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 2018 through 2nd Quarter fiscal year 2023.
