I. Abstract
The National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) Office of
Diversity and Equal Opportunity and
the Office of Procurement, in
accordance with Title VI of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the
Education Amendments of 1972,
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of
1973, and the Age Discrimination Act of
1975, requires grant awardees to submit
an assurance of non-discrimination
(NASA Form 1206) as part of their
initial grant application package. The
requirement for assurance of
nondiscrimination compliance
associated with federally assisted
programs is long standing, derives from
civil rights implementing regulations,
and extends to the grant recipient’s subgrantees, contractors, successors,
transferees, and assignees. Grant
selectees are required to submit
compliance information triennially
when their award period exceeds 36
consecutive months. This information
collection will also be used to enable
NASA to conduct post-award civil
rights compliance reviews.
II. Method of Collection
Electronic.
III. Data
Title: NASA Assurance of Civil Rights
Compliance.
OMB Number: 2700–0148.
Type of review: Reinstatement
without change of an existing
information collection.
Affected Public: Business, other forprofit, or not-for-profit.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
800.
Estimated Annual Responses: 250.
Estimated Time per Response: 4
hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 16.6.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $120.
IV. Request for Comments
Comments are invited on:

(1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the

estimate of the burden (including hours
and cost) of the proposed collection of
information; (3) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including automated
collection techniques or the use of other
forms of information technology.
Comments submitted in response to this
notice will be summarized and included
in the request to OMB for approval of
this information collection. They will
also become a matter of public record.
Frances Teel,
NASA PRA Clearance Officer.
