Abstract: As set forth under 29 CFR 1614, the EEO complaint process prescribes that when an aggrieved individual believes that they have been discriminated against on the basis of their race, color, religion, sex (including sexual orientation, gender identity and expressions, and pregnancy), national origin, age, disability, genetic information (including family medical history), marital status, parental status, political affiliation, military service, and reprisal and seeks EEO counseling, the assigned EEO Counselor will conduct the pre-complaint (Informal) with the intentions of resolving the complaint within the Agency. At the conclusion of pre-complaint (Informal) process and if resolution was unsuccessful, the EEO Counselor during the final interview with the aggrieved person must discuss what occurred during the counseling process and provide the aggrieved with information to move the matter forward. Pursuant to 29 CFR § 1614.105(c), if the aggrieved individual decides to file a Formal complaint (i.e., NRC Form 646), the EEO Counselor must submit a written report (i.e., EEO Counselors Report) within fifteen (15) calendar days to the SBCR Director or designated official that will contain relevant information about the aggrieved individual, jurisdiction, claims, bases, Responding Management Officials (RMO), witnesses, requested remedies, and the EEO Counselor's checklist. Once received by the NRC, an authorized NRC representative will place the completed NRC Form 646 in a secure folder created specifically for the aggrieved individual within an automated tracking system.
