SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

General Information 

The U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) plans to create a Privacy 

Act system of records for the Labor and 

Employee Relations Information System 

(LERIS). LERIS will be used by LER 

Specialists, personnel or labor attorneys 

in the Office of Regional Counsel and 

EPA headquarters, LER attorneys in the 

EPA headquarters, and attorneys in the 

Office of General Counsel for the 

processing of grievances, demands to 

bargain, information requests and unfair 

labor practices filed by unions on behalf 

of their bargaining unit members, and 

processing disciplinary actions or 

performance-based actions against 

employees for misconduct or deficient 

job performance. LERIS will enable LER 

employees to access case information 

across the Agency for use in 

determining appropriate disciplinary 

penalties when those grievances, 

complaints, unfair labor practices or 

disciplinary actions lead to formal 

judicial or administrative hearings 

before a judge. The system will also 

report trends in LER issues. 

The implementation of LERIS will 

have no effect on the privacy of 

individuals. The system is passwordprotected and access is restricted to 

Agency Human Resources (HR) 

specialists and legal staff who have a 

work-related need to utilize the 

information in the system. Permissionlevel assignments allow users access 

only to those functions for which they 

are authorized. All records are 

maintained in secure, access-controlled 

areas or buildings. The system is 

accessed from an internet browser using 

the Agency’s secured portal and 

requires a user to have an established 

log-in name and password. 

The system is maintained at a 

contractor’s Xiolink facility in St. Louis, 

Missouri. LERIS is maintained by the 

Office of Human Resources, Labor and 

Employee Relations Division.
