SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    Federal agencies are required by statute not to engage in 
discrimination on the bases of race, color, religion, sex, national 
origin, age, disability, genetic information, or retaliation. A federal 
employee, former employee, or job applicant who believes s/he was 
discriminated against has a right to file a complaint with the agency's 
office responsible for its Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) programs. 
Federal agencies must offer pre-complaint counseling or EEO alternative 
dispute resolution (EEO ADR) to individuals who allege that they were 
discriminated against by the agency. If pre-complaint counseling or EEO 
ADR does not resolve the dispute(s), the individual can file a formal 
discrimination complaint with the agency's EEO office.

II. Methods of Collection

    Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 1614 Section 
104 requires agencies to establish procedures for processing individual 
and class complaints of discrimination that include the provisions 
contained in 29 CFR 1614.105 through 1614.110 and in Sec.  1614.204, 
which are consistent with all other applicable Federal EEO regulations 
and complaint processing requirements contained in the Equal Employment 
Opportunity Commission (EEOC) Management Directives (MD).
    When an individual decides to pursue the formal discrimination 
complaint process, EEOC MD 110 requires that the formal complaint must 
be:
     In writing;
     Specific with regard to the claim(s) that the individual 
raised in pre-complaint counseling and that the person wishes to 
pursue;
     Must be signed by the individual and/or his or her 
representative; and
     Must be filed within fifteen (15) calendar days from the 
date s/he receives the Notice of Right to File a Discrimination 
Complaint.
    Consequently, NASA established NF-1355P form to ensure the 
individual who wishes to utilize the EEO process complies with the 
requirements listed above.

III. Data

    Title: Formal Discrimination Complaint Form.
    OMB Number: 2700-0163.
    Type of Review: Extension of Existing Form.
    Affected Public: Individuals who wish to file a formal 
discrimination complaint against NASA.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 60.
    Estimated Time per Response: 30 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Public Burden Hours: 30 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Government Cost: $500.

IV. Request for Comments

    Comments are invited on: (1) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
NASA, including whether the information collected has practical 
utility; (2) the accuracy of NASA's 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 for OMB approval of this information 
collection. They will also become a matter of public record.
