Have the proposed changes to the racial and ethnic categories for 2002 been adopted?
The EEOC has proposed revisions to the EEO-1 and published the initial notice required under the Paperwork Reduction Act on June 11, 2003. See Agency Information Collection Activities: Revision of the Employer Information Report (EEO-1), 68 FR 334965, June 11, 2003. The initial notice proposed changes to the ethnic and racial categories on the EEO-1 report, and also to the job categories. OFCCP intends to coordinate its data collection requirements with the changes made to the EEO-1 to avoid duplicative and inconsistent burdens on the Federal contractor community. OFCCP also intends to provide a reasonable transition period before any further changes by OFCCP become effective.
