BJS announcement

Revision of OMB?s Statistical Policy Directive No. 15: Race and Ethnicity Data Standards [ [link removed] ]

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has published a set of updates to "Statistical Policy Directive 15: Standards for Maintaining, Collecting, and Presenting Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity". These updates will improve the quality and usefulness of the race and ethnicity data that agencies across the federal government collect, publish, and use to evaluate equitable program delivery and outcomes, monitor and enforce civil rights laws, and describe the demographic makeup of the United States and report trends.??

The updates closely follow the recommendations of an Interagency Technical Working Group convened last year by Dr. Karin Orvis, Chief Statistician of the United States, who detailed the changes in a blog post [ [link removed] ]. The updated standards can be found in the "Federal Register".?
