SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    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 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. 
Pursuant to that section, the EEOC has issued regulations which set 
forth the reporting requirement for various kinds of employers. Public 
elementary and secondary schools 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 discontinued in 
1996, greatly reducing the respondent burden and cost.
    EEO-5 data are used by the EEOC to investigate charges of 
employment discrimination against public elementary and secondary 
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, EEO-5 data are also shared with State and local Fair Employment 
Practices Agencies.
    Burden Statement: The estimated number of respondents included in 
the EEO-5 collection is 5,000 public elementary and secondary school 
districts. The number of responses per respondent is one (1) report. 
The annual number of responses is approximately 5,000 and the total 
hours per response is between one (1) and five (5) hours. Based upon 
the large number of school districts responding via diskette, the total 
number of response hours is estimated to equal 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: March 9, 1999.

Chairwoman.
