Notice.

In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the
Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission (EEOC or Commission)
announces that it is submitting to the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) a request for a three-year
extension without change of the existing
recordkeeping requirements under its
regulations.

SUMMARY:

Written comments on this notice
must be submitted on or before October
11, 2024.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this
notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/
PRAMain. Find this particular
information collection by selecting
‘‘Currently under Review—Open for

Counsel, at (202) 921–3240 or

this notice in an alternative format
should be made to the Office of
Communications and Legislative Affairs

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission
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.1 The EEOC has
promulgated recordkeeping regulations
under these authorities that are
contained in 29 CFR part 1602. These
regulations do not require the creation
of any particular records but generally
require employers and labor
organizations to preserve any personnel
and employment records they make or

DATES:

1 While the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act
(PWFA) also authorizes the EEOC to issue
recordkeeping regulations, this notice announces
the EEOC’s intent to seek an extension of the
existing recordkeeping requirements under Title
VII, the ADA, and GINA. Recordkeeping
requirements concerning the PWFA will be
addressed separately.

keep for a period of one year or two
years, and possibly longer if a charge of
discrimination is filed. The EEOC seeks
an extension without change of OMB’s
clearance under the PRA of the
recordkeeping requirements in 29 CFR
part 1602.
A notice that the EEOC would be
submitting this request was published
in the Federal Register on July 3, 2024,
allowing for a 60-day public comment
period. One comment was received from
the public during the comment period;
however, the comment did not address
the EEOC’s recordkeeping requirements.
Accordingly, no changes have been
made to the requirements based upon
the comment.
Overview of Current Information
Collection
Collection Title: Recordkeeping Under
Title VII, the ADA, and GINA.
OMB Number: 3046–0040.
Description of Affected Public:
Employers and labor organizations
subject to Title VII.
Number of Respondents: 887,869.
Number of Reports Submitted: 0.
Estimated Burden Hours: 178,485.
Burden Hour Cost: $5,806,101.
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
107(a) of the ADA, 42 U.S.C. 12117(a),
and section 207(a) of GINA, 42 U.S.C.
2000ff–6(a), direct the Commission to
establish regulations pursuant to which
entities subject to those Acts shall make
and preserve certain records to assist the
EEOC in ensuring compliance with the
Acts’ prohibitions on employment
discrimination. Accordingly, the EEOC
issued regulations setting out
recordkeeping requirements for private
employers (29 CFR 1602.14); employers,
labor organizations, and joint labormanagement committees that control
apprenticeship programs (29 CFR
1602.21(b)); labor organizations (29 CFR
1602.28(a)); state and local governments
(29 CFR 1602.31); elementary and
secondary school systems or districts
(29 CFR 1602.40); and institutions of
higher education (29 CFR 1602.49(a)).
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 887,869

entities, which combines estimates from
private employment,2 the public sector,3
colleges and universities,4
apprenticeship programs,5 and labor
organizations.6 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 labor organizations) 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 records, but merely
requires retention of records 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 the Title
VII, ADA, and GINA recordkeeping

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 2023 and the number
of new apprenticeship programs
established in 2021 provided by the
Department of Labor, we estimate that
there are 356,969 entities that would
incur this start-up burden.7 Assuming a
30-minute burden per entity, the total
annual hour burden is 178,485 hours (.5
hour × 356,969 new entities = 178,485
hours). The estimated associated burden
hour cost to respondents is $5,806,101,
or around $16.27 per new entity.8

Pursuant to the Privacy Act of

Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) proposes to rescind the FCC/
WCB–5, Robocall Mitigation Database,

used information in this system to
collect and maintain information
provided by individual representatives
of voice service providers who were
certifying the service providers’

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Privacy Act provides that an agency
may collect or maintain in its records
only information about individuals that
is relevant and necessary to accomplish
a purpose that is required by a statute
or executive order. The FCC has
determined that this system no longer
meets this standard, because the only
type of personally identifiable
information currently being collected
and maintained in this system is
business contact information, and a
more recent system of records—FCC–2,
Business Contacts and Certifications—
was developed to maintain this type of
business contact information across the
agency (i.e., wholly including all of the
information maintained in the Robocall
Mitigation Database). Therefore, the FCC
proposes to rescind FCC/WCB–5 and
manage the records it contains under
FCC–2 in accordance with the
requirements in the SORN and the
applicable records retention or
disposition schedule approved by the
National Archives and Records
Administration.
