following Information Collection 

Request (ICR) to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and clearance in accordance 

with the Paperwork Reduction Act of

35). 

DATES: Comments are encouraged and

methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: http:// 

www.regulations.gov. Please follow the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: It is the 

policy of the Government of the United 

States to provide equal opportunity in 

employment for all persons, to prohibit 

discrimination in employment because 

of race, color, religion, sex, national 

origin, age, disability, protected genetic 

information, sexual orientation, or 

status as a parent, and to promote the 

full realization of equal employment 

opportunity (EEO) through a continuing 

affirmative program in each agency. 

Persons who claim to have been 

subjected to these types of 

discrimination, or to retaliation for 

opposing these types of discrimination 

or for participating in any stage of 

administrative or judicial proceedings 

relating to them, can seek a remedy 

under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act 

(Title VII) (42 U.S.C. 2000e et seq.) (race, 

color, religion, sex, national origin), the 

Age Discrimination in Employment Act 

(ADEA) (29 U.S.C. 621 et seq.) (age), the 

Equal Pay Act (29 U.S.C. 206(d)) (sex), 

the Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. 791 et 

seq.) (disability), the Genetic 

Information Nondiscrimination Act 

(GINA) (42 U.S.C. 2000ff et seq.) 

(genetic information), and Executive 

Order 11478 (as amended by Executive 

Orders 13087 and 13152) (sexual 

orientation or status as a parent). 

The Department of Homeland 

Security (DHS), Office for Civil Rights 

and Civil Liberties (CRCL) adjudicates 

discrimination complaints filed by 

current and former DHS employees, as 

well as applicants for employment to 

DHS. The complaint adjudication 

process for statutory rights is outlined in 

the Equal Employment Opportunity 

Commission (EEOC) regulations found 

at Title 29, Code of Federal Regulations 

Part 1614 and EEO Management 

Directive 110. For complaints regarding 

sexual orientation or status as a parent, 

DHS follows the same procedures as for 

statutory rights, to the extent permitted 

by law. 

The recordkeeping provisions are 

designed to ensure that a current 

employee, former employee, or 

applicant for employment claiming to 

be aggrieved or that person’s attorney 

provide a signed statement that is 

sufficiently precise to identify the 

aggrieved individual and the agency and 

to describe generally the action(s) or 

practice(s) that form the basis of the 

complaint. The complaint must also 

contain a telephone number and address 

where the complainant or the 

representative can be contacted. The 

complaint form is used for original 

allegations of discrimination but also for 

amendments to underlying complaints 

of discrimination. The form also 

determines whether the person is 

willing to participate in mediation or 

other available types of alternative 

dispute resolution (ADR) to resolve their 

complaint; Congress has enacted 

legislation to encourage the use of ADR 

in the federal sector and the form 

ensures that such an option is 

considered at this preliminary stage of 

the EEO complaint process. 

A complainant may access the 

complaint form on the agency Web site 

and may submit a completed complaint 

form electronically to the relevant 

Component’s EEO Office. The complaint 

form can then be directly uploaded into 

the DHS EEO Enterprise Complaints 

Tracking System, also known as 

‘‘iComplaints.’’ 

There is no change or adjustment to 

the burden associated with the 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 204 / Wednesday, October 22, 2014 / Notices 63139 

collection of information associated 

with the DHS complaint form. DHS is 

proposing to make one change to the 

DHS compliant form. This change is the 

addition of a new checkbox that says 

‘‘gender identity’’ as a sub-category 

under the existing checkbox that says 

‘‘sex’’ on the form. Gender identity 

discrimination is a form of sex 

discrimination, which is covered under 

Title VII. So this information is already 

included in data gathered in EEO 

complaints; adding the separate check 

box just more clearly identifies a subcategory. This form modification is in 

accordance with new instructions from 

EEOC—requiring all government 

agencies to specifically identify this 

type of information on our complaint 

forms. 

The Office of Management and Budget 

is particularly interested in comments 

which: 

1. Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

4. Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Joint 

Analysis Center (JAC), of the Operation 

Support Division, is responsible for 

providing awareness of the Global 

Nuclear Detection Architecture (GNDA), 

and functions as a central point of the 

GNDA providing awareness of nuclear 

threats to the Domestic Nuclear 

Detection Office (DNDO). The JAC plans 

to implement a Regional Equipment and 

Capabilities Exchange (RECE) to identify 

and compare existing information 

referencing the domestic nuclear 

radiological detection capabilities of all 

participating stakeholders. 

The circumstances that make the 

RECE necessary is the need for a 

database that accurately reflects the 

current R/N detection capabilities 

federal, state, tribal, territorial, and local 

(FSTTL) stakeholders. 

The RECE will recognize a standard 

process and procedure that the JAC 

facilitates to ensure a collaborative and 

coordinated data collection 

methodology is followed for fidelity of 

information. The successful 

implementation of the RECE will aid 

DNDO in achieving specific objectives 

mandated in National Security 

Presidential Directive (NSPD)–43/

Homeland Security Presidential 

Directive (HSPD)–14, and codified in 

Title 6, United States Code (U.S.C.) 592. 

Attached is the HSPD14/NSPD43, 

please reference the following sections 

within NSPD–43/HSPD–14: 

Subject: Domestic Nuclear Detection 

(1)(b) Continue to enhance the 

effective integration of nuclear and 

radiological detection capabilities across 

Federal, State, local, and tribal 

governments and the private sector for 

a managed, coordinated response; 

(2)(b) Enhance and coordinate the 

nuclear detection efforts of Federal, 

State, local, and tribal governments and 

the private sector to ensure a managed, 

coordinated response; 

(2)(f) Support and enhance the 

effective sharing and use of appropriate 

information generated by the 

intelligence community, law 

enforcement agencies, counterterrorism 

community, other government agencies, 

and foreign governments, as well as 

provide appropriate information to 

these entities; and 

DNDO needs the information to be 

collected by the RECE to enhance and 

coordinate the rad/nuc detection efforts 

of Federal, State, local and tribal 

governments, and to effectively share 

the resources information with all 

interested entities. 

Although not legal justification to 

collect information, the 2010 GNDA 

Strategic Plan goals are provided as
