CWC Comments to OMB Point Out Practical Challenges With Expanded Race/Ethnicity Reporting

The Center for Workplace Compliance (CWC) has filed comments with the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in response to preliminary proposals for revising the government’s race/ethnicity data collection and reporting standards. The proposed revisions would require the collection of race and ethnicity information using one combined question rather than the current two-question format. They also would add “Middle Eastern or North African” (MENA) as a new minimum race/ethnicity category. If adopted, the proposed revisions would affect a wide range of federal data collection and reporting requirements, including the EEO-1 Report and AAP compliance.
