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.
