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 646, ``Formal
Discrimination Complaint.'' 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 8060.
1. The title of the information collection: NRC Form 646, ``Formal
Discrimination Complaint.''
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 646.
5. How often the collection is required or requested: On occasion.
The NRC Form 646 is submitted at the time an aggrieved individual
decides to file a formal complaint of discrimination.
6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Employees, former
employees, or applicants for employment with the NRC, who believe that
they have been subjected to discrimination based on race, color,
national origin, religion, gender, age, disability, reprisal, or sexual
orientation.
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 Right 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. Once received by the NRC, 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.
