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 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 the pre-complaint (Informal) process and if the 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 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. 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.
