SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Equal Employment Opportunity Compliant Forms.
[[Page 3385]]
OMB Control Number: 1505-0262.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Description: Title 29 of the United States Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) part 1614, directs agencies to maintain a continuing
program to promote equal opportunity and to identify and eliminate
discriminatory practices and policies. The Department of the Treasury
(Department) is thus required to process complaints of employment
discrimination from Department employees, former employees and
applicants for jobs with the Department who claim discrimination based
on their membership in a protected class, such as, race, color,
religion, sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation and gender
identity), national origin, age (over 40), disability, genetic
information, or retaliation for engaging in prior protected activity.
Claims of discrimination based on parental status are processed as
established by Executive Order 11478 (as amended by Executive Order
13152). Federal agencies must offer pre-complaint ``informal''
counseling and/or Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) to these
``aggrieved individuals'' (the aggrieved), claiming discrimination by
officials of the Department. If the complaint is not resolved during
the informal process, agencies must issue a Notice of Right to File a
Complaint of Discrimination form to the aggrieved. This information is
being collected for the purpose of processing informal and formal
complaints of employment discrimination against the Department on the
bases of race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, sexual
orientation and gender identity), national origin, age (over 40),
disability, genetic information, parental status, or retaliation.
Pursuant to 29 CFR 1614.105, the aggrieved must participate in pre-
complaint counseling to try to informally resolve his/her complaint
prior to filing a complaint of discrimination. Information provided on
the pre-complaint forms may be used by the aggrieved to assist in
determining if she or he would like to file a formal complaint against
the Department. The information captured on these forms will be
reviewed by the staff of the Department's Office of Civil Rights and
Diversity to frame the claims for investigation and determine whether
the claims are within the parameters established in 29 CFR part 1614.
In addition, data from the complaint forms is collected and aggregated
for the purpose of discerning whether any Department of the Treasury
policies, practices or procedures may be curtailing the equal
employment opportunities of any protected group.
Forms: TD F 62-03.1, TD F 62-03.2, TD F 62-03.4, TD F 62-03.6, TD
62-03.7, TD 62-03.8, TD F 62-03.9, TD F 62-03.10, TD F 62-03.11, TD F
63-03.5.
Affected Public: Individuals and Households.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 1 to 20 respondents.
Frequency of Response: On Occasion.
Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 90.
Estimated Time per Response: 3 minutes to 1 hour.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 47.
Request for Comments: Comments submitted in response to this notice
will be summarized and included in the request for Office of Management
and Budget approval. All comments will become a matter of public
record. Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) ways to minimize
the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including
through the use of technology; and (e) estimates of capital or start-up
costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services
required to provide information.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
