II. Background
Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently submitted a request for renewal of
an existing collection of information to OMB for review entitled,
``Nondiscrimination in Federally Assisted Programs or Activities
Receiving Federal Financial Assistance from the Commission.'' 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 September 9, 2025, 90 FR
43481.
1. The title of the information collection: Nondiscrimination in
Federally Assisted Programs or Activities Receiving Federal Financial
Assistance from the Commission.
2. OMB approval number: 3150-0053.
3. Type of submission: Revision.
4. The form number, if applicable: NRC Forms 781 and 782.
5. How often the collection is required or requested: NRC Form 781,
``SBCR Compliance Review Part A,'' is submitted upon initiation or
modification of a program, during the pre-award and post-award stage,
periodic monitoring, and, if a complaint is being processed. NRC Form
782, ``Complaint Form,'' is submitted on occasion, if any person
believes himself or any specific class of individuals, have been
subjected to discrimination prohibited by part 4 of title 10 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), subpart A, ``Regulations
Implementing Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Title IV of
the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974,'' on behalf of the primary
funding recipient or any other recipient that received NRC Federal
financial assistance through the primary funding recipient. Self-
evaluations are performed throughout the duration of obligation based
on 10 CFR 4.231, ``Responsibility of applicants and recipients.''
6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Recipients of Federal
financial assistance provided by the NRC (including educational
institutions, other nonprofit organizations receiving Federal
assistance, and Agreement States).
7. The estimated number of annual responses: 502.
8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 200.
9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the
information collection requirement or request: 802. (102 hours for
reporting, 650 hours for recordkeeping, and 50 hours for third-party
disclosures).
10. Abstract: All recipients of Federal financial assistance from
the NRC are subject to the provisions of 10 CFR part 4,
``Nondiscrimination in Federally Assisted Programs or Activities
Receiving Federal Financial Assistance from the Commission.''
Respondents must submit assurances of compliance with 10 CFR part 4 and
a complete NRC Form 781, to demonstrate compliance with civil rights
statutes and regulations, Executive Orders, White House education
initiatives, and related provisions of the Energy Policy Act of 2005
for nondiscrimination with respect to race, color, national origin,
sex, disability, or age. Respondents must also notify participants,
beneficiaries, applicants, and employees of nondiscrimination practices
and keep records of Federal financial assistance and of their own self-
evaluations of policies and practices. In the event that discrimination
is alleged in NRC-conducted and Federal financially assisted programs
and activities, it may be reported using NRC Form 782.
