Discrimination against the Department 

of Commerce. 

OMB Control Number: 0690–0015. 

Form Number(s): CD–498, 498–A. 

Type of Request: Regular (extension of 

a currently approved information 

collection). 

Number of Respondents: 600. 

Average Hours per Response: 30. 

Burden Hours: 300. 

Needs and Uses: The Equal 

Employment Opportunity Commission 

(EEOC) regulations at 29 CFR 1614.106 

require that a Federal employee or 

applicant for Federal employment 

alleging discrimination based on race, 

color, sex, national origin, religion, age, 

disability, or reprisal for protected 

activity must submit a signed statement 

that is sufficiently precise to identify the 

actions or practices that form the bases 

of the complaint. The individual 

completing the form is asked to identify 

the bureau at which the alleged 

discrimination took place, and whether 

the individual worked at that bureau at 

the time of the alleged discrimination. 

The individual completing the form is 

also asked to describe the alleged 

discriminatory action(s) as clearly as 

possible and include the date(s) and to 

articulate the basis or bases of the 

complaint (race, color, sex, etc.). 

Further, the individual completing the 

form is asked to identify the remedy(ies) 

sought for the alleged discrimination. 

Although complainants are not required 

to use the proposed form to file their 

complaints, the Office of Civil Rights 

strongly encourages its use to ensure 

efficient case processing and trend 

analyses of complaint activity. 

The notice requesting public 

comment was published in the Federal 

Register on October 1, 2020, 85 FR 

61923. Public comment was received 

from Lisa Schnall, Senior Attorney 

Advisor, Office of Legal Counsel, Equal 

Employment Opportunity Commission 

on November 30, 2020. 

With respect to the CD–498 and CD– 

498A forms specifically, Ms. Schnall 

recommended that the Department of 

Commerce update information on Form 

CD–498A regarding the processing of 

sexual orientation discrimination 

complaints and ensure that Forms CD– 

498 and 498A include comprehensive 

lists of the protected bases under federal 

employment discrimination laws. Ms. 

Schnall also suggested that the 

Department of Commerce add the legal 

citation for 42 U.S.C. 2000ff and 

‘‘genetic information’’ (or ‘‘genetic 

information (such as family medical 

history’’) to the Privacy Act Statement. 

Ms. Schnall also suggested that the 

Department of Commerce (3) ensure that 

the disclosure provisions applicable to 

Forms CD–498 and CD–498A are 

consistent with the confidentiality 

requirements of the Rehabilitation Act 

of 1973, as amended (Rehabilitation 

Act) and Title II of the Genetic 

Information Nondiscrimination Act 

(GINA). Ms. Schnall further 

recommended that the Department of 

Commerce provide options for agency 

applicants and employees to submit 

employment discrimination complaint 

forms and related information safely 

and expeditiously during the pandemic. 

In response to the public comment 

received, the Department of Commerce 

has updated information on Form CD– 

498A regarding the processing of sexual 

orientation discrimination complaints 

and has included comprehensive lists of 

the protected bases under federal 

employment discrimination laws to 

both forms CD–498 and CD–498A. 

Additionally, the Department of 

Commerce has added the legal citation 

for 42 U.S.C. 2000ff and ‘‘genetic 

information’’ (or ‘‘genetic information 

(such as family medical history’’) to the 

Privacy Act Statement in form CD– 

498A. Further, the Department of 

Commerce has added language to help 

ensure that the disclosure provisions 

applicable to Forms CD–498 and CD– 

498A are consistent with the 

confidentiality requirements of the 

Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended 

(Rehabilitation Act) and Title II of the 

Genetic Information Nondiscrimination 

Act (GINA). Last, with respect to the 

recommendation regarding the 

Department of Commerce providing 

options for agency applicants and 

employees to submit employment 

discrimination complaint forms and 

related information safely and 

expeditiously during the pandemic, the 

Department of Commerce currently has 

an effective procedure in place which 

addresses this concern (i.e., the option 

to submit complaint forms by email to 

the Office of Civil Rights or to the 

applicable Bureau EEO Officer is noted 

on the Notice of Right to File which is 

issued to complainants and which 

accompanies the CD–498 or CD–498A).
