NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
 

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:
