About the Online Hotline
Complaint Form
The Office of Inspector General investigates fraud,
waste, abuse, and whistleblower reprisal involving
programs within the Department of Commerce and its
bureaus and any grant funds or Commerce contracts.
If your complaint concerns a
federal agency but does not specifically involve
wrongdoing concerning a Department of Commerce employee,
grant, or contract, please visit
IGNET to see a list of inspectors general in other
federal agencies.
If your complaint involves a
state or local government, please contact that state's
attorney or attorney general.
If your complaint involves a
U.S. patent or intellectual property, visit
USPTO.
If you wish to report identity
theft, visit the
Federal Trade Commission's identity theft reporting page.
If you wish to report prohibited
personnel practices, visit either
the Office of Special Counsel or
Merit Systems Protection Board.
If your complaint concerns EEO
matters, please contact the
Department of Commerce, Office of Civil Rights.
If you wish to report Prohibited
Personnel Practices (PPP), contact the
