Discontinuation of EEO-1 Type 6 Establishment List Reports


As part of the EEOC’s continuing efforts to modernize the agency’s EEO data collections and to improve the quality of data collected, the EEOC is discontinuing the EEO-1 Component 1 Type 6 Establishment List Report (“Type 6 Report”) for reporting establishments with fewer than 50 employees.


Beginning with the 2021 EEO-1 Component 1 data collection, tentatively scheduled to open on
Tuesday, April 12th, 2022, ALL filers reporting data for establishments with fewer than 50 employees must use a Type 8 Establishment Report (“Type 8 Report”) to submit such data.


This change will allow the EEOC to collect more accurate employee demographic data in support of the agency’s mission to prevent and remedy unlawful employment discrimination and advance equal opportunity for all in the workplace.


For the 2019 and 2020 EEO-1 Component 1 data collections (which are now closed), the EEOC only permitted filers who had previously submitted a Type 6 Report to do so. All filers who were permitted to submit a Type 6 Report for the 2019/2020 collections, have been notified via email regarding the discontinuation of the Type 6 Report so these filers may prepare for the opening of the 2021 EEO-1 Component 1 filing using Type 8 Reports. For additional information on the types of reports required for EEO-1 Component 1 filers, please see the hyperlinked Fact Sheet: 2021 EEO-1 Component 1 Required Report(s) .


As a reminder, the 2021 EEO-1 Component 1 data collection is tentatively scheduled to open on
Tuesday, April 12th, 2022. The tentative deadline to file the 2021 EEO-1 Component 1 Report is
Tuesday, May 17th, 2022. Prior to the opening of the 2021 data collection, additional instructions and resource materials will be shared with all filers via email as well as posted online at this website, https://eeocdata.org/eeo1, as they become available. The EEO-1 Filer Support Team will resume normal operations immediately prior to the opening of the 2021 EEO-1 Component 1 data collection.

Top FAQs

How can a filer create an account?
Each user will be able to create a unique user account during the registration process. This will be a new account specifically for the 2019 and 2020 EEO-1 Component 1 filing. Once the user account is created, authorized staff can use the Company ID and passcode provided in the advance notification letter to link the company to their account. If a user is authorized to file EEO-1 Component 1 Reports for multiple companies, they can link multiple companies to their user profile.
What should a filer do if a company did not receive (or cannot locate) the advance notification letter that includes the company passcode?
The letters were mailed in April 2021. If a company did not receive the letter by the end of April, check the website for any applicable updates. If the company filed previously and has not received your Company ID and passcode, please use filer support page ‘Contact Us’ Form to contact the EEO-1 Component 1 Filer Support Team. It may be necessary to update the contact information. It will be necessary to verify that the caller is authorized to receive this information. The caller must be an existing point of contact in our records or must provide a letter on company letterhead in electronic PDF format, signed by an authorized company representative authorizing filer access.
What is the EEO-1 Component 1 Report?
Since 1966, the EEOC has required EEO-1 filers to submit demographic data on an annual basis. All private employers that are covered by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. 2000e, et. seq., as amended (Title VII) and that have 100 or more employees are required to file the EEO-1 Component 1 Report. In addition, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) regulations require certain federal contractors to file the EEO-1 Component 1 if they have 50 or more employees and are not exempt as provided for by 41 CFR 60-1.5.

Employers meeting the reporting thresholds have a legal obligation to submit annual workforce data on their employees by race/ethnicity, sex and job category. The data include seven race/ethnicity categories and 10 job categories. EEO-1 Component 1 data are used by the EEOC to investigate charges of employment discrimination against employers and to provide information about the employment status of minorities and women.
What is the EEO-1 Component 1 filing deadline?
The deadline for submitting 2019 and 2020 EEO-1 Component 1 data is Monday, October 25, 2021.
What companies are required to file the EEO-1 Component 1 Report?
The following companies are required to file the EEO-1 Component 1 Report annually:
  1. Private employers who are subject to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, as amended with 100 or more employees.
  2. Federal government prime contractors or first-tier subcontractors subject to Executive Order 11246, as amended who are not exempt as provided for by 41 CFR 60-1.5, with both 50 or more employees and a prime contract, first-tier subcontract or purchase order amounting to $50,000 or more.
  3. Companies that serve as a depository of Government funds in any amount or as a financial institution which is an issuing and paying agent for U.S. Savings Bonds and Savings Notes and have 50 or more employees.
Why must my company submit and certify its 2019 EEO-1 Component 1 report BEFORE it can submit and certify its 2020 EEO-1 Component 1 report?
Data generated by a company for its 2019 EEO-1 Component 1 report(s) populates data for the 2020 EEO-1 Component 1 report(s). For example, the resulting PDFs generated for a company’s 2019 report(s) will display the company’s employee numbers from the previous year (i.e., 2018). The same holds true for the company’s 2020 report(s). Additionally, several checks and comparisons within the EEO-1 Component 1 Online Filing System are conducted using data from the previous filing year. For example, changes in the number of employees and establishments as well as address changes must be checked against data from the previous year. These checks and comparisons provide additional mechanisms to ensure the technical integrity of the information submitted as well as an additional quality control review of the data.
Can filers use login information from the EEO-1 Component 2 data collection?
No. The account information for the now closed EEO-1 Component 2 data collection cannot be used to access the EEO-1 Component 1 Online Filing System. These are two different data collections, using distinct and separate systems.
