DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Comment
Request; NIST Generic Clearance for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and
Accessibility (DEIA) Data Collections
The Department of Commerce will submit the following information
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication of this notice. We invite the
general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed, and
continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of
our information collection requirements and minimize the public's
reporting burden. Public comments were previously requested via the
Federal Register on October 21, 2022, during a 60-day comment period.
This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.
Agency: National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST),
Commerce.
Title: NIST Generic Clearance for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and
Accessibility (DEIA) Data Collections.
OMB Control Number: 0693-XXXX.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular.
Number of Respondents: 30,000.
Average Hours per Response: Varies, dependent upon the data
collection method.
Burden Hours: 15,000.
Needs and Uses: Executive Orders 14035 and 13985 have tasked the
Federal Government with advancing equity within the Federal Government
workforce (E.O. 14035) and advancing racial equity and support for
underserved communities through the Federal Government (E.O. 13985).
Data collection, monitoring, and feedback are key elements of the
Federal Government approach to integrating diversity, equity,
inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) in all ways of working. Executive
Order 14035 on ``Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility in the
Federal Workforce,'' released on June 25, 2021, calls for a data-
driven, whole-of-government approach to cultivating DEIA across the
Federal Government, asking agencies to ``identify areas where evidence
is lacking and propose opportunities to build evidence to advance
diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility and address those gaps
identified.'' Executive Order 13985 on ``Advancing Racial Equity and
Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government,''
released on January 25, 2021, charges agencies with advancing equitable
service delivery through increased engagement with underserved
communities and improved data collection to ``measure equity and
capture the diversity of the American people.'' This generic clearance
will provide NIST with the tools necessary to carry out this endeavor.
Affected Public: Federal government; households and individuals;
the private sector.
Frequency: Varies, depending on collection.
Respondent's Obligation: Select from the following options:
Voluntary.
