I. Abstract
Under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Federal agencies must provide reasonable accommodation to qualified applicants with disabilities, unless to do so would cause undue hardship.
Executive Order 13164 requires Federal agencies to provide written procedures for reasonable accommodation for applicants. In order to evaluate and ensure that the process and requests for reasonable accommodation are done in a fair, timely, and equitable manner, applicants are required to verify their request in writing by using a form (CD-575). The form is also used for internal data tracking regarding the number and types of reasonable accommodations requested and granted (or denied). This information is required by the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission to be compiled and analyzed on an annual basis.

The information will be collected in paper or electronic format.
