The Office shall prepare and submit to the Committee on the Judiciary of the Senate and the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives, and publish on the public website of the Office, an annual report regarding payments from the account described in section 415(a) that were the result of claims alleging a violation of subtitle A (referred to in this subsection as covered payments ). The reporting required under this paragraph shall— include the amount of such a covered payment and information on the employing unit involved; and identify each provision of subtitle A that was the subject of a claim resulting in the covered payment.
The report required under this paragraph shall be submitted by January 31 of each year and shall reflect covered payments made in the previous calendar year. In preparing, submitting, and publishing the reports required under paragraph (1), the Office shall ensure that the identity or position of any claimant is not disclosed. In carrying out paragraph (2), the Judicial Integrity Officer, in consultation with the Board, may make an appropriate redaction to the data included in the report described in paragraph
(1)if the Judicial Integrity Officer, in consultation with the Board, determines that including the data considered for redaction may lead to the identity or position of a claimant unintentionally being disclosed. The report shall note each redaction and include a statement that the redaction was made solely for the purpose of avoiding such an unintentional disclosure of the identity or position of a claimant. The Judicial Integrity Officer shall retain a copy of the report described in paragraph (1), without redactions. In this subsection, the term claimant means an individual who received an award or settlement, related to a violation of subtitle A, or who made an allegation of a violation of subtitle A against an employing unit. On an annual basis, the Office shall submit to the Committee on the Judiciary of the Senate and the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives a report that includes, for the previous year, data collected pursuant to section 301(h)(5) for each employing unit, to the extent the data reasonably can be anonymized, as well as analyses of trends comparing such data for the previous year to such data for years before the previous year.
