Sec. 1252.401  Complaints.



    (a) Any person, individually or as a member of a class or on behalf 

of others, may file a complaint with NASA, alleging discrimination 

prohibited by the Act or these regulations based on an action occurring 

on or after July 1, 1979. A complaint must be filed within 180 days from 

the date the complainant first had knowledge of the alleged act of 

discrimination. However, for good cause shown, NASA may extend this time 

limit.

    (b) NASA will attempt to facilitate the filing of complaints 

wherever possible, including taking the following measures:

    (1) Accepting as a sufficient complaint, any written statement, 

which identifies the parties involved and the date the complainant first 

had knowledge of the alleged violation, describes generally the action 

or practice complained of, and assigned by the complainant.

    (2) Freely permitting a complainant to add information to the 

complaint to meet the requirements of a sufficient complaint.

    (3) Widely disseminating information regarding the obligations of 

recipients under the Act and these regulations.

    (5) Notifying the complainant and the recipient (or their 

representatives) of their right to contact NASA for information and 

assistance regarding the complaint resolution process.

    (c) NASA will return to the complainant any complaint outside the 

jurisdiction of these regulations, and will state the reason(s) why it 

is outside the jurisdiction of these regulations.
