Overview of This Information Collection

    Type of Review: Extension--No change.
    Collection title: Recordkeeping under Title VII and the ADA.
    OMB number: 3046-0040.
    Agency 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.
    Number of responses: 899,580.
    Reporting hours: One.
    Federal cost: None.
    Abstract: Section 709(c) of Title VII, 42 U.S.C. 2000e-8(c) and 
section 107(a) of the ADA, 42 U.S.C. 12117(a) 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 in employment requirements. 
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 
by reference into the ADA at section 107(a).
    Burden statement: The estimated number of respondents is 
approximately 899,580 employers. The recordkeeping requirement does not 
require reports or the creation of new documents, but 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.
    OMB is particularly interested in comments which:
    (1) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the Commission's functions, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    (2) Evaluate the accuracy of the Commission's estimate of the 
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the 
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
    (3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and
    (4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic 
submission of responses.

    Dated: April 26, 2010.

    For the Commission.
Jacqueline A. Berrien,
Chair.
