OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET
Further to the June 9, 1994, Notice Regarding Standards for the
Classification of Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity
AGENCY: Executive Office of the President, Office of Management and
Budget (OMB), Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs
ACTION: Announcement of an Additional Public Hearing on Directive No.
15., Race and Ethnic Standards for Federal Statistics and
Administrative Reporting
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Through Congressional hearings and direct correspondence, OMB
has received numerous comments concerning the classification of Native
Hawaiians. One of the suggested changes would involve establishing a
separate category for Native Hawaiians. Alternatively, it has been
proposed that Native Hawaiians should be part of a ``Native American''
category that would also include American Indians, Aleuts, and Eskimos.
Currently, Native Hawaiians are included in the Asian and Pacific
Islander category. To facilitate the participation of the Native
Hawaiian community in the current review of the racial and ethnic
categories, a public hearing will be held in Honolulu.
PUBLIC HEARING: To provide an additional opportunity to hear views from
the public, particularly with respect to the classification of race and
ethnicity for Native Hawaiians, and more generally on Directive No. 15,
OMB has scheduled the following hearing:
