system. Additionally, the prior renewal
relied on a time-study and limited
consultations for burden. In this
renewal, there is no change in the
number of respondents or the number of
responses from the prior ICR. The
decrease in respondent burden occurred
as a result of adjustments to the burden
required for the gathering, review,
quality assurance, and upload or
submittal of data to ICIS-Air and any
additional trainings, calls, or upkeep
activities. This ICR includes no burden
associated with AFS or the transition to

ACTION: Notice of a modified system of
records.
AGENCY:
The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC, Commission, or
Agency) has modified an existing
system of records, FCC/OWD–1,
Reasonable Accommodation Requests,
subject to the Privacy Act of 1974, as
amended. This action is necessary to
meet the requirements of the Privacy
Act to publish in the Federal Register
notice of the existence and character of
records maintained by the agency. The
FCC’s Office of Workforce Diversity
(OWD) uses this system to provide a
method by which the FCC can identify
Commission employees who have
requested ‘‘reasonable
accommodations’’ in their office, work
stations, use other FCC facilities, and/or
to access other benefits and privileges of
employment. Information on the
disposition of each request is also
maintained in this system.
DATES: This action will become effective
on February 11, 2019. Written
comments on the system’s routine uses
are due by March 13, 2019. The routine
uses in this action will become effective
on March 13, 2019 unless written
comments are received that require a
contrary determination.
SUMMARY:

breach situations; (7) Assistance to
Federal Agencies and Entities for
assistance with other Federal agencies’
data breach situations; and (8) For NonFederal Personnel to allow contractors
performing or working on a contract for
the Federal Government access to
information. Routine Uses (6) and (7)
are required by OMB Memorandum m–

OMB guidance.
2. Adding information to the Purposes to note that the ``request

to be consistent with the language and phrasing now used in the FCC's
SORNs.
4. Adding the new or revised information that OWD will obtain from
FCC Forms 5626 and 5627 as well as minor changes to the language in the
Categories of Records to be consistent with the language and phrasing
now used in the FCC's SORNs.
5. Updating and/or revising language in five routine uses: (1)
Adjudication and Litigation; (2) Law Enforcement and Investigation; (3)
Congressional Inquiries; (4) Government-wide Program Management and
Oversight; and (5) Labor Relations.
6. Adding three new routine uses: (6) Breach Notification to
address the Commission's real or suspected data breach situations; (7)
Assistance to Federal Agencies and Entities for assistance with other
Federal agencies' data breach situations; and (8) For Non-Federal
Personnel to allow contractors performing or working on a contract for
the Federal Government access to information. Routine Uses (6) and (7)
are required by OMB Memorandum m-17-12.
