OMB initiated a formal review to revise its Statistical Policy Directive No. 15, which establishes standards for maintaining, collecting, and presenting federal data on race and ethnicity. As part of the review, OMB will convene an Interagency Technical Working Group of Federal Government career staff who represent programs that collect or use race and ethnicity data to solicit public feedback and provide recommendations to the Office regarding the directive’s revision.
