Notice of Request for Renewal of a Previously Approved Collection, 57630-57631 [E7-19916]

Download as PDF 57630 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 195 / Wednesday, October 10, 2007 / Notices Background. Currently, SSA has no reliable, statistically valid means of capturing race/ethnicity data in our core business process. While some Race/ Ethnicity data is collected by Form SS– 5, the Application for Social Security Card, it is not provided to SSA through other means of enumerating individuals; e.g., the Enumeration at Birth and Enumeration at Entry processes. Additionally, it is not collected during the disability application process. We believe that adding race/ethnicity as questions to SSA’s applications for benefits will enable SSA to improve its administrative data. Consequently, we intend to collect this information in other SSA application processes. OMB mandated that Federal agencies collecting race and ethnicity information must use consistent standards established by OMB. We will follow the OMB standards when collecting our Race/Ethnicity data. Race & Ethnicity Qualitative Research Before SSA collects Race/Ethnicity data, we plan to conduct several voluntary focus groups with members of the public to assess their opinions, reactions and recommendations on a proposed form that will be used to collect the information. The questions and race and ethnicity categories will follow the standards developed by OMB. The information from this research will be used to develop a comprehensive collection form. The respondents are members of the public who volunteer to participate in the Race/Ethnicity questions focus groups. Note: Please note that this Federal Register Notice is only for the Race and Ethnicity Quality Research focus groups. We will post a separate Federal Register Notice in the future for the actual Race and Ethnicity information collection. rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES Type of Request: New information collection. Number of Respondents: 96 (8 focus groups, 12 participants). Frequency of Response: 1. Average Burden per Response: 90 minutes. Estimated Annual Burden: 144 hours. Dated: October 3, 2007.
