Initial Proposals for Comment

The U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) requests comments on these initial proposals from the Federal Interagency Working Group on Race and Ethnicity Standards (Working Group). Note that these proposals are preliminary and do not reflect the settled opinions of the Working Group, the position of OMB, or the positions of the agencies participating on the Working Group. The Working Group will continue to deliberate, assess evidence, and take into consideration comments received from the public before making final recommendations for OMB’s consideration.
