[FR Doc. 06–8623 Filed 10–6–06; 10:00 am] BILLING CODE 7590–01–M OVERSEAS PRIVATE INVESTMENT CORPORATION pwalker on PRODPC60 with NOTICES No FEAR Act Notice On May 15, 2002, Congress enacted the ‘‘Notification and Federal Employee Antidiscrimination and Retaliation Act of 2002,’’ commonly 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 VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:53 Oct 10, 2006 Jkt 211001 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 the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) to provide this notice to OPIC employees, former OPIC employees and applicants for OPIC employment to inform you of the rights and protections available to you under Federal antidiscrimination, whistleblower protection and retaliation laws. Federal Antidiscrimination Laws OPIC cannot discriminate against an employee or applicant with respect to the terms, conditions or privileges of employment on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, marital status or political affiliation. Discrimination on these bases is prohibited by one or more of the following statutes: 5 U.S.C. 2302(b)(1), 29 U.S.C. 206(d), 29 U.S.C. 631, 29 U.S.C. 663a, 29 U.S.C. 791 and 42 U.S.C. 2000e–16. If you believe that you have been the victim of unlawful discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin or disability, you must contact an OPIC Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Counselor within 45 calendar days of the alleged discriminatory action, or, in the case of a personnel action, within 45 calendar days of the effective date of the personnel action, before you can file a formal complaint of discrimination with OPIC., 29 CFR 1614.105(a). If you believe that you have been the victim of unlawful discrimination on the basis of age, you must either contact an EEO Counselor as noted above or give notice of intent to file a civil action in a United States District Court within 180 days of the alleged discriminatory action. 29 CFR 1614.201. The notice of intent to sue must be provided to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) at least 30 days before actually filing the civil action. The notice must be sent to: Director, Office of Federal Operations, EEOC, P.O. Box 19848, Washington, DC 20036. Federal agencies also are prohibited from discriminating against employees because of their marital status or political affiliation, and employees who raise such allegations may file a written complaint with the U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC). This right does not extend to OPIC employees or applicants for OPIC employment because OPIC is a Federal corporation and is thus excluded by statute. 5 U.S.C. PO 00000 Frm 00129 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 59843 2302(a)(2)(C)(i). However, as an alternative, if you are alleging discrimination based on marital status or political affiliation, you may file a grievance through OPIC’s administrative or negotiated grievance procedures, to the extent such procedures apply and are available. Whistleblower Protection Laws An OPIC employee with authority to take, direct others to take, recommend or approve any personnel action must not use that authority to take or fail to take, or threaten to take or fail to take, a personnel action against an employee or applicant because of disclosure of information by that individual that is reasonably believed to evidence violations of law, rule or regulation; gross mismanagement; gross waste of funds; an abuse of authority; or a substantial and specific danger to public health or safety, unless disclosure of such information is specifically prohibited by law and such information is specifically required by Executive Order to be kept secret in the interest of national defense or the conduct of foreign affairs. Additionally, the statute protects any disclosure to the Special Counsel, or to the Inspector General of an agency or another employee designated by the head of the agency to receive such disclosures, of information which the employee or applicant reasonably believes evidences—(i) a violation of any law, rule, or regulation, or (ii) gross mismanagement, a gross waste of funds, an abuse of authority, or a substantial and specific danger to public health or safety. Retaliation against an employee or applicant for making a protected disclosure is prohibited by 5 U.S.C. 2302(b)(8). If you believe that you have been the victim of whistleblower retaliation, you may file a written complaint (Form OSC–11) with the U.S. Office of Special Counsel at 1730 M Street, NW., Suite 218, Washington, DC 20036–4505 or online through the OSC Web site—https://www.osc.gov. Retaliation for Engaging in Protected Activity OPIC cannot retaliate against an employee or applicant because the individual exercises his or her rights under any of the Federal antidiscrimination or whistleblower protections laws listed above, except as otherwise noted with respect to marital status and political affiliation discrimination. If you believe that you are the victim of retaliation for engaging in protected activity, you must follow, as appropriate, the procedures described E:\FR\FM\11OCN1.SGM 11OCN1
