[Docket No. DOT-OST-2015-0076]


Request for Comments

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, U.S. Department of Transportation.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), this notice announces that the U.S. Department of 
Transportation (DOT) will forward the Information Collection Request 
(ICR) abstracted below to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for 
reinstatement with change of a previously approved collection. The ICR 
describes the nature of the information collection and its expected 
cost and burden hours. The OMB approved the form in 2009 with its 
renewal required by September 30, 2012. Subsequently, DOT was given 
approval of the form until August 31, 2014. The renewal period then 
lapsed; therefore, the form expired. The Federal Register Notice with a 
60-day comment period soliciting comments on the form renewal was 
published on April 29, 2015, [FR Vol. 80, No. 82, page 23855]. No 
comments were received. This notice includes corrections and updates to 
the 60-day published notice.

DATES: Comments on this notice must be received by August 26, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments regarding 
this proposal to the DOT/OST Desk Officer, Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, Docket Library, 
Room 10102, 725 17th Street NW., Washington, DC 20503, or by email to 
oira_submission@omb.eop.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tami L. Wright, Associate Director, 
Compliance Operations Division (S-34), Departmental Office of Civil 
Rights, Office of the Secretary, U.S. Department of Transportation,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Form Title(s): Individual Complaint of Employment Discrimination 
Form.
    Form Number: DOT F 1050-8.
    OMB Control Number: 2105-0056.
    Abstract: The DOT will utilize the form to collect information 
necessary to process Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) discrimination 
complaints filed by employees, former employees, and applicants for 
employment with the Department. These complaints are processed in 
accordance with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's 
regulations, 29 CFR part 1614, as amended. The DOT will use the form 
to: (a) Request requisite information from the individual for 
processing his or her EEO employment discrimination complaint; and (b) 
obtain information to identify an individual or his or her attorney or 
other representative, if appropriate. An individual's filing of an EEO 
employment complaint is solely voluntary. The DOT estimates that it 
takes an individual approximately one hour to complete the form.
    Type of Request: Reinstatement with change of a previously approved 
collection.
    Affected Public: Job applicants filing EEO employment 
discrimination complaints.
    Total Annual Estimated Burden: 10 hours.
    Frequency of Collection: An individual's filing of an EEO complaint 
is solely voluntary.
    Comments are Invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is reasonable for the proper performance of the EEO 
functions of the Department; (b) the accuracy of the Department's 
estimate of the burden of the proposed information collection, 
including the validity of methodology and assumptions used; (c) ways to 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be 
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on those who are to respond, including use of appropriate, 
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technology. Comments should 
be addressed to the address in the preamble. All responses to this 
notice will be summarized and included in the request for Office of 
Management and Budget approval. All comments will also become a matter 
of public record.
