The 2019 EEO-1 survey was supposed to be due on March 31.  However, the survey has not yet opened. 

The EEOC’s authority to collect EEO-1 information expired in September 2019.  It published in the Federal Register a Notice of Information Collection, which sets forth the EEOC’s intent to seek authorization from the Office of Management and Budget (“OMB”) for approval to collect EEO-1 Component 1 data for 2019, 2020, and 2021.  The Notice states that the EEOC does not intend to request a renewal of Component 2 pay data.

The Notice was open for comment until November 12, 2019, after which the EEOC could submit a request to OMB to renew its authorization to collect Component 1.  However, it appears that no such request has yet been submitted.  As such, it may be a few months before the survey opens.

According to the EEOC:

The opening of the collection will be announced by posting a notice on the EEOC home page and sending a notification letter to eligible EEO-1 filers.  When the survey opens, the EEOC will provide online resources to assist filers with their submissions and the EEOC’s helpdesk will be available to respond to filer inquiries and to provide additional filing assistance (including, for example, guidance on processing mergers and acquisitions and other corporate changes).

We will keep you updated on any further developments.
