      "summary": "In the Notification and Federal Employee Antidiscrimination and Retaliation Act, (No FEAR\nAct),\n P.L. 107-174 , Congress found that federal agencies lacked accountability for enforcement of federal\nanti-discrimination and whistleblower statutes since any monetary judgment against an agency was\npaid from the Judgment Fund of the U.S. Department of Justice, rather than the agency's own\noperating budget. The Act addresses the problem by requiring agencies to reimburse the Treasury\nfor any judgment or settlement of federal employee discrimination or whistleblower reprisal claims. \nIn addition, individual agencies and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission must post\nannual statistics on their websites, setting forth the numbers of complaints filed, pending, and\nresolved; the amount paid out on such claims; the number of employees disciplined for\ndiscrimination, retaliation, or harassment; and an examination of any trends in those statistics,\nincluding a causal analysis, the practical knowledge obtained in the process, and any planned or\ncompleted improvements made to the complaint resolution procedures of each agency.",
