###### Equal Employment Opportunity Commission

# AGENCY:

Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

# ACTION:

Notice of Information Collection—Emergency Extension Without Change: Elementary-Secondary Staff Information Report (EEO-5).

# SUMMARY:

In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC or Commission) announces that it submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for a 90-day emergency extension of the Elementary-Secondary Staff Information Report (EEO-5) to be effective after the current October 31, 2010 expiration date.

# FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Ronald Edwards, Director, Program Research and Surveys Division, 131 M Street, NE., Room 4SW30F, Washington, DC 20507; (202) 663-4958 (voice) or (202) 663-7063 (TTY).

# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Elementary and secondary public school systems and districts have been required to submit EEO-5 reports to EEOC since 1974 (biennially in even-numbered years since 1982). Since 1996, each public school district or system has submitted all of the district data on a single form, EEOC Form 168A. The individual school form, EEOC Form 168B, was eliminated in 1996, reducing the respondent burden and cost.

Accordingly, the EEOC issued regulations prescribing the reporting requirements for elementary and secondary public school districts. The EEOC uses EEO-5 data to investigate charges of employment discrimination against elementary and secondary public school districts. The data also are used for research. The data are shared with the Department of Education (Office for Civil Rights) and the Department of Justice. Pursuant to Section 709(d) of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, EEO-5 data also are shared with state and local Fair Employment Practices Agencies (FEPAs).                

*Burden Statement:*                     The estimated number of respondents included in the biennial EEO-5 survey is 7,155 public elementary and secondary school districts. The form is estimated to impose 10,000 burden hours biennially.
