Labor and Employee Relations Information System (LERIS)

The Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Office of Human Resource Management (AHR), specifically the Office of Labor and Employee Relations (AHL), contracted with GDC Integration (GDCI) for the Labor and Employee Relations Information System (LERIS), which is a comprehensive workload tracking system for labor-management relations, employee relations matters, Employee Assistance Program activities, and for the tracking of official passports and visas. The information collected in the LERIS system is governed by the following authorities: 5 U.S.C. Ch. 71; 5 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 771; 22 U.S.C. 211a, DOT Policy Framework for the Prevention of Harassment, FAA Order 1110.125B and Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Management Directive (MD) 715. The FAA conducted this Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) in accordance with the E‐Government Act of 2002. While the LERIS system mainly maintains Personally Identifiable Information (PII) relating to individuals employed by or contracted with the Department of Transportation, PII on members of the public is collected during the passport and visa tracking process for employee dependents and in non-employee complaints received by and investigations conducted by the FAA’s Accountability Board. The PIA is updated to reflect the system of records notices (SORNs) and records retention schedules that apply to the processes that are supported and other administrative items and to clarify content.
