Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

Issuing agencies

Abstract

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) intends to rename, update, and reissue an existing system of records notice currently titled "DOT/ALL 24 Departmental Office of Civil Rights (DOCR) System." This Notice is necessary for DOT records that are not covered by the Government-wide System of Records Notices (SORNs) for the Office of Personnel Management (OPM/GOVT-1) and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC/GOVT-1). OPM/GOVT-1 covers general personnel records pertaining to Federal employees. The EEOC/GOVT-1 covers equal employment opportunity records pertaining to claims by Federal employees and applicants for Federal employment who allege they have been discriminated against by a Federal agency under title VII of the Civil Act of 1964, as amended; section 15 of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended; and the Equal Pay Act. The DOT system known as the DOCR General Support System (GSS) covers Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) appeal records and includes correspondence, inquiries, complaints, and appeals filed by individuals, small businesses, or representatives of individuals or small businesses who believe they have been subjected to prohibited discrimination or retaliation by a DOT federally assisted or federally conducted program or activity. Modification to DOT/ALL 24 is necessary due to updates, consolidation and processes used to manage the records in the system.
