| 2025-11-10 | Nondiscrimination in Federally Assisted Programs or Activities Receiving Federal Financial Assistance From the Commission | NRC | This form is used to report discrimination in NRC programs.

Because the public was denied an opportunity to comment on those chnages at the time, it would be appropriate to comment on that change as a part of this comment period. | Non-Discrimination |

Because the public was denied an opportunity to comment on those changes at the time, it would be appropriate to comment on those changes as a part of this comment period. | Non-Discrimination |
