* "Reported disabilities" includes employees who self-identify as an individual with a disability or targeted disability using the SF-256 *Self-Identification of a Disability Form* and employees who were appointed under hiring authorities that take disability into account, i.e., 30% or More Disabled Veteran Appointment and Schedule A Hiring Authority, who have not otherwise self-identified as having a disability.  See 29 C.F.R. § 1614.203.

** "Targeted disabilities" are a subset of reportable disabilities that the Federal Government, as a matter of policy, has identified for special emphasis. Targeted disabilities listed on the SF-256 form include: developmental disability, traumatic brain injury, deaf or serious difficulty hearing, blind or serious difficulty seeing, missing extremities, significant mobility impairment, partial or complete paralysis, epilepsy or other seizure disorders, intellectual disability, significant psychiatric disorder, dwarfism, and significant disfigurement.  For more information, see the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's (EEOC), *Improving the Participation Rate of People with Targeted Disabilities in the Federal Workforce*, January 2008.
