No Fear Act

The Notification and Federal Employee Anti-discrimination and Retaliation (No 

FEAR) Act of 2002, Public Law 107-174

On May 15, 2002, President George W. Bush signed the No�fica�on and Federal Employee An�-

discrimina�on and Retalia�on Act (No FEAR Act). The No FEAR Act increases the accountability of 

Federal departments and agencies for acts of discrimina�on or reprisal against employees.

Sec�on 301 of the No FEAR Act requires each Federal agency to post summary sta�s�cal data pertaining 

to complaints of employment discrimina�on filed against it by employees, former employees and 

applicants for employment under 29 C.F.R. Part 1614, “Federal Sector Equal Employment Opportunity.” 

The specific data to be posted is described in sec�on 301(b) of the No FEAR Act and at 29 CFR 1614.704. 

The required summary sta�s�cal data for formal Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) complaints is 

provided below.

In addi�on, sec�on 302(a) of the No FEAR Act requires the Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers 

(FLETC) to post government-wide, summary sta�s�cal data pertaining to hearings requested pursuant to 

29 C.F.R. Part 1614.706 and appeals filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. That 

data is also available below. The pos�ng of EEO data on an agency’s public web site is intended to assist 

Congress, Federal agencies and the public in assessing whether, and to what extent, Federal agencies 

are in compliance with their equal employment responsibili�es.

The data reported below reflects the status of FLETC’s formal EEO complaints for the fiscal year 2018 

through 4th Quarter fiscal year 2023.
