SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission
(EEOC) enforces Title VII of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII), Title I of
the Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA), and Title II of the Genetic
Information Nondiscrimination Act of
2008 (GINA), which collectively
prohibit discrimination on the basis of
race, color, religion, sex, national origin,
disability, or genetic information.
Section 709(c) of Title VII, section
107(a) of the ADA, and section 207(a) of
GINA authorize the EEOC to issue
recordkeeping and reporting regulations
that are deemed reasonable, necessary
or appropriate. EEOC has promulgated
recordkeeping regulations under those
authorities that are contained in 29 CFR
part 1602 et seq. Those regulations do
not require the creation of any particular
records but generally require employers
to preserve any personnel and
employment records they make or keep
for a period of one year. The EEOC seeks
extension of the recordkeeping
requirement in these regulations
without change.
A notice that EEOC would be
submitting this request was published
in the Federal Register on February 20,
2018, allowing for a 60-day public
comment period. Three comments were
received from the public; however, none
of these comments addressed the
EEOC’s recordkeeping requirements.
Accordingly, no changes have been

made to the requirements based upon
the unresponsive comments.
Overview of Current Information
Collection
Collection Title: Recordkeeping under
Title VII, the ADA, and GINA.
OMB Number: 3046–0040.
Description of Affected Public:
Employers with 15 or more employees
are subject to Title VII, the ADA, and
GINA.
Number of Respondents: 961,709.
Number of Reports Submitted: 0.
Estimated Burden Hours: 37,264
hours.
Cost to Respondents: $0.
Federal Cost: None.
Number of Forms: None.
Abstract: Section 709(c) of Title VII of
the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as
amended, 42 U.S.C. 2000e–8(c), section
1007(a) of the ADA, 42 U.S.C. 12117(a),
and section 207(a) of GINA, 42 U.S.C.
2000ff–6(a), require the Commission to
establish regulations pursuant to which
employers subject to those Acts shall
make and preserve certain records to
assist the EEOC in assuring compliance
with the Acts’ nondiscrimination in
employment requirements. This is a
recordkeeping requirement. Any of the
records maintained which are
subsequently disclosed to the EEOC
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 961,709
employers. An employer subject to the
recordkeeping requirement in 29 CFR
part 1602 must retain all personnel or
employment records made or kept by
that employer for one year, 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 year. This recordkeeping
requirement does not require reports or
the creation of new documents, but
merely requires retention of documents
that an employer has already made or
kept in the normal course of its business
operations. Thus, existing employers
bear no burden under this analysis,
because their systems for retaining
personnel and employment records are
already in place. Newly formed firms
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 employers to familiarize
themselves with the 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 onetime familiarization process. Using 2015
data from the Small Business
Administration, we estimate that there
are 74,528 firms that would incur this
start-up burden.1 Assuming a 30-minute
burden per firm, the total annual hour
burden is 37,264 hours (.5 hour × 74,528
= 37,264).
For the Commission.
