SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

1. 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.

2. 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.
