Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 228 / Wednesday, December 1, 2021 / Proposed Rules
Distributional Impact Analysis E.O. 13985: Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government, seeks to advance equity in agency actions and programs. The term equity is defined as consistent and systematic fair, just, and impartial treatment of individuals, including individuals who belong to underserved communities, such as Black, Latino, and Indigenous and Native American persons, Asian Americans and Pacific
Islands, and other persons of color, as well as members of religious minorities, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer LGBTQ+ persons, persons with disabilities, persons who live in rural areas, and persons otherwise adversely affected by persistent poverty or inequality.
To assess the impact of the proposed rule on equity the Department used Current Population Survey CPS data from BLS 100 to determine the ethnic and racial makeup of the most common SOC codes in the H2A program. CPS
only included data for three races, White, Black or African American, and Asian, and one ethnicity, Hispanic or Latino. The results of this analysis for the top ten H2A SOC codes that experience wage impacts SOC codes other than 452041, 452091, 452092, 452093, 537064, 452099 is presented in Exhibit 7. These top 10
SOC codes 101 account for over 90
percent of all the workers in the FY
2021 certification data that experience wage impacts certifications with wages set by the OEWS.
