Abstract: All recipients of Federal financial assistance from the NRC are subject to the provisions of 10 CFR Part 4, “Nondiscrimination in Federally Assisted Programs or Activities Receiving Assistance from the Commission.” Respondents must notify participants, beneficiaries, applicants, and employees of nondiscrimination practices and keep records of Federal financial assistance and of their own self-evaluations of policies and practices. NRC Form 781, “SBCR Compliance Review” is a required form that should be submitted by the recipient upon initiation or modification of a program, during the pre-award and post-award stage, periodic monitoring, and, if a complaint is being processed during the pre-award application phase and upon request from an authorized NRC official during the post-award review phase. This information is necessary for determining whether any persons are or will be denied such services provided by the primary funding recipient on the basis of prohibited discrimination. In the event that discrimination is alleged in NRC- conducted and Federal financially assisted programs and activities, it may be reported using NRC Form 782.
