For Area 5, on stakeholder and community engagement: Section 8 of E.O. 13985 instructs agencies to expand their use of stakeholder and community engagement in carrying out the Order. OMB seeks specific approaches to stakeholder and community engagement with underserved communities that others have successfully used and that Federal agencies could adapt or apply. Accordingly, OMB welcomes submissions that address questions such as: • What processes should agencies have in place to engage proactively with the underserved individuals and communities that will be most affected by agency programs, policies, rules, processes, or operations? How can agencies design and implement community engagement practices that are accessible to underserved communities? How might affected communities be engaged pro-actively and early to shape agency policy priorities and strategies? • What tools and best practices might agencies deploy to establish advisory boards, task forces, and commissions that are inclusive of underserved communities? • How can an agency assess the accessibility of the agency’s rulemaking and policymaking commenting and engagement processes, including for individuals that experience barriers to participation? Examples of barriers may include limited language access assistance, online-only engagement, and minimal proactive notification of opportunities to provide comment. • Do feedback mechanisms for customers, beneficiaries, and communities affected by Government programs exist to inform policy research VerDate Sep<11>2014 23:06 May 04, 2021 Jkt 253001 and evaluation processes? If so, are these feedback mechanisms accessible to underserved communities? If not, what are best practices that agencies should consider? • What tools could agencies develop for expanding stakeholder input into programmatic and regulatory changes to minimize barriers and burden? How may existing processes (e.g., notice and comment on information collections) be enhanced to improve accessibility by stakeholders? • What tools can agency offices, including communications, civic engagement, enforcement, and policymaking offices, use to better engage or reach underserved communities? • What are some of the barriers or factors that challenge underserved communities’ interactions with Federal agencies and programs? • What practices should agencies put in place to reach underserved communities in rural areas or underserved communities that otherwise are not able to visit Washington, DC, to engage with policymakers?
