Background
On January 20, 2021, President Joseph
R. Biden issued Executive Order 13985
on Advancing Racial Equity and
Support for Underserved Communities
through the Federal Government. In
response to Executive Order 13985, DOI

communities who have been historically
underrepresented in the Federal
Government and underserved by, or
subject to discrimination, in Federal
policies and programs. The term
‘‘underserved communities’’ refers to
populations sharing a particular
characteristic, as well as geographic
communities, that have been
systematically denied a full opportunity
to participate in aspects of economic,
social, and civic life, such as Black,
Latino, and Indigenous and Native
American persons, Asian Americans
and Pacific Islanders and other persons
of color; members of religious
minorities; lesbian, gay, bisexual,
