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

[[Page 76260]]

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:
    <bullet> In writing;
    <bullet> Specific with regard to the claim(s) that the individual 
raised in pre-complaint counseling and that the person wishes to 
pursue;
    <bullet> Must be signed by the individual and/or his or her 
representative; and
    <bullet> 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.
