In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the United States International Trade Commission (USITC or Commission) proposes to add a new system of records to collect information related to employee- submitted requests for reasonable accommodations, including for reasons relating to a disability, and employee-submitted requests for religious accommodations due to sincerely held religious beliefs, practices, or observances. Records contained in this system are collected to: (1) Allow the USITC to collect and maintain records on prospective, current, and former employees with disabilities who request or receive a reasonable accommodation by the USITC; (2) allow the USITC to collect and maintain records on prospective, current, and former employees with sincerely held religious beliefs, practices, or observances who request or receive a religious accommodation by USITC; (3) track and report the processing of requests for such accommodations to comply with applicable laws and regulations; and (4) preserve and maintain the confidentiality of medical and religious information submitted by or on behalf of applicants or employees requesting such an accommodation.
