NASA Wants Your Thoughts on Civil Rights Paperwork
Published Date: 1/3/2025
Notice
Summary
NASA is renewing its paperwork that helps make sure everyone who gets NASA grants follows civil rights rules, like not discriminating based on race, gender, or age. This affects businesses and organizations receiving NASA grants, who must submit compliance info every three years if their grant lasts longer than 3 years. Comments on this renewal are open until February 3, 2025, and the process stays electronic and straightforward.
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 5 costs, 0 mixed.
You must file NASA Form 1206 with grants
If you apply for a NASA grant, you must include an assurance of nondiscrimination (NASA Form 1206) as part of the initial grant application. This requirement is based on Title VI, Title IX, Section 504, and the Age Discrimination Act and applies to grant awardees when they submit their initial application.
Triennial compliance reports for long grants
If your NASA award period is longer than 36 consecutive months, you must submit civil rights compliance information every three years (triennially). This requirement applies to grant selectees whose award period exceeds the 36-month threshold.
Subgrantees and contractors covered too
The nondiscrimination requirement extends beyond the primary grant recipient to sub-grantees, contractors, successors, transferees, and assignees, meaning those downstream from a NASA award are also covered by the assurance requirement.
Estimated time burden: 4 hours per response
NASA estimates this information collection will have 250 annual responses, with each response taking about 4 hours and a total annual burden of 1,000 hours. The affected public is business, other for-profit, or not-for-profit entities.
NASA can use submissions for post-award reviews
Information collected on NASA Form 1206 will be used to enable NASA to conduct post-award civil rights compliance reviews of grant recipients. Submitting the form may lead to follow-up review by NASA after an award is made.
