Proposed Collection; Comment
Request; Extension: Contract Standard
for Contractor Workforce Inclusion
Upon Written Request Copies Available
From: U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services,
100 F Street NE, Washington, DC
20549–2736
Notice is hereby given that, pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities
and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments
on the collection of information
summarized below. The Commission
plans to submit this existing collection
of information to the Office of
Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) for
extension and approval.
Section 342 of the Dodd-Frank Wall
Street Reform and Consumer Protection
Act of 2010 (the Dodd-Frank Act)
provided that certain agencies,
including the Commission, establish an
Office of Minority and Women
Inclusion (OMWI).1 Section 342(c)(2) of
the Dodd-Frank Act requires the OMWI
Director to include in the Commission’s
procedures for evaluating contract
proposals and hiring service providers a
written statement that the contractor
shall ensure, to the maximum extent
possible, the fair inclusion of women
and minorities in the workforce of the
contractor and, as applicable,
subcontractors. To implement the
acquisition-specific requirements of
Section 342(c)(2) of the Dodd-Frank Act,
the Commission adopted a Contract
Standard for Contractor Workforce
Inclusion (Contract Standard).
The Contract Standard, which is
included in the Commission’s
solicitations and resulting contracts for
services with a dollar value of $100,000
or more, contains a ‘‘collection of
information’’ within the meaning of the
Paperwork Reduction Act. The Contract
Standard requires that a Commission
contractor with 50 or more employees
provide documentation, upon request

from the OMWI Director, to demonstrate
that it has made good faith efforts to
ensure the fair inclusion of minorities
and women in its workforce and, as
applicable, to demonstrate its covered
subcontractors have made such good
faith efforts. The documentation
requested may include, but is not
limited to: (1) the total number of
employees in the contractor’s workforce,
and the number of employees by race,
ethnicity, gender, and job title or EEO–
1 job category (e.g., EEO–1 Report(s));
(2) a list of covered subcontract awards
under the contract that includes the
dollar amount of each subcontract, date
of award, and the subcontractor’s race,
ethnicity, and/or gender ownership
status; (3) the contractor’s plan to ensure
the fair inclusion of minorities and
women in its workforce, including
outreach efforts; and (4) for each
covered subcontractor, the information
requested in items 1 and 3 above. The
OMWI Director will consider the
information submitted in evaluating
whether the contractor or subcontractor
has complied with its obligations under
the Contract Standard.
The information collection is
mandatory.
Title of Collection: Contract Standard
for Contractor Workforce Inclusion.
Type of Review: Extension of an
Existing Approved Information
Collection.
Frequency of Response: Annually.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
50.
Estimated Burden Hours per
Respondent: 1 hour.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 50. The change in the estimated
annual burden hours from 925 to 50 is
due to a change in eligibility criteria for
requesting documentation to only those
contractors with 50 or more employees.
This change in eligibility criteria
eliminated any new recordkeeping
burden since contractors with 50 or
more employees are generally subject to
the recordkeeping and reporting
requirements under the regulations
implementing Title VII of the Civil
Rights Act 2 and Executive Order 11246.
Request for Comments: The comments
submitted in response to this notice will
be summarized and included in the
request for OMB approval. All
comments will become a matter of
public record. Written comments are
invited on: (a) whether this collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate

of the burden imposed by the collection
of information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; and (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including
through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology. Consideration will be given
to comments and suggestions submitted
in writing 60 days after the date of this
publication.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
under the PRA unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
