FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  Joachim Neckere, Director, Program

Washington, DC 20507, (202) 663-4958 (voice) or (202) 663-7063 TDD).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Collection Title: Local Union Report (EEO-
3).
    OMB-Number: 3046-0006.
    Frequency of Report: Biennial.
    Type of Respondent: Referral local unions with 100 or more members.
    Description of Affected Public: Referral local unions and 
independent or unaffiliated referral unions and similar labor 
organizations.
    Number of Responses: 3,000.
    Reporting Hours: 3,000 (4,500 hours including recordkeeping).
    Number of Forms: 1.
    Federal Cost: $43,500.
    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 requirements for various 
kinds of labor organizations. Referral local unions with 100 or more 
members have been required to submit EEO-3 reports since 1967 
(biennially beginning in 1986).
    EEO-3 data are used by the EEOC to investigate charges of 
discrimination against referral local unions. In addition, the data are 
used to support EEOC decisions and conciliations, and for research. 
Pursuant to section 709(d) of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 
1964, as amended, EEO-3 data are also shared with 86 State and local 
Fair Employment Practices Agencies (FEPAs).
    Burden Statement: The respondent burden for this information 
collection is minimal. The estimated number of respondents included in 
the biennial EEO-3 survey is 3,000 referral unions. Total biennial 
reporting is estimated to be 3,000 hours, and total biennial reporting 
and recordkeeping is 4,500 hours. Because referral local unions often 
have small management staffs, the use of filing the EEO-3 report by 
diskette or magnetic tape, although encouraged, has been less 
successful.

    Dated: January 10, 2000.

Chairwoman.
