No FEAR Act
  

No FEAR Act

On May 15, 2002, President Bush signed into law the Notification and Federal Employee Anti-Discrimination and Retaliation (No FEAR) Act to increase federal agency accountability for acts of discrimination or reprisal against employees. The No FEAR Act became effective on October 1, 2003.

This act requires that federal agencies post on their public Web sites certain summary statistical data relating to equal employment opportunity complaints filed against the respective agencies.

The State Department's public website contains this statistical information in accordance with the No FEAR Act. This data is updated on a quarterly basis.

For questions concerning this data, please contact the Office of Civil Rights at socr@state.gov
