Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

Issuing agencies

Abstract

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC, Commission, or Agency) has modified an existing system of records, FCC/OMD-32, FCC Telework Program, 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 Telework Program provides employees with the voluntary opportunity to work from home or another FCC approved telework location. The records in this system contain personally identifiable information from employees including employment information such as title, grade, series, bureau or office, supervisory chain; work contact information; alternate worksite information, including address and contact information at an alternate worksite; and justification documentation for requests for long-distance or fulltime telework that describe a temporary employee hardship. The FCC uses the information to manage the telework program, including conducting audits and reports.
