SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Access Board is publishing this notice 

to inform the public of the creation of 

a new system of records relating to the 

investigation and adjudication of 

complaints filed with the agency 

alleging violations of the Architectural 

Barriers Act of 1968 (ABA). The ABA 

requires that buildings or facilities that 

were constructed or altered by or on 

behalf of the United States, or leased or 

financed in whole or in part by the 

United States, after August 12, 1968, be 

accessible to individuals with 

disabilities. The Access Board enforces 

the ABA through the investigation of 

complaints filed by members of the 

public or federal employees. See 29 

U.S.C. 792(b)(1). Complaints may be 

submitted by any person and may be 

filed anonymously. Once a complaint is 

filed, it is electronically entered into the 

agency’s complaint tracking system and 

the Board investigates the complaint 

according to the procedures in 36 CFR 

part 1150. Complainants who choose to 

provide their contact information 

(name, phone number, email address, 

and/or physical mailing address), will 

be kept up to date on the status of the 

investigation and any corrective action 

taken by the agency or department in 

question. In the past, this information 

was not considered to be kept in a 

system of records, because while the 

contact information was contained 

within the complaint system, individual 

complaints were not pulled by an 

identifier related to the complainant. 

The Board recently updated to a new 

platform for this system and now 

believes it necessary to establish this 

system as a system of records, so that on 

occasion the compliance specialist can 

pull specific complaints by complainant 

name or email address. This will not 

change the processing of the complaint 

and complaints can still be filed 

anonymously or complainants can 

choose which personally identifying 

information to provide, such as just 

their name and email. 

SYSTEM NAME: 

USAB.002—Complaint Tracking 

System. 

SECURITY CLASSIFICATION: 

Unclassified. 

SYSTEM LOCATION: 

U.S. Access Board, 1331 F Street NW, 

Suite 1000, Washington, DC 20004. 

SYSTEM MANAGER: 

Senior Compliance Specialist, U.S. 

Access Board, 1331 F Street NW, Suite 

1000, Washington, DC 20004. 

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM: 

29 U.S.C. 792(b)(1); 42 U.S.C. 4151 et 

seq.; 36 CFR 1150; and 36 CFR 1191. 

PURPOSE(S) OF THE SYSTEM: 

This system of records supports the 

receipt and investigation of complaints 

alleging violations of the ABA, to
