disclosure is prohibited by 5 U.S.C. 

2302(b)(8). If you believe that you have 

been the victim of whistleblower 

retaliation, you may file a written 

complaint (Form OSC–11) with the U.S. 

Office of Special Counsel at 1730 M 

Street, NW., Suite 218, Washington, DC 

20036–4505 or online through the OSC 

Web site—http://www.osc.gov. 

Retaliation for Engaging in Protected 

Activity 

A Federal agency cannot retaliate 

against an employee or applicant 

because that individual exercises his or 

her rights under any of the Federal 

antidiscrimination or whistleblower 

protection laws listed above. If you 

believe that you are the victim of 

retaliation for engaging in protected 

activity, you must follow, as 

appropriate, the procedures described in 

the Antidiscrimination Laws and 

Whistleblower Protection Laws sections 

or, if applicable, the administrative or 

negotiated grievance procedures in 

order to pursue any legal remedy. 

Disciplinary Actions 

Under the existing laws, each agency 

retains the right, where appropriate, to 

discipline a Federal employee for 

conduct that is inconsistent with 

Federal Antidiscrimination and 

Whistleblower Protection Laws up to 

and including removal. If OSC has 

initiated an investigation under 5 U.S.C. 

1214, however, according to 5 U.S.C. 

1214(f), agencies must seek approval 

from the Special Counsel to discipline 

employees for, among other activities, 

engaging in prohibited retaliation. 

Nothing in the No FEAR Act alters 

existing laws or permits an agency to 

take unfounded disciplinary action 

against a Federal employee or to violate 

the procedural rights of a Federal 

employee who has been accused of 

discrimination. 

Additional Information 

For further information regarding the 

No FEAR Act regulations, refer to 5 CFR 

part 724, as well as the appropriate 

offices within the Tennessee Valley 

Authority (e.g., Equal Opportunity 

Compliance, Human Resources, the 

Office of the Inspector General, and 

TVA’s Ombudsman). Additional 

information regarding Federal 

antidiscrimination, whistleblower 

protection and retaliation laws can be 

found at the EEOC Web site—http:// 

www.eeoc.gov and the OSC Web site—

http://www.osc.gov. 

Existing Rights Unchanged 

Pursuant to section 205 of the No 

FEAR Act, neither the Act nor this 

notice creates, expands or reduces any 

rights otherwise available to any 

employee, former employee or applicant 

under the laws of the United States.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), 

in cooperation with the Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM), is preparing a Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement for the 

proposed Southern Nevada 

Supplemental Airport (SNSA). The need 

to prepare an Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS) is based on the 

procedures described in FAA Order 

1050.1E, Environmental Impacts: 

Policies and Procedures, FAA Order 

5050.4B, National Environmental Policy 

Act (NEPA) Implementing Instructions 

for Airport Actions, and BLM NEPA 

Handbook H–1790–1. Further, the FAA 

and BLM are preparing this EIS jointly 

pursuant to the Ivanpah Valley Airport 

Lands Transfer Act of 2000, (Pub. L.

build the airport along Interstate 

Highway 15 north of the Nevada/ 

California border about 30 miles south 

of Las Vegas, between Primm and Jean 

in Clark County, Nevada. The purpose 

of the proposed airport is to provide 

additional capacity to accommodate the 

forecasted growth in air carrier aircraft 

operations and aviation passenger 

demand into the Las Vegas area. This 

airport would supplement existing air 

carrier capacity at McCarran 

International Airport (LAS). The Draft 

EIS is also being prepared by FAA and 

BLM pursuant to the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969. 

FAA and BLM are making the Draft 

Purpose and Need Working Paper 

available to the public and 

governmental agencies for review and 

comment. This working paper contains 

information that the FAA and BLM will 

include into the Purpose and Need 

Section of the Draft EIS. FAA and BLM
