Overview of This Information Collection

    Type of Review: Extension--No change.
    Collection Title: Recordkeeping and Reporting under Title VII and 
the ADA.
    Form No.: None.
    Frequency of Report: Other.
    Type of Respondent: Employers with 15 or more employees.
    Description of Affected Public: Employers with 15 or more employees 
are subject to Title VII and the ADA.
    Responses: 627,000.
    Reporting Hours: One.
    Federal Cost: None.
    Abstract: Section 709 of Title VII, 42 U.S.C. 2000e and section 
107(a) of the ADA, 42 U.S.C. 12117 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 requirements in employment. 
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 
into the ADA at section 107(a).
    Burden Statement: The estimated number of respondents is 
approximately 627,000 employers. The recordkeeping obligation does not 
require reports or the creation of new documents; it merely requires 
retention of documents that the employer has made or kept. Thus, the 
burden imposed by these regulations is minimal. The burden is estimated 
to be less than one hour per employer.

    Dated: February 6, 2007.

    For the Commission.
Naomi C. Earp,
Chair.
