Title: NASA Voluntary On-Line Job Applicant Racial and Ethnic Data Collection
Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 12/03/2009
	Date Received in OIRA: 10/09/2009
Terms of Clearance: NASA needs to re-submit this collection within 6 months. A 60 notice is not required. Please get rid of the decline to answer box – best practice is if the applicant skips this they have declined to answer. This collection will need to have revised purpose section citing the law NASA is using to collect this data and how long is it kept. Also, if there is a SORN or PIA associated with this collection, it will need to be submitted at the same time. Also, please note EEOC is undergoing a process to update the way disability data is collected from Federal job applicants. Until this process is complete, EEOC is asking agencies to remove the disability-related content from applicant flow forms when they come up for renewal. We would expect the revised collection to mirror the current thinking of EEOC on this matter.
