field__item"><p>For information about the No FEAR Act Training, please go<a href="//www.commerce.gov/cr/reports-and-resources/no-fear-act/no-fear-act-training"> here</a>. </p> <p>On May 15, 2002, President Bush signed legislation called the No FEAR Act (Notification and Federal Antidiscrimination and Retaliation Act of 2002). This act, which took effect on October 1, 2003, makes Federal agencies individually accountable for violations of anti-discrimination and whistleblower protection laws. Requirements and agency responsibilities under the No FEAR Act include:</p> <ul> <li>Payment of settlements and judgments. Agencies that lose or settle discrimination and whistleblower cases must pay judgments out of their individual budgets. In the past, most of these settlements and judgments were paid from a government-wide “judgment fund”. Under the new law, agencies must now reimburse the fund for court judgments and settlement payments to complainants.</li> <li>Employee information and education. Agencies must give their employees, former employees and applicants for employment written notification of discrimination and whistleblower protection laws. This written notification must include posting the information on the agency’s web site. Agencies are also required to provide their employees with training regarding the rights and remedies applicable to them under these laws. The U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC) (<a href="http://www.osc.gov" rel="noreferrer">www.osc.gov</a>) is responsible for ensuring that agencies meet their obligations to inform and educate their employees regarding the WPA. The Office of Special Counsel is an independent federal investigative and prosecutorial agency whose basic mission is to guard against prohibited personnel practices in the federal workplace, with a special emphasis on protecting government whistleblowers.</li> <li>Training for managers. Agencies should ensure that managers have adequate training in the management of a diverse workforce and in dispute resolution and other essential communication skills. For training requirements, please see <a href="https://ecfr.io/Title-05/se5.2.724_1203" rel="noreferrer">5 C.F.R., Chapter I, Subchapter B, Part 724, Subpart B, <span style="font-size:11.0pt"><span style="line-height:107%"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">§</span></span></span>724.203</a>).</li> <li>Annual reports to Congress. Each agency must file an annual report with Congress, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and the Attorney General providing information about discrimination and whistleblower cases filed against the agency, including details on how cases were resolved and any disciplinary actions against agency employees resulting from violations of discrimination and whistleblower protection laws.</li> <li>Posting of EEO complaint data on the Internet. Each Federal agency must post on its public web site summary statistical data relating to equal opportunity complaints filed against the agency. The agency must post data for the current fiscal year on a cumulative basis (year-to-date information), updated quarterly. An agency also must post year-end data for the five previous fiscal years for comparison purposes. In addition, section 302 of the No FEAR Act requires the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to post government-wide, summary statistical data pertaining to hearings requested under 29 C.F.R. Part 1614 and appeals filed with EEOC. The posting of EEO data on agency public web sites is intended to assist Congress, Federal agencies and the public to assess whether and the extent to which agencies are living up to their equal employment opportunity responsibilities. (The specific data to be posted is described in section 301(b) of the No FEAR Act and 29 C.F.R. 1614.704. See the <a href="https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2004-01-26/html/04-1505.htm" rel="noreferrer">Final Rule</a> regarding Posting Requirements in Federal Sector Equal Employment Opportunity).</li> <li>On January 1, 2021, Congress passed EEO reforms, called the Elijah E. Cummings Federal Employee Antidiscrimination Act of 2020, which amended the No FEAR Act, and further strengthened Federal anti-discrimination laws and increased accountability within the Federal Government. Important changes included posting requirements when a violation is found to have occurred; reporting requirements related to findings of discrimination, including retaliation; and the requirement that agencies include a notation in personnel records when taking action against an employee for having engaged in discriminatory acts. Information regarding recent findings of discrimination are displayed below. <strong> </strong></li> </ul> <div data-embed-button="media" data-entity-embed-display="view_mode:media.float_image_w_caption" data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="6b906755-586f-4884-9912-db2509f305e9" data-langcode="en" class="align-center embedded-entity" data-entity-embed-display-settings="[]"> <article class="media media--type-file media--view-mode-"> <div class="field field--name-name field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Recent Findings of Discrimination</div> <div class="field field--name-field-media-file field--type-file field--label-visually_hidden"> <div class="field__label visually-hidden">File</div> <div class="field__item"> <span class="file file--mime-application-pdf file--application-pdf"> <a href="//www.commerce.gov/sites/default/files/2024-11/Recent%20Findings%20of%20Discrimination_1.pdf" type="application/pdf" title="Recent Findings of Discrimination_1.pdf">Recent Findings of Discrimination</a></span> </div> </div> </article> </div> <p style="margin-bottom:8px"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:normal"><span style="tab-stops:261.0pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:14.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Source Sans Pro",sans-serif"><span style="color:black">Read the No FEAR Act <a data-entity-substitution="canonical" data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="52b18d4d-f5db-41cc-b21e-6f8ac0aed334" href="//www.commerce.gov/cr/files/no-fear-act-public-law">here </a>(you will be redirected to a PDF file). </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom:8px"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:normal"><span style="tab-stops:261.0pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:14.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Source Sans Pro",sans-serif"><span style="color:black">For additional information about the No FEAR Act, please read the<a href="https://www.eeoc.gov/eeoc/statistics/nofear/qanda.cfm" rel="noreferrer"> EEOC's Questions and Answers: No FEAR Act Page. </a></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <hr> <h3>Equal Employment Opportunity Data Posted Pursuant to the No FEAR Act</h3> <p><em>(These data tables have been revised to follow the new EEOC format.)</em></p> <p>*If you have trouble viewing the PDF files, right click the PDF link and click "Save As" to download and view.</p> <h4>2024 (1st Quarter)</h4> <ul> <li><a data-entity-substitution="file" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="5c0f5c6a-93b7-4d74-9af3-5d25220aa094" href="//www.commerce.gov/sites/default/files/2024-01/DOC%20%28excluding%20PTO%29%20-%201st%20Qt%20FY%2024.pdf">Department of Commerce Aggregate (excluding PTO)</a></li> <li><a data-entity-substitution="file" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b3e36665-e161-4afe-b3b3-76d9099b0893" href="//www.commerce.gov/sites/default/files/2024-01/Bureau%20of%20the%20Census%20-%20Permanent%20-%201st%20Qt%20FY%2024.pdf">Bureau of the Census</a></li> <li><a data-entity-substitution="file" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="6e87868d-9c53-46e2-b036-c2f939dce7cc" href="//www.commerce.gov/sites/default/files/2024-01/Bureau%20of%20the%20Census%20-%20Decennial%20-%201st%20Qt.%20FY%2024.pdf">Bureau of the Census -
