Agency Information Collection

3090–1
Office for Civil Rights and Civil
Liberties, DHS.
ACTION: 60-Day notice and request for
comments; Reinstatement with change
of a previously approved collection,
1610–0001.
AGENCY:

The Department of Homeland
Security, Office for Civil Rights and
Civil Liberties, will submit the
following Information Collection
Request (ICR) to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (Pub. L. 104–13, 44 U.S.C. Chapter
35).
DATES: Comments are encouraged and
will be accepted until December 22,
2014. This process is conducted in
accordance with 5 CFR 1320.1.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,
identified by docket number DHS–
2014–0058, by one of the following
methods:
• Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://
www.regulations.gov. Please follow the
instructions for submitting comments.
• Email: [email protected]. Please
include docket number DHS–2014–0058
in the subject line of the message.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: It is the
policy of the Government of the United
States to provide equal opportunity in
employment for all persons, to prohibit
discrimination in employment because
of race, color, religion, sex, national
origin, age, disability, protected genetic
information, sexual orientation, or
status as a parent, and to promote the
full realization of equal employment
opportunity (EEO) through a continuing
affirmative program in each agency.
Persons who claim to have been
subjected to these types of
discrimination, or to retaliation for
opposing these types of discrimination
or for participating in any stage of
administrative or judicial proceedings
relating to them, can seek a remedy
under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act
SUMMARY:

(Title VII) (42 U.S.C. 2000e et seq.) (race,
color, religion, sex, national origin), the
Age Discrimination in Employment Act
(ADEA) (29 U.S.C. 621 et seq.) (age), the
Equal Pay Act (29 U.S.C. 206(d)) (sex),
the Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. 791 et
seq.) (disability), the Genetic
Information Nondiscrimination Act
(GINA) (42 U.S.C. 2000ff et seq.)
(genetic information), and Executive
Order 11478 (as amended by Executive
Orders 13087 and 13152) (sexual
orientation or status as a parent).
The Department of Homeland
Security (DHS), Office for Civil Rights
and Civil Liberties (CRCL) adjudicates
discrimination complaints filed by
current and former DHS employees, as
well as applicants for employment to
DHS. The complaint adjudication
process for statutory rights is outlined in
the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission (EEOC) regulations found
at Title 29, Code of Federal Regulations
Part 1614 and EEO Management
Directive 110. For complaints regarding
sexual orientation or status as a parent,
DHS follows the same procedures as for
statutory rights, to the extent permitted
by law.
The recordkeeping provisions are
designed to ensure that a current
employee, former employee, or
applicant for employment claiming to
be aggrieved or that person’s attorney
provide a signed statement that is
sufficiently precise to identify the
aggrieved individual and the agency and
to describe generally the action(s) or
practice(s) that form the basis of the
complaint. The complaint must also
contain a telephone number and address
where the complainant or the
representative can be contacted. The
complaint form is used for original
allegations of discrimination but also for
amendments to underlying complaints
of discrimination. The form also
determines whether the person is
willing to participate in mediation or
other available types of alternative
dispute resolution (ADR) to resolve their
complaint; Congress has enacted
legislation to encourage the use of ADR
in the federal sector and the form
ensures that such an option is
considered at this preliminary stage of
the EEO complaint process.
A complainant may access the
complaint form on the agency Web site
and may submit a completed complaint
form electronically to the relevant
Component’s EEO Office. The complaint
form can then be directly uploaded into
the DHS EEO Enterprise Complaints
Tracking System, also known as
‘‘iComplaints.’’
There is no change or adjustment to
the burden associated with the

E:\FR\FM\22OCN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 204 / Wednesday, October 22, 2014 / Notices
collection of information associated
with the DHS complaint form. DHS is
proposing to make one change to the
DHS compliant form. This change is the
addition of a new checkbox that says
‘‘gender identity’’ as a sub-category
under the existing checkbox that says
‘‘sex’’ on the form. Gender identity
discrimination is a form of sex
discrimination, which is covered under
Title VII. So this information is already
included in data gathered in EEO
complaints; adding the separate check
box just more clearly identifies a subcategory. This form modification is in
accordance with new instructions from
EEOC—requiring all government
agencies to specifically identify this
type of information on our complaint
forms.
The Office of Management and Budget
is particularly interested in comments
which:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.

The Joint
Analysis Center (JAC), of the Operation
Support Division, is responsible for
providing awareness of the Global
Nuclear Detection Architecture (GNDA),
and functions as a central point of the
GNDA providing awareness of nuclear
threats to the Domestic Nuclear
Detection Office (DNDO). The JAC plans
to implement a Regional Equipment and
Capabilities Exchange (RECE) to identify
and compare existing information
referencing the domestic nuclear
radiological detection capabilities of all
participating stakeholders.
The circumstances that make the
RECE necessary is the need for a
database that accurately reflects the
current R/N detection capabilities
federal, state, tribal, territorial, and local
(FSTTL) stakeholders.
The RECE will recognize a standard
process and procedure that the JAC
facilitates to ensure a collaborative and
coordinated data collection
methodology is followed for fidelity of
information. The successful
implementation of the RECE will aid
DNDO in achieving specific objectives
mandated in National Security
Presidential Directive (NSPD)–43/
Homeland Security Presidential
Directive (HSPD)–14, and codified in
Title 6, United States Code (U.S.C.) 592.
Attached is the HSPD14/NSPD43,
please reference the following sections
within NSPD–43/HSPD–14:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Subject: Domestic Nuclear Detection
(1)(b) Continue to enhance the
effective integration of nuclear and
radiological detection capabilities across
Federal, State, local, and tribal
governments and the private sector for
a managed, coordinated response;
(2)(b) Enhance and coordinate the
nuclear detection efforts of Federal,
State, local, and tribal governments and
the private sector to ensure a managed,
coordinated response;
(2)(f) Support and enhance the
effective sharing and use of appropriate
information generated by the
intelligence community, law
enforcement agencies, counterterrorism
community, other government agencies,
and foreign governments, as well as
provide appropriate information to
these entities; and
DNDO needs the information to be
collected by the RECE to enhance and
coordinate the rad/nuc detection efforts
of Federal, State, local and tribal
governments, and to effectively share
the resources information with all
interested entities.
Although not legal justification to
collect information, the 2010 GNDA
Strategic Plan goals are provided as
