What to Report to the OIG Hotline
The Office of Inspector General welcomes your reports of fraudulent activity, waste of resources, abuse of authority, and/or whistleblower reprisals related to U.S. International Trade Commission programs and operations. This includes reports of gross mismanagement or violations of law, rules, or regulations by USITC employees or others associated with USITC programs.
Everyone is permitted to submit reports and information including USITC employees, persons associated with USITC programs, and members of the public.
You are not required to identify yourself when reporting potential fraud, waste and abuse to the OIG Hotline, but choosing to remain anonymous may hinder the Office of Inspector General's ability to fully investigate your complaint.
If you choose to identify yourself, the Office of Inspector General will not disclose your identity without your consent, unless the Inspector General determines that such disclosure is unavoidable during the course of an investigation.
What Not to Report to the OIG Hotline
Anything that is generally not under the jurisdiction of the U.S. International Trade Commission Office of Inspector General, including:
EEO Complaints (please refer to the U.S. International Trade Commission Equal Employment Opportunity Office),
Any emergency requiring immediate assistance, and
Freedom of Information Act requests.
