Minority Group Identification a. Minority group information necessary for this section may be obtained either by visual surveys of the work force, or from post employment records as to the identity of employees. An employee may be included in the minority group to which she or he appears to belong, or is regarded in the community as belonging. Since visual surveys are permitted, the fact that minority group identifications are not present on the company records is not an excuse for failure to provide the data called for. Conducting a visual survey and keeping postemployment records of the race or ethnic origin of employees is legal in all jurisdictions and under all Federal and State Laws. FCC Form 395-B provides for reporting American Indians or Alaskan Natives; Asians or Pacific Islanders; Black, not of Hispanic origin; Hispanics, Whites, not of Hispanic origin; whenever such persons are employed. The category which most closely reflects the individual's recognition in his community should be used to report persons of mixed racial and/or ethnic origins.
