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.
In support of this purpose, Congress
found that ‘‘agencies cannot be run
effectively if those agencies practice or
tolerate discrimination.’’
The Act also requires Federal
agencies, including the Millennium
Challenge Corporation (MCC), 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.
Antidiscrimination Laws
The Millennium Challenge
Corporation cannot discriminate against
an employee or applicant for Federal
employment 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. 633a, 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 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 action,
before you can file a formal complaint
of discrimination with your agency. See,
e.g., 29 CFR part 1614. 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 sue to the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission
(EEOC) within 180 calendar days of the
alleged discriminatory action. If you are
alleging discrimination based on marital
status or political affiliation, you may
file a written complaint with the U.S.
Office of Special Counsel (OSC) (see
contact information below).
Whistleblower Protection Laws
An MCC 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
