health emergency.
DATES: May 8, 2020. As a result of this Notice, pending approval by the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act
(PRA), the EEOC would expect to begin collecting the 2019 EEO-1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In light of the Coronavirus Disease 2019
(COVID-19) public health emergency, and consistent with delays in
Federal reporting requirements across the government and other actions
taken to relieve employers of unnecessary burdens during this crisis,
the Commission is delaying the anticipated opening of the 2019 EEO-1
Component 1 and the 2020 EEO-3 and EEO-5 Data Collections to a time
when the agency anticipates that filers will have resumed more normal
operations. EEO-1, EEO-3, and EEO-5 filers should begin preparing to
submit data in 2021. The EEOC submitted the EEO-1 Component 1
information collection to OMB for approval under the Paperwork
Reduction Act on March 23, 2020. Pending approval by OMB, the EEOC
would expect to begin collecting the 2019 EEO-1 Component 1 along with
the 2020 EEO-1 Component 1 in March 2021 and will notify filers of the
precise date the surveys will open as soon as it is available. The EEOC
expects to begin collecting the 2020 EEO-3 and the 2020 EEO-5 in
January 2021 and will notify filers of the precise date the surveys
will open as soon as it is available.
For the Commission.
Janet Dhillon,
Chair.
