JUN 1 6 2017 

SUBJECT: Policy Statement on Employment and Advancement of Individuals with Disabilities 

As Director of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), I encourage all of you to 

help make our organization a model employer of individuals with disabilities (lwD), particularly 

those with targeted disabilities. I welcome your continued support as we strive to achieve the 

Department of Defense (DoD) hiring goal of two percent (2.0%) for individuals with targeted 

disabilities. 

To ensure continued compliance with the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, I ask 

that you work together to identify, report, and eliminate barriers and ensure full compliance with 

Section 501 which prohibits discrimination in employment against qualified IwD by Federal 

agencies of the Executive Branch. I also ask that you ensure full compliance with Section 504 

which prohibits any qualified individual with a disability from being excluded from, denied the 

benefits of, or subjected to discrimination under any program or activity that is conducted by or 

receives Federal financial assistance. Requirements under Section 504 include Reasonable 

Accommodation for employees with disabilities, program access, effective communication for 

those with hearing or vision disabilities, and accessible new construction and building 

alterations. DTRA will also comply with Section 508 which requires Federal electronic and 

information technology to be accessible to IwD, including employees and the public. 

We will continue to identify and remove any barriers to hiring, retaining, and promoting 

IwD. Managers and supervisors should work closely with the Equal Opportunity and Diversity 

Programs Office (JOXE) to address impediments to hiring, retaining, and promoting IwD. Our 

ongoing Individuals with Targeted Disabilities Working Group will be a tremendous asset 

towards building a more diverse workforce. 

In accordance with Executive Order 13548, Joint Improvised-Threat Defeat Organization 

(JIDO) Director (JD), Joint Directors, and Staff Office Chiefs will collaborate with the Human 

Resources Directorate (JI) and JOXE to increase opportunities for IwD through the use of the 

Schedule A Hiring Authority; veterans' programs, such as Wounded Warrior; the Workforce 

Recruitment Program; and other Federal, DoD, and special military programs. These efforts will 

help us reach IwD who seek employment with DTRA. 

For information on the Reasonable Accommodation (RA) process or to obtain the RA 

Request Form (DTRA Form 123), please contact the Agency RA Coordinator in JI at (703)767-

0166.
