Consistent with
previous terms of clearance, OMB reminds the agency that this
collection will not be approved for the 2012 reporting period
unless the basic race and ethnicity categories comply with OMBs
1997 Standards for Maintaining, Collecting, and Presenting Federal
Data on Race and Ethnicity, and do not conflict with the Department
of Education's collection of school staff race and ethnicity
information. Based on conversations with EEOC, it is OMBs
understanding that EEOC is considering potential revisions to this
report. OMB expects that any such revisions will be fully
consistent with the Paperwork Reduction Act and Federal statistical
standards. With the exception of making the basic race and
ethnicity categories consitent with OMB standards, in order to
minimize burdens and costs to respondents, OMB recommends that EEOC
make any planned revisions to this report simultaneously, rather
than in a piece-meal fashion. OMB also recommends that EEOC seek
input from affected stakeholders about any revisions as early as
possible, and provide respondents with ample notice before making
revisions in order to minimize and ease burdens. Finally, OMB
expects EEOC to keep it updated about any possible revisions to
this report on a regular basis.
