This recordkeeping 

requirement does not require reports or 

the creation of new documents, but 

merely requires retention of documents 

that an entity has already made or kept 

in the normal course of its business 

operations. Thus, existing employers 

and labor organizations bear no burden 

under this analysis, because their 

systems for retaining these types of 

records are already in place. Newly 

formed entities may incur a small 

burden when setting up their data 

collection and retention systems to 

ensure compliance with EEOC’s 

recordkeeping requirements. We assume 

some effort and time must be expended 

by new employers or labor organizations 

to familiarize themselves with Title VII, 

ADA, and GINA recordkeeping 

requirements and explain those 

requirements to the appropriate staff. 

We estimate that 30 minutes would be 

needed for this one-time familiarization 

process. Using projected business 

formation estimates from the U.S. 

Census Bureau for 2020 and the number 

of new apprenticeship programs 

established in 2020 provided by the 

Department of Labor, we estimate that 

there are 324,446 entities that would 

incur this start-up burden.6 Assuming a 

30-minute burden per entity, the total 

annual hour burden is 162,223 hours (.5 

hour × 324,446 new entities = 162,223 

hours).
