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 Notification and Federal Employee 

Anti-discrimination and Retaliation Act (No FEAR Act). The No FEAR Act increases the 

accountability of Federal departments and agencies for acts of discrimination or reprisal against 

employees.

Section 301 of the No FEAR Act requires each Federal agency to post summary statistical data 

pertaining to complaints of employment discrimination 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 section 301(b) of the 

No FEAR Act and at 29 CFR 1614.704. The required summary statistical data for formal Equal 

Employment Opportunity (EEO) complaints is provided below. 

In addition, section 302(a) of the No FEAR Act requires the Federal Law Enforcement Training 

Centers (FLETC) to post government-wide, summary statistical 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 posting 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 responsibilities.

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

year 2017 through 4th Quarter fiscal year 2022.
