Subject: NonSubstantive Change Request – Administration for Children and Families Information Collection Updates in Response to the Protecting Women Executive Order.
This memo requests approval of nonsubstantive changes to an Administration for Children and Families (ACF) information collection in response to the Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government Executive Order (Defending Women EO) and recent Presidential Actions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), such as those covered under the EO Initial Recissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions. ACF is submitting multiple requests with very similar updates.
Background
In January 2025, the current Administration released multiple EOs and memoranda requiring updates to information collections that request gender and/or gender identity, to only request “Sex” with the options Male/Female. Additionally, presidential actions focused on the removal of DEI-specific activities. To be responsive to the new administration, ACF is submitting change requests for a number of implicated information collections.
Overview of Requested Changes
ACF has implemented changes to remove language related to DEI and update gender collected data to denote sex as a biological variable in current approved information collection requests to comply with the directives.
This request is specific to only these updates and include the following information collections:
