**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, pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions, 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.
NASA is committed to effectively performing the Agency's communication function in accordance with the Space Act Section 203 (a)(3) to “provide for the widest practicable and appropriate dissemination of information concerning its activities and the results thereof,” and to enhance public understanding of, and participation in, the nation's aeronautical and space program in accordance with the NASA Strategic Plan.
**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 § 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;
• Signed by the individual and/or his or her representative; and
• 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-1355 form to ensure the individual who wishes to utilize the EEO process complies with the requirements listed above
