Explanation of How the Department of Justice Uses Disability, Gender,
Gender Identity, Ethnicity, and Race Identification Data
Providing Demographic Information
The U.S. Department of Justice is an Equal Opportunity/Reasonable Accommodation Employer. Except where otherwise
provided by law, there will be no discrimination because of color, race, religion, national origin, political affiliation, marital
status, disability (physical or mental), age, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, genetic information, status as a parent,
membership or non-membership in an employee organization, on the basis of personal favoritism, or any non merit factor.

Our agency works diligently to recruit applicants using practices that are free from discrimination and provide equal
employment opportunities. The information you choose to provide helps ensure that our agency is recruiting from the entire
U.S. citizen workforce. Your furnishing the requested information is voluntary. Demographic information provided by you is
not shared with selecting officials or Department of Justice reviewers (however, please note your option to consent to
disclosure of disability information, below). Your decision not to provide the information will not affect your consideration for
employment.

Disability Information Privacy Act Statement
Collection of the requested information is authorized by the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (P.L. 93-112). The information you
furnish will be used for the purpose of producing statistical reports to show agency progress in hiring, placement, and
advancement of disabled individuals and to locate individuals for voluntary participation in surveys. The reports will be used
to inform agency top management, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), Congress, and the public of the status of
programs for employment of persons with disabilities. All such reports will be in the form of aggregate totals and will not
identify you in any way as an individual unless you specifically consent to disclosure of the fact that you identified yourself as
an individual with a targeted disability, along with your name, contact information, and other information provided in this
application to DOJ officials with the need to know for hiring purposes. Even if you consent to disclosure of the information
listed above, disability disclosures will not be reflected on your application, nor will your status be disclosed as part of the
standard review and selection process.

Your furnishing this information is voluntary. Your failure to do so will have no effect on you or your Federal employment.

Gender, Ethnicity, and Race Identification Privacy Act Statement
You are requested to furnish this information under the authority of 42 U.S.C. 2000e-16, which requires that Federal
employment practices be free from discrimination and provide equal employment opportunities for all. Standards for
Maintaining, Collecting, and Presenting Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity, are published in the Federal Register, October 30,
1997, as amended, December, 2002.

This information is used as necessary to plan for equal employment opportunity throughout the Federal government. It is also
used in the production of summary descriptive statistics and analytical studies in support of the function for which the records
are collected and maintained, or for related workforce studies. The records and studies may be used to inform agency top
management, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), Congress, and the public of the status of hiring programs. All such
reports will be in the form of aggregate totals and will not identify you in any way as an individual.

Your furnishing this information is voluntary. Your failure to do so will have no effect on you or your Federal employment.
