II. Background

    Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently submitted a renewal of an existing 
collection of information to OMB for review entitled, 10 CFR part 4, 
``Nondiscrimination in Federally Assisted Programs or Activities 
Receiving 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 June 8, 2020, (85 FR 34768).
    1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR part 4, 
Nondiscrimination in Federally Assisted Commission Programs or 
Activities Receiving Assistance from the Commission.
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0053.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number if applicable: NRC Forms 781 and 782.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: On occasion. 
NRC Form 781, ``SBCR Compliance Review'' is a required form that should 
be submitted by the recipient upon initiation or modification of a 
program, during the pre-award and post-award stage, periodic 
monitoring, and, if a complaint is being processed during the pre-award 
application phase and upon request from an authorized NRC official 
during the post-award review phase. 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 10 CFR part 4, ``Subpart A--Regulations Implementing Title VI of the 
Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Title IV of the Energy Reorganization Act 
of 1974 Discrimination Prohibited,'' 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 Non-profit Organizations receiving Federal 
financial assistance, and Agreement States).
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 502 (102 reporting 
responses + 200 recordkeeping responses + 200 third-party disclosure 
responses).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 200.
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
comply with the information collection requirement or request: 802 
hours (102 hours reporting + 650 hours recordkeeping + 50 hours third-
party disclosure).
    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 Assistance from the Commission.'' Respondents must 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. 
NRC Form 781, ``SBCR Compliance Review'' is a required form that should 
be submitted by the recipient upon initiation or modification of a 
program, during the pre-award and post-award stage, periodic 
monitoring, and, if a complaint is being processed during the pre-award 
application phase and upon request from an authorized NRC official 
during the post-award review phase. This information is necessary for 
determining whether any persons are or will be denied such services 
provided by the primary funding recipient on the basis of prohibited 
discrimination. 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.
