Title: Revision of Race and Ethnicity Data Collection Method 
Abstract: The current rule still permits employers to gather race and ethnic data about employees by visual surveys of the workforce or from employment records. This NPRM would update the rule and make employee self-identification the preferred method for collecting race and ethnic data on employees to conform with current reporting instructions for the EEO-1 Report.
