The agency has
failed to publish the required Federal Register notices. The 60-day
notice published in 2001 was associated with the review of this
collection in 2002 and cannot be considered to comply with the
requirement for a 60-day notice for this submission. In addition,
the agency has not published a 30-day notice announcing submission
to OMB. The agency has also failed to comply with the terms of
clearance on the prior approval of this collection. These terms of
clearance require the agency to revise its race/ethnicity question
to conform to OMB's 1997 Statistical Order on the subject and to
revise and disclose routine uses of this information under the
Privacy Act so as to ensure that the agency discloses information
outside of the agency only when the agency deems appropriate and
relevant to the purposes for which the information is being
gathered. The agency should also review the requirements of Section
7 of the Privacy Act of 1974, which places restrictions and
conditions on the mandatory collection of Social Security
Number.
