If you are requesting or aggregating comments from other persons for submission to the NRC, then you should inform those persons not to include identifying or contact information that they do not want to be publicly disclosed in their comment submission. Your request should state that the NRC does not routinely edit comment submissions to remove such information before making the comment submissions available to the public or entering the comment into ADAMS.

II. Discussion

On October 14, 2020 (85 FR 65080), the NRC solicited comments on “Information Collection: Nondiscrimination in Federally Assisted Programs or Activities Receiving Assistance from the Commission.” Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently submitted a renewal of an existing collection of information to OMB for review entitled, 10 CFR part 4, “Nondiscrimination in Federally Assisted Programs or Activities Receiving Assistance from the Commission.” The NRC hereby informs potential respondents that an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and that a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The public comment period was originally scheduled to close on November 13, 2020. The NRC has decided to extend the public comment period on this document until December 14, 2020, to allow more time for members of the public to submit their comments because the NRC Form 782, “Complaint Form” has been updated to include a revised Privacy Act Statement.
