II. Background
Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently submitted a proposed collection of
information to OMB for review entitled NRC Form 655, ``EEO Counselor's
Report.'' The NRC hereby informs potential respondents that an agency
may not conduct or sponsor, and that a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number.
The NRC published a Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment
period on this information collection on February 11, 2022, 87 FR 8058.
1. The title of the information collection: NRC Form 655, ``EEO
Counselor's Report.''
2. OMB approval number: An OMB control number has not yet been
assigned to this proposed information collection.
3. Type of submission: New.
4. The form number, if applicable: NRC Form 655.
5. How often the collection is required or requested: On occasion.
6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Aggrieved persons who
believe they have been discriminated against in employment on the basis
of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or
genetic information.
7. The estimated number of annual responses: 30.
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 30.
9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the
information collection requirement or request: 30 hours.
10. Abstract: As set forth under 29 CFR 1614, the Equal Employment
Opportunity (EEO) complaint process prescribes that when an aggrieved
individual believes that they have been discriminated against on the
basis of their race, color, religion, sex (including sexual
orientation, gender identity and expressions, and pregnancy), national
origin, age, disability, genetic information (including family medical
history), marital status, parental status, political affiliation,
military service, and reprisal and seeks EEO counseling, the assigned
EEO Counselor will conduct the pre-complaint (Informal) with the
intentions of resolving the complaint within the Agency. At the
conclusion of pre-complaint (Informal) process and if resolution was
unsuccessful, the EEO Counselor during the final interview with the
aggrieved person must discuss what occurred during the counseling
process and provide the aggrieved with information to move the matter
forward. Pursuant to 29 CFR 1614.105(c), if the aggrieved individual
decides to file a Formal complaint (i.e., NRC Form 646), the EEO
Counselor must submit a written report (i.e., EEO Counselors Report)
within fifteen (15) calendar days to the Office of Small Business and
Civil Rights Director or designated official that will contain relevant
information about the aggrieved individual, jurisdiction, claims,
bases, Responding Management Officials, witnesses, requested remedies,
and the EEO Counselor's checklist. The NRC Form 655, ``EEO Counselor's
Report'' is completed by an EEO Counselor during this consultation,
which must be conducted within 45 days of the date of the matter
alleged to be discriminatory or, in the case of personnel action,
within 45 days of the effective date of the action. Once the form is
completed, an authorized NRC representative will place the completed
NRC Form 646 in a secure folder created specifically for the aggrieved
individual within an automated tracking system.
