2The Board will grant a stay if an informed 

decision on environmental issues (whether raised 

by a party or by the Board’s Office of Environmental 

Analysis (OEA) in its independent investigation) 

cannot be made before the exemptions’ effective 

date. See Exemption of Out-of-Serv. Rail Lines, 5 

I.C.C.2d 377 (1989). Any request for a stay should 

be filed as soon as possible so that the Board may 

take appropriate action before the exemptions’

Provided no formal expression of 

intent to file an offer of financial 

assistance (OFA) has been received, 

these exemptions will be effective on

information is necessary for FAA’s 

performance; (b) the accuracy of the

Title: Notice of Proposed Outdoor 

Laser Operations. 

Form Numbers: FAA Form AC 7140– 

1. 

Type of Review: Reinstatement of an 

information collection. 

Background: The FAA will use the 

information gathered from laser 

operators planning to conduct outdoor 

laser operations to evaluate potential 

hazards to aircraft operating in the 

National Airspace System (NAS). 

Ultimately, the goal is to prevent an 

aircraft from being hit by the laser 

operation. The information will be 

reviewed by one of the three FAAs 

service centers and sent to the facility, 

which can be a Tower, TRACON or 

Center, that is being impacted by the 

operation. The faculty will review the 

proposed operation and state no 

objection or list an objection to the 

operation. If the facility lists an 

objection, then the service center will 

contact the proponent and see if 

adjustments can be made to the 

proposed operation. 

Respondents: Approximately 405 

laser operations. 

Frequency: One time per laser 

operation. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: Approximately 4 hours per 

form. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: An 

estimated 1,620 hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: EEO Complaint Form. 

OMB Control Number: 1505–XXXX. 

Type of Review: New Collection. 

Abstract: Title 29 of the United States 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 

1614, directs agencies to maintain a 

continuing program to promote equal 

opportunity and to identify and 

eliminate discriminatory practices and 

policies. The Department of the 

Treasury (Department) is thus required 

to process complaints of employment 

discrimination from Department 

employees, former employees and 

applicants for jobs with the Department 

who claim discrimination based on their 

membership in a protected class, such 

as, race, color, religion, sex (including 

pregnancy, sexual orientation and 

gender identity), national origin, age 

(over 40), disability, genetic 

information, or retaliation for engaging 

in prior protected activity. Claims of 

discrimination based on parental status 

are processed as established by 

Executive Order 11478 (as amended by 

Executive Order 13152). Federal 

agencies must offer pre-complaint 

‘‘informal’’ counseling and/or 

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) to 

these ‘‘aggrieved individuals’’ (the 

aggrieved), claiming discrimination by 

officials of the Department. If the 

complaint is not resolved during the 

informal process, agencies must issue a 

Notice of Right to File a Complaint of 

Discrimination form to the aggrieved. 

This information is being collected for 

the purpose of processing informal and 

formal complaints of employment 

discrimination against the Department 

on the bases of race, color, religion, sex 

(including pregnancy, sexual orientation 

and gender identity), national origin, 

age (over 40), disability, genetic 

information, parental status, or 

retaliation. Pursuant to 29 CFR 

1614.105, the aggrieved must participate 

in pre-complaint counseling to try to 

informally resolve his/her complaint 

prior to filing a complaint of 

discrimination. Information provided on 

the pre-complaint forms may be used by 

the aggrieved to assist in determining if 

she or he would like to file a formal 

complaint against the Department. 

The information captured on these 

forms will be reviewed by the staff of 

the Department’s Office of Civil Rights 

and Diversity to frame the claims for 

investigation and determine whether the 

claims are within the parameters 

established in 29 CFR part 1614. In 

addition, data from the complaint forms 

is collected and aggregated for the 

purpose of discerning whether any 

Department of the Treasury policies, 

practices or procedures may be 

curtailing the equal employment 

opportunities of any protected group. 

Form: Agreement to Extend 

Counseling with an Extension, Class 

Complaint, ADR Election Form, 

Agreement to Extend Counseling 

without Mediation, Designation of 

Representative and Limited Power of 

Attorney. 

Affected Public: Individuals and 

Households. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 44.07. 

Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. 

Dated: August 25, 2017.
