historic mission of the Department is “to foster,
promote, and develop the foreign and domestic commerce”
of the United States. This has evolved, as a result of
legislative and administrative additions, to encompass
broadly the responsibility to foster, serve, and promote
the Nation’s economic development and technological
advancement. On May 15, 2002, President Bush signed
legislation called the No FEAR Act (Notification and Federal

agencies individually accountable for violations of anti-discrimination
and whistleblower protection laws. U.S. Department of Commerce Strategic Plan and Annual Performance Plans • Strategic
