The Trump Administration has taken a strong deregulatory stance and used their selection of individuals, such as Scott Pruitt as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator, Betsy DeVos as the Secretary of Education and Ajit Pai as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman, who are actively hostile to the missions of the agencies they run to start the roll back of public protections from within. Coupled with the Trump anti-regulatory executive orders, deregulatory action is a top policy priority for the administration and a shared commitment among Trump-appointed officials to comply with those orders. Professor Raos nomination to head OIRA is another piece of the Trump deregulatory agenda. Re: Proposals from the Federal Interagency Working Group for Revision of the Standards for Maintaining, Collecting, and Presenting Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity (82 FR 12242) We commend OMB for recognizing that continued racial and ethnic change in the United States requires an evolution in the statistical policy governing how we measure the composition of our population. That policy must strike a balance between the compelling individual interest in identifying oneself and societys interest in ensuring compliance with laws that uphold the civil and constitutional rights of all people. In fact, OMB highlights these primary goals in the historical basis for the Standards: April 28, 2017 Page 2 of 11 Development of these Federal data standards stemmed in large measure from new responsibilities to enforce civil rights laws. Data were needed to monitor equal access to housing, education, employment opportunities, etc. for population groups that historically had experienced discrimination and differential treatment because of their race or ethnicity.i | HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,Justice, Dept of (DOJ),Office of Management & Budget (OMB),SENATE | 0 | 0 | 2017-07-19T15:17:09.183000-04:00 |
