On May 15, 2002, Congress enacted the "Notification and Federal Employee
Antidiscrimination and Retaliation Act of 2002," which is now known as the No FEAR
Act. One purpose of the Act is to "require that Federal agencies be accountable for
violations of antidiscrimination and whistleblower protection laws." Public Law 107-
174, Summary. In support of this purpose, Congress found that "agencies cannot be run
effectively if those agencies practice or tolerate discrimination." Public Law 107-174,
Title I, General Provisions, section 101(1)
The Act also requires these agencies to provide this notice to Federal employees,
former Federal employees and applicants for Federal employment to inform you of the
rights and protections available to you under Federal antidiscrimination and
whistleblower protection laws.
