Proposed Collection; Comment
Request
AGENCY: Office of the Director of
National Intelligence (ODNI).
ACTION: Information Collection
Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request—30 Day Comment
Period.
Comments received by the
Office of Personnel Management and the
Office of Management and Budget
during the 60 day and 30 day comment
periods announced in the Federal
Register, vol. 74, no. 89, dated May 11,
2009 and vol. 74, no. 167 dated August
31, 2009, resulted in revisions to the
proposed information collection
instrument. Revisions include a
statement of authorities for collecting
the information as well as detailed
privacy and paperwork reduction act
statements, as the previous proposal did
not include sufficient detail in this
regard. Revisions also include making
the collection instrument a stand alone
form, and not an addendum to the SF
181, Ethnicity and Race Identification,
as previously proposed. The data
captured from this proposed collection
instrument is to assess the IC’s progress
in recruitment and retention and not for
equal employment opportunity business
purposes. Therefore, in accordance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.), the ODNI invites the
general public and Federal agencies to
comment on the standard data elements
being reviewed under regular review
procedures for use by the Intelligence
Community agencies and elements, as
defined by the National Security Act of
1947, as amended. The title of the
standard data element set is ‘‘Ancestry
and Ethnicity Data Elements’’, and is for
the purpose of collecting ancestry and
ethnicity data not currently captured by
the Intelligence Community. Data
collected, obtained by responding to
three questions, will assist the
Intelligence Community in recruiting
and retaining employees of various
national, sub-national, cultural and
ethnic backgrounds important to the
Intelligence Community’s mission. Once
the standard data elements are
approved, each Federal agency and
element of the Intelligence Community
may make the form available to every
Intelligence Community job applicant to
