Department of the Treasury October 26, 2021 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of the Treasury (``Treasury'' or the ``Department'') proposes to modify the current Treasury system of records titled, ``Department of the Treasury, SORN .016Reasonable Accommodations Records System of Records.'' The purpose of this system is to allow Treasury and its bureaus to collect and maintain records on: Applicants for employment who have disabilities; individuals with disabilities to facilitate their participation in a Treasury program or activity, including attendance at a meeting, training, conference or other Treasury- sponsored event at either a Treasury facility or outside Treasury employees who seek accommodations to allow them to perform the essential functions of their job; employees with disabilities who request or receive reasonable accommodation as required by the Department as the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act, as amended by the Americans with Disabilities Amendment Act of 2008 (ADAAA); individuals who receive accommodations under the Family Medical Leave Act, and individuals who request or receive accommodations under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Another purpose of this system is to track and report the processing of Treasury-wide requests for reasonable accommodation while ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including confidentiality requirements protecting information individuals submit in support of accommodation requests.

The Internal Revenue Service, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing information collections, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA). The IRS is soliciting comments concerning the Foreign Tax Credit used by individuals, estate, or trusts.
