SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a

    Obligation to Respond: Voluntary. Statutory authority for this 
information collection is contained Title VII of the Civil Rights Act 
of 1964, as amended, 29 U.S.C. part 1605; U.S. Equal Employment 
Opportunity Commission's Compliance Manual, Section 12: Religious 
Discrimination (January 15, 2021); U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity

    Needs and Uses: In order to file a religious accommodation request, 
requesters must provide certain information to allow the FCC's Office 
of Workplace Diversity to determine that the employee or applicant 
satisfies the requirements of the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 
1964 for filing a request. The information requested in the Religious 
Accommodation Form assists requesters to provide information to 
ascertain if the requesters sincerely held religious beliefs, 
observances or practices conflict with a specific task or requirement 
of the position or an application process. Specifically, the FCC Form 
5652, the Religious Accommodation Request Form provides information 
regarding the type of accommodation or modification requested, the 
requesters sincerely held belief, and which FCC requirement, policy, or 
practice that conflicts with the requesters sincerely held religious 
observance, practice, or belief.
