NHeLP Comments on OMB’s Initial Proposals to Revise the Race & Ethnicity Statistical Standards

Executive Summary

NHeLP submitted comments in support of OMB’s proposal to revise the standards that the federal government uses to collect demographic information on race, ethnicity, and tribal affiliation. The revision would improve visibility for a broader range of populations, including multidimensional and intersectional communities. OMB must adequately support implementation of the proposed revisions with resources, public education, and guidance to ensure the successful adoption of the new standards.
