Interim Guidance on the use of Race and Ethnic Categories in Affirmative Action Programs
"Beginning in 2007, employers, including Federal contractors, were required to report data about the racial, ethnic, and gender composition of their workforces on a revised Standard Form 100, Employer Information Report (commonly referred to as the "EEO-1 Report"). The revised EEO-1 Report was to be filed for the first time by September 30, 2007.

The previous EEO-1 Report calls for workforce data to be broken down by nine job categories, using five race and ethnic categories. The revised EEO-1 Report changes the race and ethnic categories by adding a new category titled "two or more races" and dividing the category "Asian or Pacific Islander" into two separate categories -"Asian" and "Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islanders." In addition, the approved revisions divide the Officials and Managers job category into two subgroups - Executives/ Senior Level and First/Mid Level Officials. More information about the revised EEO-1 Report may be found on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's website at http://www.eeoc.gov/eeo1/index.html."
