This clearance
is disapproved according to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 and
5 USC 1320. This clearance violates Directive No. 15, Rac and
Ethnic Standards for Federal Statistics and Administrative
Reporting, which has been valid in OMB since August 1981. Directive
No. 15 requires data on both race and ethnic origin to be
collected. I addition, the paragraph on "Ethnic Origin" published
in the Uniform Crime Report (UCR) and wherever else should be
deleted because it is n true that "The Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) no longer authori s the FBI to collect ethnic origin
data regarding persons arrested." Such a statement is totally
inconsistent with Directive No. 15.
