Overview of This Information Collection
Collection Title: Elementary-Secondary Staff Information Report
EEO-5.
OMB-Number: 0346-0003.
Frequency of Report: Biennial.
Type of Respondent: Public elementary and secondary school
districts with 100 or more employees.
Description of Affected Public: State and Local Government.
Number of Responses: 5,000.
Reporting Hours: 12,000.
Federal Cost: $80,000.
Number of Forms: 1.
Abstract: Section 709(c) of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 2000e-8(c), requires employers to make and
keep records relevant to a determination of whether unlawful employment
practices have been or are being committed and to make reports
therefrom as required by the EEOC. Accordingly, the EEOC has issued
regulations which set forth the reporting requirement for various kinds
of employers. 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 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, greatly reducing the respondent burden and cost.
EEO-5 data are used by the EEOC to investigate charges of
employment discrimination against elementary and secondary public
school districts. The data are used to support EEOC decisions and
conciliations, and for research. The data are shared with the
Department of Education (Office for Civil Rights and the National
Center for Education Statistics) 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 are also shared with 86 State and Local
Fair Employment Practices Agencies (FEPAs).
Burden Statement: The estimated number of respondents included in
the annual EEO-5 survey is 5000 public elementary and secondary school
districts. The number of responses per respondent is one report. The
annual number of responses is approximately 5,000 and the total hours
per response ranges from one (1) to five (5) hours. The estimated total
number of response hours is 12,000 each time the survey is conducted
(i.e., biennially.) Respondents are encouraged to report data on
electronic media such as magnetic tapes and diskettes.
Dated: April 14, 2008.
For the Commission.

Chair.
