Nondiscrimination in Federally Assisted Commission Programs.
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0053.
    3. Type of submission: Revision.
    4. The form number, if applicable: NRC Forms 782.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: NRC Form 782 
is submitted on occasion, if any person believes himself or any 
specific class of individuals have been subjected to discrimination 
prohibited by title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) part 
4, subpart A--Regulations Implementing Title VI of the Civil Rights Act 
of 1964 and Title IV of the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974, on 
behalf of the primary funding recipient or any other recipient that 
received NRC Federal financial assistance through the primary funding 
recipient. Self-evaluations are performed throughout the duration of 
obligation based on 10 CFR 4.231, Responsibility of applicants and 
recipients.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Recipients of Federal 
Financial Assistance provided by the NRC (including Educational

responses).
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 200.
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the

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. 
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.

accurate?
    3. Is there a way to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of
