make and keep records relevant to a determination of whether unlawful 
employment practices have been or are being committed, and to produce 
reports from the data. The EEOC issued regulations requiring referral 
local unions with 100 or more members to submit EEO-3 reports. The 
individual reports are confidential. The EEOC uses EEO-3 data to 
investigate charges of discrimination and for research.

the biennial EEO-3 survey is 1,399 referral unions. The form is 
estimated to impose 4,500 burden hours biennially. In order to help

electronically whenever possible.
