Justification for Seeking Exemption to Figure 1

Justification for Using Figure 2

Request an exemption to update the race and ethnicity question to Figure 2 in the Statistical Policy Directive 15 Standards for Maintaining, Collecting, and Presenting Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity (SPD 15). This will maintain the level of information presented currently in the WGR surveys and not add to survey burden on an already extensive survey.
