On May 15, 2002, President Bush signed into law the Notification and Federal Employee Antidiscrimination and Retaliation (NoFEAR) Act, (PDF, 11 pages - 52 KB) which is intended to increase federal agency accountability for acts of discrimination or reprisal against employees for whistle blowing filing complaints of discrimination. The NoFEAR Act became effective on October 1, 2003.

Pursuant to Title III of the NoFEAR Act, federal agencies are required to post quarterly on their public Web sites certain summary statistical data relating to equal employment opportunity complaints filed against the respective agencies.  In compliance with this provision of the NoFEAR Act, the Department of Homeland Security will post cumulative statistical data for equal employment opportunity complaints for the entire department.  Individual DHS agencies have been instructed to post on their own respective public web sites statistical data for equal employment opportunity complaints that originate in their agencies. A link to data posted by individual Department agencies is provided below.  Statistical data for complaints that originate at Homeland Security headquarters is also posted separately.  This data will be updated on a quarterly basis.

For further information, please contact the Director, Equal Employment Opportunity Programs, Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties.
