No Fear Act

Equal Employment Opportunity Data Posted Pursuant to Title III of the Notification and Federal Employee Antidiscrimination and Retaliation Act of 2002 (No Fear Act), Pub. L. 107-174

The Notification and Federal Employee Antidiscrimination and Retaliation Act of 2002 (No Fear Act) was signed into law by President Bush on May 15, 2002.  The Act seeks to increase accountability for violations of Federal antidiscrimination and whistleblower protection laws. 
 
Title III of the Act requires that each Federal agency make quarterly postings to its public Website statistical data on the disposition of discrimination complaints filed with the agency.  It requires that Federal agencies post year-to-date statistical data for the then current fiscal year (October 1 through September 30) and year end data for the five previous fiscal years.
 
Title III requires that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) issue rules concerning the “time, form and manner” for agency posting of required statistical data.  On January 26, 2004, the EEOC published in the Federal Register an Interim Final Rule adding Subpart G to the Federal sector EEO regulations located at 29 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 1614.   The statistical information presented in this document meets the requirements of the No Fear Act, as defined by the EEOC under Subpart G of Part 1614.  The data will be updated within 30 days after the end of each fiscal quarter.
 
The statistical data presented consists of the following information:
  1.     Summary of Complaints Filed in Each Fiscal Year
  2.     Summary of Complaints Pending in Each Fiscal Year
  3.     Summary of Investigations Completed
  4.     Summary of Complaints Dismissed
  5.     Final Actions Issued by NCUA Involving a Finding of Discrimination
             
o    Final Actions Issued Without an EEOC Hearing 
            
o    Final Actions Issued After an EEOC Hearing   
  6.     Average Time Taken to Complete Investigations and Final Action
