INTRODUCTION
This annual report covers the period October 1, 1992, through September 30, 1993. It is the sixth annual
report on affirmative employment programs (AEP) for minorities and women in the Environmental Protection
Agency's five year (FY 1988-1992) AEP Plan cycle \ Under the guidance of the Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission (November 14,1990) the report also includes a plan update and accomplishment
report pertaining to the Agency's affirmative employment program for people with disabilities. The report
serves to provide a current overview of our Agency's Affirmative Employment Program by (1) Outlining the
program's structure; (2) Describing the role and responsibilities of management and EEO program officials
in pursuing, aggressively yet realistically, positive results; and (3) Including a multitude of relevant statistical
data forming the foundation for a compendium of the Agency's work force composition with focus on the
posture of minorities and women.
The report is structured into four parts:
Part A - AGENCY-WIDE
Subpart A - FY 1994 AEP Plan Update
Subpart B - FY 1993 Accomplishment Report
Part B - HEADQUARTERS
Subpart A - FY 1994 AEP Plan Update
Subpart B - FY 1993 Accomplishment Report
Part C - AGENCY-WIDE AFFIRMATIVE EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM FOR PEOPLE WITH
DISABILITIES
Subpart A - FY 1994 Plan Update
Subpart B - FY 1993 Accomplishment Report
Part D - AGENCY-WIDE PLAN AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR THE PREVENTION OF SEXUAL
HARASSMENT
This report, at a minimum, contains all of the elements required by the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission's (EEOC) Management Directives 713 and 714 (prepared, by the EEOC, pursuant to its
authority under Section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, and Section 717 of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 USC 2000e-16; Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1978; Executive Order
11478, as amended by Executive Order 12106; Executive Order 12067; the Civil Service Reform Act; and
29 Code of Federal Regulations Part 1613.) The goal of this report is to comply with current regulations and
convey in a clear and analytical manner a full assessment of the current status of the EEO/Affirmative
Employment Program and the outstanding EEO related problems facing the Agency. In this regard, this
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has chosen to exercise its authority to extend the
coverage of EEO-Management Directives 713 and 714 for an additional one-year period. Accordingly,
agencies will be required to administer their affirmative employment efforts and to file required reports
pursuant to the guidance contained in Management Directives 713 and 714 through fiscal year 1993.

INTRODUCTION (continued)
report documents a comprehensive examination of the level of minority and female representation within the
Agency as compared to their levels in the relevant civilian labor force (CLF) since full representation occurs
when the two levels are the same. When not the same, affirmative employment initiatives are required.
Thus, this report presents a blueprint of planned affirmative employment initiatives which are designed to
produce EQsitjve results. Since professional and administrative positions make up 84% of the Agency's total
work force, the focus of these efforts is in these two occupational categories.
-------
PART A, Subpart A (Agency-wide)
AFFIRMATIVE EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM FOR MINORITIES AND WOMEN
POLICY
As Administrator, I expect and look forward to full cooperation in achieving a qualified
workforce that is reflective of our Nation's diverse population. I am committed to equal
employment opportunity and the implementation of a strong affirmative employment
program without regard to race, gender, religion, color, national origin, age or handicap.
It is the policy of the EPA to provide equal opportunity in employment for all persons in
its workforce or those being recruited for its workforce, and to prohibit discrimination in
all aspects of its personnel policies, program practices and operations and in all its
working conditions and relationships with employees and applicants for employment. All
EPA employees are responsible for supporting our policies on equal employment
opportunity and for assuring that the workplace is free from discrimination. I strongly
promote the full realization of equ^.l opportunity in employment through a continuing
program of affirmative employment at every management level within EPA. The EPA
subscribes to and implements to the fullest, the requirements of Title VII of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964, as amended; Executive Order 11478, as amended; the Age Discrimination
in Employment Act of 1967; the Equal Pay Act of 1962, as amended, and the Vocational
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended.
The multi-year Affirmative Employment Program Plan (AEP) will assist EPA in fulfilling its
purpose by having all of its employees contribute to our objectives. To this end, EPA
managers and supervisors are expected to take an active ongoing part in promoting and
implementing the plan. Accordingly, I expect full support from each manager and
supervisor in meeting the objectives of this plan. Copies of the EPA AEP will be
distributed to Assistant Administrators, Regional Administrators, Associate Administrators,
the General Counsel, Inspector General and Staff Office Directors to allow all employees
an opportunity to review the Agency's plan. In addition, I am directing that copies of the
AEP Executive Summary be disseminated to each manager and supervisor, so they will
be fully aware of the EPA's objectives, and can thus actively assist in meeting the plan's
objectives. Additionally, periodic monitoring will be made to measure program
accomplishments, and where imbalances or lack of progress are evident, necessary
measures will be taken to remedy the problem.
I strongly support and will ensure the implementation of an effective affirmative
employment program that will provide for equal opportunity in employment at every
management level within EPA.

ADMINISTRATION OF THE EPA'S AFFIRMATIVE EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM AND
DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
1. Program Authority.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended by the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972,
requires federal agencies to develop and implement affirmative action programs to eliminate the historic
underrepresentation of minorities and women in the federal work force. The Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission (EEOC) is responsible for providing agencies with guidance on their affirmative action
programs. In this regard, EEOC's Management Directive 714, issued in October 1987, assigns responsibility
for ensuring compliance with affirmative employment program instructions to agency heads. In carrying out
this mandate, agency heads are required to establish agency-wide objectives, submit multi-year affirmative
employment program plans, updates thereto, and annual accomplishments reports; and ensure that all
supervisors and managers are held accountable for achieving affirmative employment program goals and
objectives.
Within the EPA, the EEO Program has been established as an integral part of its personnel
management structure. The Office of Civil Rights (OCR), a staff office within the Office of the Administrator,
provides agency-wide direction, coordination, monitoring and evaluation of equal employment opportunity
and affirmative employment objectives. Under the authority delegated by the Administrator, the OCR
establishes the broad administrative policies regarding the planning, development, execution and evaluation
of the Agency's EEO/Affirmative Employment Program as required by public law, rules and regulations for
implementation throughout the Agency. To ensure the development and execution of a results-oriented
program, the Administrator has assigned specific responsibilities to Assistant Administrators, Deputy
Assistant/Associate Administrators, Regional Administrators, and management officials throughout the
Agency as discussed below.

Program is administered and implemented in an affirmative, results-oriented manner and that sufficient
resources are made available to effectively serve this purpose.
DIRECTOR, OFFICE OF CIVIL RIGHTS: The Director is delegated, by the Administrator, the
responsibility to develop and direct, in accordance with applicable public laws, rules and regulations, an
effective results-oriented Equal Employment Opportunity Program for the Agency. The Director serves as
the Administrator's principal advisor regarding all Agency policies, practices and procedures having direct,
or indirect, impact in the area of equal employment opportunity for Agency employees as well as
employment applicants. In this capacity, the Director provides EEO policy guidance, evaluates the
effectiveness of the Agency's activities in assuring equal opportunity for all employees, and affirmative
employment actions to enhance the posture of minorities and women in all occupational categories and

ORGANIZATION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
1. Background.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was created through an Executive reorganization plan
designed to consolidate a number of federal environmental activities into a single agency. The plan
(Reorganization Plan #3 of 1970) was sent to Congress by President Nixon on July 9, 1970.
The EPA was formally established as an independent agency, by the Executive Branch, on December
2, 1970. The EPA was formed by putting together 15 components from five Executive departments and
independent agencies. Air pollution control, solid waste management, radiation, and the drinking water
program were transferred from the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (now the Department of
Health and Human Services). The federal water pollution control program was taken from the Department
of Interior, as was part of a pesticide research program. From the Department of Agriculture, EPA acquired
authority to register pesticides and to regulate their use, and from the Food and Drug Administration the
responsibility to set tolerance levels for pesticides in food. EPA was assigned some responsibility for setting
environmental radiation protection standards from the old Atomic Energy Commission, and absorbed the
duties of the Federal Radiation Council.
The enactment of major new environmental laws and important amendments to older laws in the 1970's
greatly expanded EPA's responsibilities. The Agency now administers nine comprehensive environmental
protection laws:
* Clean Air Act (CAA);
* Clean Water Act (CWA);
* Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA);
* Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA, or "Superfund");
* Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA);
* Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA);
* Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA);
* Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act (MPRSA); and
* Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act (UMTRCA).

4. Organization of the EPA's EEO Program: The EPA's EEO Program is an important function within EPA's
management structure. The Office of Civil Rights (OCR), a staff office within the Office of the Administrator,
provides agency-wide direction, coordination, monitoring and evaluation of equal opportunity and affirmative
employment objectives. The OCR establishes the broad administrative policies for success in equal
opportunity and affirmative employment initiatives for implementation by management officials throughout
the Agency. All levels of management officials are accountable for assuring that the goals and objectives
of the program are met within their respective organizational components.
The Director of the Office of Civil Rights reports to the Agency Administrator and is a member of the senior
staff. With a staff of twenty-six (26) full-time permanent professional and administrative employees nation-
wide, advises and assists senior and mid-level management officials in establishing, maintaining, and
conducting programs to promote equal opportunity and affirmative action throughout all levels and segments
of the Agency's work force. The Director, OCR participates in senior management staff meetings and
planning sessions where significant management issues and other management concerns are discussed.

ORGANIZATION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (continued)
The Agency is comprised of twelve (12) major organizations, ten (10) Regional offices and three (3) major
laboratory locations geographically dispersed throughout the United States.
In each Regional office the Assistant Regional Administrator and Management Division Directors also serve
as Regional Directors of Civil Rights and are responsible for all civil rights functions under their authority.
The 3 major laboratory locations are provided guidance and direction in planning, developing implementing
and evaluating their EEO/Affirmative Employment Program by three separate Area Directors of Civil Riqhts
who report to the Director, OCR. Each of the Area Directors are assisted by a staff of EEO Specialists
and/or part-t.me collateral duty EEO coordinators and Special Emphasis Program Managers and
administrative personnel.
The OCR consists of three major units reporting directly to the Director, OCR - Discrimination Complaints
and External Compliance, Operations and Evaluation, and Affirmative Employment and Special Emphasis
Programs. The Discrimination Complaints function is centralized, with local offices receiving formal
complaints and forwarding them to Headquarters for processing. There are EEO Counselors at all Agency
facilities who provide counseling to any employee/applicant who raises an allegation of discrimination based
on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, or physical/mental handicap. Counselors, acting as neutral
third parties, attempt to resolve such issues informally.
ur 1?Joys a comP'ement of tnree (3) National Special Emphasis Program Managers - one each for
the Federal Women's Program, the Hispanic/American Indian Employment Programs, and Black/Asian and

sharing of affirmative employment program progress at their quarterly meetings.
In addition, subcommittees of the HRC work closely with counterpart EEO committees to support career
development within the Agency. These include the Support Careers Advisory Committee, the Secretarial
and Technical Careers Advisory Committee, and the FAME (Framework for Achieving Managerial Excellence)
Committee. The Agency also has several EEO/SEP committees which assist EEO offices and other
nanagement officials. They provide advice, mcruiment sources, insights to problem resolutio and
recommend career advancement strategies. Committees include, at the national level, the Federal Women's

PROBLEM/BARRIER IDENTIFICATION
UNDESIRED CONDITION: Program officials at the mid-level who make personnel decisions regarding
hiring, promotions, training and recognition are not assuming responsibility for achieving positive results in
affirmative employment.
DESIRED CONDITION: Program officials are knowledgeable about and committed to the Agency's
Affirmative Employment Program. They have specific goals assigned to them and are evaluated on their
performance in meeting them, as well as on their other job responsibilities.
ANALYSIS: Senior managers such as Assistant Administrators and Regional Administrators are aware of
the held accountable for meeting affirmative employment goals and objectives. The OCR provides them with
data for periodic self-assessment and annual reports on progress in meeting their affirmative employment
goals. However, mid-level managers often have misconceptions about affirmative employment and may
have no role in establishing goals. In some cases, goals are not even assigned at division and branch levels
where recruitment, hiring and other personnel decisions occur. Where managers at these levels are involved
in setting goals and/or are expected to meet specific goals, results are generally better.
PROBABLE BARRIER: Lack of understanding of and accountability for affirmative employment at the hirinq
official level.
EXPECTED ACTION: Expand the responsibility for setting and meeting goals into the mid-management
level. Assign affirmative employment goals to managers at the office, division and branch levels to ensure
inclusion of all hiring officials in the affirmative employment programs. EEO results are specifically measured
and included in the overall performance evaluation.
EXPECTED RESULT: Active involvement of hiring officials should result in improved representation of
minorities and women at all levels of the work force.

AFFIRMATIVE EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM PLAN FOR MINORITIES, WOMEN AND
PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
PROGRAM ANALYSIS - ORGANIZATION AND RESOURCES
PROBLEM/BARRIER IDENTIFICATION
The Federal Women's Program (FWP) is a special emphasis program under the Office
of Civil Rights. To ensure appropriate visibility, direction and leadership, the program
is managed by a full-time permanent national program manager and a full-time
permanent program manager for the FWP at EPA headquarters. In addition, each of
the Agency's 10 regional offices and major laboratories has a FWP manager.
Generally, the FWPs are appointed on a collateral duty basis. However, a few serve
on a full-time permanent appointment. A National FWP Managers Council was
established in 1976 to: strengthen communication among the field FWP managers and
with the National FWP Manager; advise the National FWP Manager on agency-wide
employment issues affecting women; and assist in developing strategies to address
those issues. The Council meets three times a year; all FWP Managers gather
annually for training designed to help them perform their FWP assignment. Generally,
financial support has been insufficient for FWP activities i.e., FWP Manager travel,
program operations and training. There also has been insufficient allocation of time
for collateral duty FWP Managers to perform the tasks and duties associated with their
programs. For example, the responsibility for the FWP is frequently added to an
employee's already busy schedule with no provisions made to assist the employee to
accomplish the duties of their "regular" full-time position. Thus, the employee either
"donates" personal time or devotes only minimal (insufficient) official time to the
program and neither course of action is effective. In 1980, the National Secretary
Administrative Advisory Council (SAAC) was established to provide a forum for
addressing specific issues of support staff. In 1986, the National Women in Science
and Engineering (WISE) was established to focus on specific issues of women in
scientific and technical occupations. These two groups are also components of the
Federal Women's Program, and are organized in a manner similar to the FWP
Managers Council, with the WISE and SAAC chairpersons in the headquarters and all
field offices constituting the national groups. The national WISE and SAAC
chairpersons are standing members of the FWP Managers Council. The national
SAAC meets twice a year; the WISE chairs meet at least once a year, with
supplemental meetings as needed. Field offices generally have a local FWP
committee, and extensive SAAC and WISE organizations led by the local chairpersons.
The situation described above for collateral duty FWP managers holds true for WISE
and SAAC Chairs in some localities. The National FWP Manager provides technical
guidance, advice and assistance to all three councils, coordinates the activities of the
national groups, and facilitates communication and cooperation among the three
groups. These visits are the best way for the national manager to become familiar
with field personnel, organizations, and to learn about issues that may be occurring
agency-wide.

AFFIRMATIVE EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM PLAN FOR MINORITIES, WOMEN AND PEOPLE WITH

PROBLEM/BARRIER IDENTIFICATION - ORGANIZATION AND RESOURCES
UNDESIRED CONDITION: Generally, financial support and time devoted to the program have been
insufficient as discussed under Program Analysis. In addition, some of the FWP Managers have not received
training which would provide them the skills, knowledge and abilities they need to properly function in their
positions. Others have limited access to information and guidance. This impacts on their ability to offer
sound advice and assistance to management officials on employment concerns of women. Activities of the
local and national FWP, WISE, and SAC organizations are not synchronized nor mutually supportive; some
may even be in disarray. The National FWP Manager does not have the level of field interaction necessary
to select issues for national attention.
DESIRED CONDITION: The FWP received adequate financial support form organizational components, all
FWP Managers, SAC and WISE chairpersons are well trained and informed of their program and
organizational responsibilities, goals, and objectives. Their agendas support the agency's goals for women,
and address issues and concerns of employees and applicants in their respective organizations as well as
the agency as a whole. They are effective due, in part, to the training they received, their access to
information, advice, and guidance from the National FWP Manager and other program officials and their
network of counterparts in other regions/laboratories. They are a valuable resource to the National FWP
Manager and their respective organizations on issues of concern to women.
ANALYSIS/PROBABLE BARRIER: Management officials may not be including the FWP as one of their
considerations when preparing their annual budgets. Employees assigned FWP, WISE, and SAC program
responsibilities are not always given adequate orientation and ongoing training to be effective. Training and
assistance may come too late in their assigned tour to be helpful. They may lack the technical assistance,
advice, and a forum for exchanging and obtaining information essential to their assignment. They may lack
the skills and abilities to effectively work with management officials on issues of women in the work force.
Issues and concerns of women located throughout the agency are not being surfaced to the National FWP
Manager so that corrective measures may be implemented.
EXPECTED ACTION: Management officials will provide financial support to the FWP, including WISE and
SAC, so that the total FWP management team has sufficient funds to participate in official travel as warranted
and attend training courses needing financial support. The Office of Civil Rights will ensure annual training
and regular council meetings are conducted for field employees working in the various programs. The
National FWP Manager will visit field offices to provide advice and technical assistance and stay abreast of
local and agency-wide issues and concerns of women.
EXPECTED RESULTS: The Federal Women's Program, WISE, and SAC in the Regional Offices and
laboratories are effective in addressing employment issues of women and are able to provide sound advice,
information, and feedback to their management officials and to the National FWP Manager, and effectively
lead their councils and groups.
FOLLOWUP ACTION: The Office of Civil Rights and national FWP Manager will continue to provide
technical assistance and training through regular council meetings, annual workshops, and technical
assistance visits to maintain and strengthen the FWP agency-wide, and incorporate needs of field offices
into the national agenda.

PROGRAM ANALYSIS - WORK FORCE PROFILE
The workforce profiles in this section depict the distribution of EPA's permanent
full-time and part-time employees in General Schedule (GS), General Manager (GM)
and Senior Executive Service (SES) positions by race, national origin and gender. The
data are organized to show the total EPA population (all Professional, Administrative,
Technical, Clerical and Other - PATCO) as well as the populations that make up the
Agency's Professional and Administrative staff since these two occupational categories
represent 86% of the Agency's workforce. The data are also arranged by specific
grade groups...5-8, 9-12, 13-15, and SES. Data pertaining to the EPA's major
occupational categories is also included and shows the percent of distribution of
minorities and nonminority women for each fiscal year beginning 1987, and ending FY
1993.
The summary analysis in this section was prepared in response to the guidance
contained in the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's Management Directive
714. As required, Agency-wide work force computations and subsequent analysis
have been based on comparisons with the National Civilian Labor Force data from the
1980 Census. Analysis of our Professional occupational group utilized the National
Professional Civilian Labor Force data. Likewise, in analyzing our Administrative
occupational group, the National Administrative Civilian Labor Force was used. We
are mindful of the fact that receipt of 1990 census data will require a reexamination
and reevaluation of the composition of our work force to ensure continued progress in
our affirmative employment program.
The comparative work force profile, which follows the "Areas of Concern" on the next
page, effectively depicts the composition of our total (all PATCOs), Professional and
Administrative work force from 1987 through fiscal year 1993. In developing this
systematic plan for affirmative action, the various major categories of employment
available within the EPA structure were also examined. These occupations are also
profiled and summarized in this Part and were selected because of their dominant role
in our organization.
This section also contains specific numerical goals for affirmative employment of
minorities and women during FY1994. Part C of this Plan contains our FY1994 goals
and objectives for the employment of people with targeted disabilities.

PROGRAM ANALYSIS - RECRUITMENT AND HIRING
The analysis of the Agency's work force profile (under Program Analysis - Work Force Profile) depicts
the progress made in increasing the number and percent of minorities and women in both Professional
and Administrative positions. These increases have been achieved as a result of additional emphasis
being placed on locating, hiring/promoting, and retaining qualified minorities, women and people with
disabilities.1
Much of our success can be attributed to the Administrator's policy requiring the targeting of a minimum
of 52% of vacancies in Professional and Administrative positions for affirmative action - in which the
levels of representation of minorities and women were determined to be insufficient. This policy also
extends to supervisory and managerial positions. While we have some successes, much work remains
to be done particularly in grade levels GS/GM 13-15 and SES and supervisory/managerial positions.
The chart below depicts the number/percentage of white women and minorities in
managerial/supervisory positions at the close of FY 1992 and FY 1993:

PROGRAM ANALYSIS - RECRUITMENT AND HIRING (continued)
There has been, and continues to be, a standing requirement to use all personnel management
flexibilities available under the merit system to demonstrate and support affirmative employment.
Areas in which the Agency has excelled is in its extensive participation in youth employment programs
and its support for, and commitment to minority academic institutions. To carry out the goals of the
President's Executive Order 12677, the Administrator appointed a Minority Academic Institutions Task
Force comprised of senior managers from EPA headquarters, field offices and senior representatives
from several of the nation's Black and Hispanic institutions of higher eduction. In May 1991, a final
action plan was developed. The problem areas and specific step-by-step actions planned to strengthen
the EPA's support of, and involvement in, minority academic institutions are identified in the Report of
Objectives and Action Items in this Plan. Many of the EPA's Regional offices rely heavily on community
contacts. Laboratory facilities are often made available to community groups through Adopt a School
Programs. Other cooperative efforts include working with high schools to identify students for the EPA's
Cooperative Education Program, Federal Junior Fellowship Program and Volunteer Services Program.
To increase and expand our ability to employ and retain employees having child care responsibilities a
Child Day Care Center was established. The Center not only benefits working parents but, the EPA as
well. In some instances we are able to hire as well as retain individuals with much needed skills,
knowledge and abilities that might not otherwise be available.
Vacancies for Senior Executive Service positions are announced through the Office of Personnel
Management (OPM), the Federal Research Service, State agencies and employment offices as well as
government-wide. Present minority recruitment efforts are producing minority and nonminority women
applicants for many, but not all of the SES positions. While the number of qualified minority and
nonminority women candidates is steadily increasing, much remains to be done. To focus attention on
the need to increase not only the attraction rate but, the selection rate of minorities and nonminority
women in SES positions, an SES Minority Recruiting Plan initiative was undertaken in FY 1992. The Plan
requires that prior to the advertisement of any SES position, the selecting official must prepare a written
plan designed to address how qualified minority candidates will be reached (internally/externally). The
plan must also address who will be responsible for implementing the minority recruitment effort and what
resources (fiscal/human) will be required to achieve the desired results. Thus far, while the
administrative requirements of this initiative are being met, it is too soon to make any determination
regarding whether or not the objective will be achieved through this process.
As an advisory arm to the Administrator, the Human Resources Council (HRC), organized a study group
which developed a series of recommendations designed to strengthen the Agency's Affirmative
Employment Program. A number of actions have been competed as reported in the EPA's annual
Accomplishment Report. Those actions remaining to be accomplished appear in the Objectives and
Action Items portion of this Part.
Hispanics are the fastest growing group in the United States today. They are projected to comprise 10
percent of the Civilian Labor Force (CLF) by the year 2000. While the EPA has made signficant progress
in attracting and hiring Hispanics in Professional and Administrative positions, they remain
underrepresented in some grade levels. Specific areas of underrepresentation are identified in the
Program Analysis - Work Force Profile portion of this Plan. Action items designed to correct these
imbalances are in the Objectives and Action Items portion of this Part.

PROBLEM/BARRIER IDENTIFICATION - RECRUITMENT AND HIRING
UNDESIRED CONDITION: Present minority recruitment efforts are not producing a sufficient number of
targeted group applicants for all SES positions. Further, although the number of qualified targeted
group candidates is steadily increasing they are not being selected at an acceptable rate.
DESIRED CONDITION: An SES recruitment program which produces a sufficient number of qualified
targeted group candidates for consideration and a staff of selecting officials who make selection of
targeted group members to SES positions a priority goal.
ANALYSIS: The Administrator has established that... "Where underrepresentation exists, expecially in
managerial, supervisory and SES positions, at least 52 percent of placement opportunities will be
directed to minorities and women." By the close of FY 1993, there were only 57 (20.96%) white women,
and 11 (4.04%) Black men in SES positions. There was an increase of one Black woman. There
remains only one each Hispanic man and Asian man. American Indians are conspicuously absent at
this senior level.
PROBABLE BARRIER Some Agency officials have not focused attention on the need to increase not
only the attraction rate, but the selection rate of minorities and nonminority women in SES positions.
EXPECTED ACTION: Since the problem of minority recruitment is more acute, prior to the
advertisement of any SES position, the selecting official will be required to prepare a written plan
designed to address how qualified minority candidates will be reached (internally/externally) and the
timeframe for completing the minority recruitment effort.
EXPECTED RESULTS: A greater number of qualified minority candidates and a greater number of
minority and nonminority women considered and selected for SES positions.
FOLLOW-UP ACTION: The Office of Human Resources Management is responsible for working with
Agency officials to plan, develop and execute a comprehensive recruiting program designed to reach
and attract qualified minority and nonminority women candidates. The Office of Civil Rights is
responsible for monitoring the program and assessing the effectiveness of recruiting minority and
nonminority women. One of the measures of success will be a comparison of the number of minorities
and nonminority women in the Agency at SES levels with their percent of availability within the
appropriate civilian labor force (CLF).

PROBLEM / BARRIER IDENTIFICATION - RECRUITMENT AND HIRING
UNDESIRED CONDITION: Present recruitment efforts are not producing a sufficient number of targeted
group applicants for specific occupational categories and higher grade levels (GS/GM 13-15 and SES)
where underrepresentation exists. Further, although the number of qualified targeted group candidates
is steadily increasing, minorities or nonminority women are being selected at an acceptable rate.
DESIRED CONDITION: A recruitment program which produces a sufficient number of qualified targeted
group candidates for consideration and a staff of selecting officials who make selection of targeted
group members for occupational categories and grade levels where underrepresentation exists a priority
ANALYSIS: The Administrator has established that... "Where underrepresentation exists, expecially in
managerial, supervisory and SES positions, at least 52 percent of placement opportunities will be
directed to minorities and women." While targeted groups are, overall, at or above the relevant civilian
labor force in the Agency's major occupational groups, parity has not been achieved in the higher level
grade groups i.e. GS/GM 13-15 and SES. Therefore, affirmative employment actions are necessary to
eliminate this undesired condition.
PROBABLE BARRIER: Some Agency officials have not focused attention on the need to increase not
only the attraction rate, but the selection rate of minorities and nonminority women in major
occupational categories at higher grade levels (GS/GM 13-15 and SES).
EXPECTED ACTION: That management and selecting officials achieve the Agency-wide goals set by
the Administrator, achieve the numerical goals they have individually (by organizational component)
established which have been incorporated into this Plan, periodically monitor their progress toward
meeting their goals and continue to set annual goals by major occupational series/grade.
EXPECTED RESULTS: A greater number of qualified targeted group candidates and a greater number
of targeted group members considered and selected for major occupational categories and grade levels
where underrepresentation exists.
FOLLOW-UP ACTION: The Office of Human Resources Management is responsible for working with
Agency officials to plan, develop and execute a comprehensive recruiting program designed to reach
and attract qualified minority and nonminority women candidates. The Office of Civil Rights is
responsible for monitoring the program and assessing the effectiveness of recruiting minority and
nonminority women. One of the measures of success will be a comparison of the number of targeted
groups in the Agency in the various major occupational groups/grade level with their percent of
availability within the appropriate civilian labor force (CLF).

PROBLEM/BARRIER IDENTIFICATION - RECRUITMENT AND HIRING -
MINORITY ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS _^
UNDESIRED CONDITION: The EPA does not enjoy a mutually beneficial relationship/partnership with
Minority Academic Institutions (MAIs) to the extent possible and desirable. At present, the EPA and its
programs are (1) not well known among MAIs and therefore, students are not attracted to work for EPA; (2)
the EPA does network with MAIs to make environmental science related courses core components of liberal
arts and technical degree programs. Thus, few college graduates are adequately trained for, or interested
in, careers in environmental professions due to limited exposure to the subject; (3) the EPA has a limited
Graduate Fellowship (including trainees, internships) Program for MAIs and no Undergraduate Scholarship
Program; (4) the EPA does not have a shared partnership with MAIs which allows for an exchange of
personnel. Thus, MAIs are not aware of EPA's environmental programs and are not able to describe EPA's
programs to their students and faculty thereby not reaching potential employees. There is a lack of
knowledge of environmental issues and career opportunities in the environmental field on the campuses of
many MAIs. There is a need to maintain the Directory of EPA Support to Minority Academic Institutions
published in November 1991. The current National Urban/Rural Fellows Program (NURF) Program does
not include environmental science management as part of the curriculum. The program is two years and
results in a Masters degree in public administration and the opportunity for a position with EPA. It is highly
focused and aimed at enhancing the participation of mid-career women and underrepresented groups in
the upper levels of public sector management and leadership. The funding for research grants to MAIs and
the equipment and research instrumentation acquisition program, which assists MAIs in strengthening their
capabilities to conduct research, is not adquate to strengthen the research activities, curricula in the
sciences and engineering or faculty participation in the fields of science and engineering. There is a need
to develop MAIs as Academic Centers of Excellence in environmental sciences and engineering. Support
for MAIs must become a part of the day-to-day operation of the ongoing EPA programs. Presently, there
is no means to ensure that MAIs are included in all aspects of EPA's programs.
DESIRED CONDITION: To expand EPA's relationship with Minority Academic Institutions (MAIs) and
establish more effective partnerships with them for the benefit of both the institutions, students and the EPA.
ANALYSIS: In 1987, the U.S. Congress passed P.L 99-383, Section 8, which established The President's
Task Force on Women, Minorities and the Handicapped in Science and Technology. The President's Task
Force was comprised of members from 15 Federal agencies, one of which was EPA, and leaders in the
private sector and education. Its purpose was to develop a long-range plan for broadening participation
in science and engineering. The Task Force held hearings and issued an interim report in 1988, and a final
report in December 1989. Both reports identified serious problems with science education in the United
States and predicted severe shortages of scientists and engineers in the future due, in part, to changing
demographics. The final report suggested six national goals and thirty remedial actions that must be taken
by the Nation if the problem is to be effectively addressed. In response to this report the Administrator, EPA
created 'The Administrator's Workgroup on Women, Minorities and Handicapped in Science and
Technology" to review the recommendations from the President's Task Force report and develop a
comprehensive strategy for EPA to follow. In April 1990, the Workgroup reviewed each of the thirty
recommendations and identified the proactive and preventive measures that the EPA could initiate. These
needs have been included in EPA's future programs to the extent budget permits.
EXPECTED RESULTS: EPA's support of MAIs is strengthened by insightful expansion of its existing
programs (grants and fellowships to MAIs) to a greater number of MAIs. The objective of this effort - to
ensure a cadre of qualified scientists and engineers in the future. The "proactive" and "preventive" measures
discussed above are identified in the Report of Objectives and Action Items that follow.

PROBLEM / BARRIER IDENTIFICATION - RECRUITMENT AND HIRING
UNDESIRED CONDITION: There is a manifest imbalance and, in some cases, conspicuous absence of
minorities and nonminority women in upper grade levels (GS/GM 13 and above) and in supervisory
positions.
DESIRED CONDITION: Representation of minorities and women in Grades 13 and above and in
supervisory/managerial positions is comparable at least to their overall representation in EPA's work
force.
PROBABLE BARRIERS: Several barriers contribute to the underrepresentation of minorities and
nonminority women at this level. (1) Unnecessary education restrictions placed upon supervisory
positions and on "feeder" positions which limit the applicant pool; (2) perception of some managers that
minorities and nonminority women are not qualified to be supervisors; and (3) insufficient developmental
opportunities for targeted groups at the mid-level to hone their skills and gain visibility.
ALTERNATIVES: (1) Review proposed supervisory positions with program officials to determine where
multiple series listings may be used and restructure mid-level jobs so that functions not requiring specific
scientific or engineering expertise may be assumed by those in Environmental Protection Specialist
positions. These action would broaden the applicant pool, enabling greater numbers of targeted group
members to qualify; (2) increase EEO awareness and cross cultural communication training for
managers and supervisors; (3) expand mid-level development opportunities, targeting and assuring
participation of minorities and women.
EXPECTED RESULTS: Greater selection of targeted groups for upper level and supervisory/managerial
positions with significant increase in their representation at these levels.
FOLLOW-UP ACTION: Review vacancy listings and selections for supervisory positions to determine
effect of broadening qualifications; monitor progress in meeting goals; evaluate and expand EEO
awareness training; monitor progression of participants in EPA developmental programs.

PROGRAM ANALYSIS - EMPLOYEE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS
Following the recommendation of a study conducted for EPA by the National Academy of Public
Administration, the Agency placed a major focus on the career development of its employees. To assist in
this focus, several committees/councils were formed to advise management on relevant issues, recommend
policies and propose programs to address the developmental needs of the broad spectrum of EPA's work
force. Committees/councils include the Human Resources Council, with minicouncils at various EPA
facilities; the Support Careers Advisory Committee and an advisory committee on the Framework for
Achieving Managerial Excellence (FAME). A broad range of developmental programs have emerged to
complement the cadre of specific training courses designed to enhance and/or develop employees' skills.
In addition to specific training courses, developmental details and rotational assignments are also provided.
Career counseling is available to employees through the Employees Assistance Program and Career
Management Workshops are conducted periodically. A computer based developmental program called
DISCOVER was initiated which takes an individual through the steps necessary to plan his/her career. It
is designed to help employees (1) analyze their present career satisfaction: (2) assess their career related
interests, skills, and values; (3) gather information regarding specific career fields within the Agency; (4) learn
decision making skills, and (5) identify goals and develop a personal action plan. While the Agency
participates in the Upward Mobility Program to provide growth opportunities for employees with the potential
for advancement, mid-level employees, particularly minorities and women are also assistant through an EPA
program called Greater Leadership Opportunities. This program is designed to prepare individuals for
supervisory and managerial positions by providing increased visibility and opportunities for developing their
competence in key areas where they have not had experience. However, some managers have the
perception that minorities and women are not qualified to be supervisors/managers and, therefore, do not
select them for these jobs. The EPA Institute involves EPA employees with a given subject matter expertise
in teaching other EPA employees. Participation provides visibility and experience. Of particular note is
Region Ill's Environmental Protection Specialist (EPS) Certification Program. This program includes internal
and external training Opportunities for participants to obtain the skills, knowledge and abilities required to
qualify for EPS positions. Enrollment in this program includes instruction at Temple University through a
cooperative agreement. Training data are available on all Agency employees through the Employee Payroll
Data System (EPAYS). The EPAYS includes information such as the highest educational level and type and
field of degree. However, accuracy of this data is dependent upon the employee's update. The data system
also includes formal training courses taken by the employee while at the Agency but does not include
informal workshops, training conferences, etc., which are not entered into the data system. In addition to
increased emphasis on EEO training for supervisors and managers, the Agency has turned increased
attention to how best to value the cultural diversity of its work force. Training and cultural diversity initiatives
will be utilized to lessen the perception that some may still have that minorities and nonminority women are
not qualified for supervisory and managerial positions. Through greater attention to the statutory
requirements of the affirmative employment program, directed by the Office of Civil Rights, and the
recommendations of the cultural diversity task force, directed by the Office of Human Resources
Management, the Agency intends to eliminate any misperceptions that may continue to exist based on an
individual's race, ethnicity or gender. EPA's ability to meet ever increasing expectations depends on the
quality of the leadership, commitment, and management skills of its first-line supervisors, middle-managers
and executives. To ensure leadership quality there is a need to (1) align EPA support systems to reinforce
sound management practices, (2) build a diverse management team with effective management and
leadership skills, and (3) change attitudes to value management as a distinct career that is crucial to EPA's
mission. To support these goals there is a need to assess individual needs, prepare an individual
development plan and provide training and developmental experiences.

PROGRAM ANALYSIS - EMPLOYEE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS (continued)
The National Federal Women's Program Council conducted a survey of the EPA's women employees in
grades GS/GM 14-15 to assess their readiness for assuming senior management and executive level
positions. Based on the responses of the survey, it is clear that women in EPA have a high level of interest
in the Senior Executive Service, and are willing to make the investment to gain the credentials necessary
to compete for those positions. However, there is an obvious need to create a comfortable working
environment for women-one that encourages and supports their efforts to gain the credentials and
experience to be competitive for senior level positions. The primary concerns of the women center around
the lack of opportunities to gain managerial training and hand-on experience. There is a lack of information
concerning a wide array of employee development programs, e.g., formalized executive development
programs, the Senior Executive Service Career Development Program (SESCDP), opportunities to gain
experience, and information about vacancies with sufficient notice to apply. The conflict between personal
and professional responsibilities is heightened by the perception that EPA's organizational culture is not
compatible with the needs of the modern family, and lacks the flexibilities at the senior and executive levels
that are available to employees at the mid and entry levels. The EPA has a work force that is well educated,
experienced, and committed to its mission. The focus of the FWP is to assist the EPA in finding ways to
keep these talented employees energized and progressing in their professions. The challenge is to find
ways to offer satisfying careers, professional growth, and recognition both inside and outside the context
of the Senior Executive Service and the managerial track.

DESIRED CONDITION: Representation of minorities and women in supervisory and managerial positions
at least comparable to their availability in the relevant Civilian Labor Force.
ANALYSIS/PROBABLE BARRIER: Several barriers contribute to the imbalance of minorities and women
in supervisory and managerial positions - (1) unnecessary education restrictions placed upon supervisory
positions and on 'feeder' positions which limits the applicant pool; (2) the perception of some managers that
minorities and women are not qualified to be supervisors; and (3) insufficient participation by minorities and

EXPECTED ACTION: (1) Review proposed supervisory positions with program officials to determine where
multiple series listings may be used and restructure mid-level jobs so that functions not requiring specific
scientific or engineering expertise may be assumed by those in Environmental Protection Specialist
positions. These actions would broaden the applicant pool, enabling more minorities and women to qualify;
(2) establish specific goals for grade group GS/GM 13-15 and supervisory positions by organizational
component, as for other goals; (3) increase EEO awareness and cross cultural communication training for
managers and supervisors; (4) expand mid-level developmental opportunities, targeting and assuring

UNDESIRED CONDITION: Some managers believe that minorities and nonminority women are not qualified
for supervisory positions and the inability of some employees to relate well to persons of a different race,
ethnicity or gender.
DESIRED CONDITION: A work place in which all employees value the diversity of the staff and where there
is true equal employment opportunity for all to advance to their maximum potential.
PROBABLE BARRIER: Awareness of managers regarding the EPA's equal employment opportunity
responsibilities under law and commitment of sufficient resources to comprehensive training.
ANALYSIS: As the Agency continues to achieve success in implementation of its affirmative employment
obligations, it has become increasingly clear that occasional misunderstandings or misperceptions, based
in part on a persons' race, ethnicity or gender, create problems within the work place. These problems may
manifest themselves in EEO complaints, grievances, negative verbal communication or disruptions in
performance of work responsibilities. The Agency has concluded that it would be a logical and appropriate
extension of effective affirmative employment practices to increase employees' awareness of cultural
diversity.
EXPECTED ACTION: Combine cultural diversity training with training about the Agency's obligations under
equal opportunity law.
EXPECTED RESULTS: With increased awareness of both the legal requirements and the value of the
diversity that equal opportunity practices bring to the work force, there should result a more productive,
more harmonious and more just work environment.
FOLLOW-UP ACTION: The Office of Civil Rights and the Office of Human Resources Management will
monitor events that suggest the need for these training initiatives and will assist the development of these

PROBLEM/BARRIER IDENTIFICATION - EMPLOYEE DEVELOPMENT RPGRAMS
UNDESIRED CONDITION: Information concerning employee development programs,
particularly formalized executive development programs and the requirements of them,
is not reaching women in the pipeline for senior executive positions. There seems to be
a "Good-Ole-Boy" network in place that excludes women from information, support, and
opportunities to gain visibility and advancement.
DESIRED CONDITION: Information concerning employee development programs is
widely publicized through agency memorandums, briefings to targeted audiences,
information packets, and agency-wide electronic communications systems. An agency-
wide automated system to publicize vacancy announcements, and formal training and
developmental opportunities, is in place, operational, and accessible to all employees.
ANALYSIS/PROBABLE BARRIER: Because of stereotypical attitudes towards the role
of women in the work force, they may not be viewed as "management material" by the
current management structure. Males may be assumed to be better candidates than
women, even with similar training and qualifications. Therefore men are more favorably
considered in the dissemination of information, and selection for career enhancing details,
rotations, etc.
EXPECTED ACTION: The Office of Human Resources Management (OHRM), Executive
Resources and Special Programs Division will develop an information packet on the SES
process and its requirements and distribute to GS 13-15 employees. Headquarters and
regional offices will conduct a series of briefings on the SES and its requirements for
employees in each region and laboratory (Consider combined field sessions). OHRM will
establish an agency-wide automated system to publicize vacancy announcements and
formal training and developmental programs that is accessible to all employees. The EPA
Administrator will mandate training for managers in the importance and value of diversity,
and hold them accountable for their legal obligation to achieve it.

PROBLEM/BARRIER IDENTIFICATION - EMPLOYEE DEVELOPMENT RPGRAMS
UNDESIRED CONDITION: For EPA women, there is a conflict between personal and
professional responsibilities because the agency's organizational culture is not compatible
with the needs of the modern family, and lacks the flexibilities at the senior and executive
levels that are available to employees at the mid and entry levels.
DESIRED CONDITION: The EPA is in tune to the dictates of the demographics of work
force 2000 as it relates to the needs of the modern family. Human capital is viewed as
an asset as vital to accomplishing the Agency's mission as physical capital and financial
assets. Alternative work arrangements to accommodate family needs are commonplace
in the agency, and human resource managers are eager to deal with emerging workplace
family issues, and embrace the opportunity to meet the challenge.
ANALYSIS/PROBABLE BARRIER: Nothing changes until managerial attitudes and
behavior changes. Some senior managers are not sensitive to the family responsibilities
of employees. They expect that a senior level manager will devote a lot of overtime, and
will be able to travel extensively. For women, especially mothers, this makes the decision
to go into senior management and executive level ranks more difficult. Management is
afraid of what will happen if they open up Pandora's box and start talking about gender
differences, and accommodating needs that are peculiar to each, so they are not talking
about anything. However, not dealing with the issue is not going to solve the problem.
EXPECTED ACTION: The Office of Human Resource Management, in conjunction with
the Office of Civil Rights, develop and pilot a seminar for senior level women that
addresses issues such as career decisions, balancing professional/personal needs, office
politics, networking/mentoring, etc. The EPA Administrator needs to establish agency-
wide policies and programs concerning job sharing/part-time tours, flexible workplace,
and other "worker friendly" issues. Formal career counseling and assistance services
should be established throughout the agency that are accessible to all employees at all
levels. Managers need to be educated on issues resulting from modern family needs,
and on the importance of being responsive in the form of reasonable accommodation.

PROBLEM/BARRIER IDENTIFICATION - EMPLOYEE DEVELOPMENT RPGRAMS
PROBLEM/BARRIER STATEMENT: In EPA there is a model for progression to senior
and executive level positions which dictates that in order to advance to these levels it
must be done through the managerial track. There are women and minorities in the EPA
who possess high levels of scientific expertise which should allow for career advancement
rather than having to pursue a career in management. Therefore, these individual's
professional excellence is not valued as highly as individuals who do pursue the positions
in management and they are not selected for senior and executive positions.
DESIRED CONDITION: EPA is able to attract and retain well educated, experienced
professional employees who are committed to its mission because EPA offers satisfying
careers, and professional growth and recognition inside and outside the context of the
Senior Executive Service and the managerial track.
ANALYSIS/PROBABLE BARRIER: Stereotypical attitudes toward individuals who
choose not to become supervisors or managers cloud selecting official's view of those
individual's ability to perform successfully in decision making positions. This agency has
a work force that is well educated, experienced, and considered experts in their field.
However, professional excellence, which should be viewed as critical to decision making
in an agency that deals with highly technical and complex issues, is not valued highly
when selections are made for senior executive and managerial positions.
EXPECTED ACTION: Complete and implement proposed actions to address this issue,
and other quality science issues raised by Women in Science and Engineering, the
agency's Science Advisory Board, and other agency Sci-Tech groups to offer non-
managerial advancement opportunities.

PROBLEM/BARRIER IDENTIFICATION - EMPLOYEE DEVELOPMENT RPGRAMS
UNDESIRED CONDITION: Many women and minorities in scientific professions are
unable to progress beyond entry and mid levels because too much emphasis is placed
on the amount of management experience one has and not enough emphasis on
excellence in one's profession. Consequently, these individuals are viewed as
undesirable candidates for movement into decision making positions and are, in a sense,
penalized for not choosing to enter management. Further, EPA women have a high level
of interest in assuming senior management and executive level positions. However, for
women, opportunities to get managerial training and "hands-on" experience are few. The
present EPA culture is not one that encourages and supports women's efforts to gain the
credentials and experience necessary to be competitive for senior level positions.
OBJECTIVE: The EPA offers satisfying and rewarding careers that provide professional
growth and recognition for professional excellence for its scientific work force outside the
context of the Senior Executive Service and management. In addition, the EPA work
environment, for women, is one that provides equitable opportunities to receive all forms
of training that is designed to prepare its employees for assuming decision making
positions in the agency.

PROGRAM ANALYSIS - PROGRAM EVALUATION
PROBLEM/BARRIER IDENTIFICATION
Evaluation of the EPA Affirmative Employment Program is the responsibility of the Office of Civil Rights
(OCR). Each of the 10 Regions of the Agency have been directed to develop Affirmative Employment
Program Plans (AEPP) and Accomplishment Reports, addressing, where applicable, employment areas
which are of concern to the Agency. Statistical data necessary for monitoring and evaluating EPA's AEP
Program are obtained through the Agency's automated Payroll System (EPAYS). These data include, at a
minimum, current full-time and part-time permanent employment by occupational categories (Professional,
Administrative, Technical, Clerical, Other and Blue Collar), grade groupings (1-4, 5-8, 9-12, 13-15 and SES)
and the 20 most populous occupational series; and comparison of most recent data with previous periods.
The Agency-wide, Headquarters and Regional reports are reviewed and analyzed semi-annually by the OCR,
Affirmative Employment Program Manager to determine the degree of progress being made in implementing
the AEP Program.
To ensure our continued progress in providing ever increasing opportunities to our employees, particularly
minorities, women and people with disabilities, a new initiative was developed and implemented throughout
the Agency in August 1990. The initiative involved the planning, preparation and distribution of a workbook
for use by each Agency component. The workbook's design provides a blueprint for each components' use
in conducting, in a comprehensive manner, a self-analysis of their work force profile. At present, the
workbook includes guidance and instructions for conducting an analysis of the components' employee
composition by race/national origin, sex, occupational category, and grade group level. Further, each
component is required to conduct an analysis of their personnel transactions i.e., accessions,
permanent/temporary promotions, reassignments, cross training and details; a cultural diversity assessment
of GS/GM 13-15 and SES supervisory and management officials, involvement of employees in
developmental programs; and awards and recognition. It also provides specific procedural guidance to
organizational components for determining areas of underrepresentation, the setting of annual affirmative
employment goals, and identifying barriers/problems so that appropriate action(s) may be taken. Since this
new initiative required the collection and analysis of data not previously obtained or examined for affirmative
employment purposes, an automated data retrieval system was also developed. However, while the data
system has been defined and a menu-driven retrieval mechanism created, it is not yet operational. In
addition, the human system interaction familiarity and confidence is in its infancy and will take some time
for adjustment and 'hands-on' use. In carrying out these new responsibilities, each Headquarters
organizational component designated an individual to serve as a their administrator of this process. Each
individual designated serves as a member of the Affirmative Employment Program Liaison Committee. As
with any new initiative, there is a transition period before full understanding and productive participation of
individuals involved is realized. To aid individuals in this transition, Committee members and Regional EEO
Officers were provided training in three evolutionary phases; however, training and assistance will continue
as needed. The Agency has now undergone two reporting cycles under the workbook. While it was
expected that the 'transition' cycle would be strained by the Agency's new/revised and self-imposed
reporting requirements, some AAships and Regions have not followed reporting instructions and been
untimely in preparing and submitting their reports to the Office of Civil Rights.
To ensure accountability and success in affirmative employment initiatives, there is a need to develop an
Affirmative Employment Program checklist for use by the Deputy Administrator during his quarterly reviews
with AAships, Staff Offices, and Regions. The checklist could be used by the Administrator and the Deputy
Administrator in considering affirmative employment results when reviewing the performance of management
officials.

UNDESIRED CONDITION: While it was expected that the 'transition' reporting cycle for preparation and
submission of annual Agency component Affirmative Employment Program Plan Updates and
Accomplishment Reports would be strained by the Agency's new reporting requirements contained in the
Affirmative Employment Program workbook, some AAships and Regions did not followed instructions given
them by the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) regarding the content of their reports. In addition, with the
exception of the Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER), Agency components were
untimely in submitting their reports to the OCR. This situation caused considerable delays in Agency-
wide/Headquarters report preparation and is unacceptable.
DESIRED CONDITION: Cooperation on the part of each Agency component in preparing and submiting
their AEP Plan Update and Accomplishment Report covering all the elements instructed and in the format
and timeframe established.
ANALYSIS/PROBABLE BARRIER: Heads of EPA components do not manage their local Affirmative
Employment Program as they would any other "mission" program and are not giving their reporting
responsibility a proper level of attention. Further, (1) some EEO Officers and Affirmative Employment
Program Liaison Committee members are not following report preparation instructions furnished by the OCR,
and (2) are not preparing reports in enough of advance to meet the suspense date for submission to the
OCR.
EXPECTED ACTION: Annual Plan Updates and Accomplishment Reports will include all of the reporting
elements as instructed, be prepared in the format prescribed and be submitted within the timeframe
established.
EXPECTED RESULTS: No delay in the preparation of the Agency-wide/Headquarters Plan due to
improperly prepared or late Agency component reports.
FOLLOW-UP ACTION: The Office of Civil Rights will continue to provide Notices of Receipt and Notices
of Assessment of Updates and Accomplishment Reports to each Agency component.

STATEMENT OF ADEQUATE MONITORING/EVALUATION SYSTEMS
To ensure the existence of a viable and results-oriented Affirmative Employment Program within the EPA,
several monitoring and evaluation methods are employed:
* AFFIRMATIVE EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM PLANS/ACCOMPLISHMENT REPORTS: Under the
instructions set forth in the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's Management Directive (EEOC MD)
714, the EPA published an Agency-wide and Headquarters Multi-Year Affirmative Employment Program Plan
(AEPP) covering fiscal years 1988-1992. As required by EEOC MD 714, the Plan was submitted to the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) who reviewed and approved the EPA's Plan for
implementation. Each fiscal year, the Plan is updated and accomplishment reports on the results of
affirmative action efforts are published. Plan updates and accomplishment reports, prepared by the Office
of Civil Rights (OCR) - with the participation of Agency components, are also submitted to the EEOC for
review and approval.
* HUMAN RESOURCES OFFICIALS/COMMITTEES/EEO PROGRAM OFFICIALS: As needed, the OCR
is assisted in performing periodic affirmative employment program assessments and evaluations by a 12
member fully trained Affirmative Employment Program Liaison Committee, 3 Area Directors, 10 Regional EEO
Officers, National Special Emphasis Program Managers and Co-Managers and Coordinators within the
various regions/localities nationwide, Human Resources staff and related committees.
* AUTOMATED PERSONNEL DATA SYSTEM (EPAYS): The OCR has several avenues for retrieval of
personnel data (1) EPA ADP generated 'canned' statistical reports depicting work force composition by
occupational category, grade group levels; gains/losses; etc., (2) a EPA Payroll Systems (EPAYS) database
which resides on EPA's mainframe computer at the National Computer Center located at Research Triangle
Park, North Carolina, which provides the capability to generate specialized one-time or recurring statistical
reports and (3) the Office of Personnel Management's Central Personnel Data File (CPDF).
* ON-SITE REVIEWS: In addition to on site reviews conducted by the EEOC, the OCR makes period visits
to Regions and Laboratories to provide advice and guidance as necessary.
* EXTERNALLY DEVELOPED PROGRAM EVALUATION TOOLS: In performing program reviews and
evaluations, the OCR also utilizes EEOC Order No. 960.002 of August 31, 1988 subject: EEOC Staff Guide
for the Evaluation and Coordination of Federal Affirmative Employment Programs for Minorities, Women and
People with Disabilities pursuant to EEO Management Directives 712, 713 and 714.

ANNUAL AFFIRMATIVE EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENT REPORT
FISCAL YEAR 1993
SUMMARY ANALYSIS OF WORKFORCE
This is the sixth annual report on the Environmental Protection Agency's Affirmative
Employment Program for minorities and women. This report contains the
accomplishments during the past fiscal year on the part of the Agency in hiring,
promoting, and developing minorities and women. Part C of the Affirmative Employment
Program Plan Update for Fiscal Year 1993 pertains to the hiring, placement, and
advancement of people with disabilities. This report is submitted in accordance with the
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) Management Directives cited below.
Initially, FY 1992 was scheduled to be the last year in a five year (multi-year) Affirmative
Employment Program Plan cycle. However, on October 30, 1991, the EEOC exercised
its authority to extend, for an additional one-year period (through fiscal year 1993), the
coverage of EEO-Management Directives 713 subject: Affirmative Action for Hiring,
Placement, and Advancement of Individuals with Handicaps, and 714 subject: Instructions
for the Development and Submission of Federal Affirmative Employment Multi-Year
Program Plans. Annual Accomplishment Reports, and Annual Plan Updates for FY 1988
through FY 1992. By letter dated September 17,1993, the EEOC extended the coverage
of EEO Management Directives 713 and 714 for an additional year, and again on
September 17,1993. This report covers the employment of minorities and women in the
EPA from October 1,1992 through September 30,1993. The report also highlights some
of the trends and changes in the EPA workforce from FY 1987 through 1993. The
personnel statistical data in this report was retrieved from the Environmental Protection
Agency's Payroll System (EPAYS)1. The statistical data is government-wide or agency-
wide only and includes workforce data for permanent full-time and part-time Federal
employees. Civilian labor force statistics used in planning, developing, and evaluating the
Agency's Affirmative Employment Program were obtained from the 1980 and 1990
Census Availability Data (CAD) provided by the EEOC. The 1990 CAD was used to
assess the EPA progress for fiscal years ending 1990 through 1993 and includes all
persons, 16 years of age or older, excluding those in the Armed Forces, who are PART
1 Data source: Environmental Protection Agency Payroll System (EPAYS), September 19,1992.
The EPAYS is an automated file. The EPA, Office of Civil Rights maintains a subsystem to that file known
as the Equal Employment Reporting System (EERS) through which it obtains periodic recurring reports.
The EPAYS includes information on individual identification such as Social Security Number and date of
birth- employee characteristics such as sex, minority status (required to be maintained under strict
precautions to protect racial or ethnic identification of individuals in personnel records), service computation
date tenure, educational level, veteran's preference; and on such job characteristics as agency codes,
submitting office numbers, geographic location of duty, pay plan, grade, salary, occupational series, and
supervisory status, etc.

WOMEN: While EPA has a higher rate of representation of women (49.7%) than does
the Civilian Labor Force (CLF) (45.7%), there are occupations and grade levels where
they are below their rate of availability in the CLF.

AFFIRMATIVE EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM FOR
MINORITIES, WOMEN, AND PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
ANNUAL AFFIRMATIVE EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENT REPORT
SUMMARY ANALYSIS OF WORK FORCE (continued)
NET GROWTH: Minorities represented 41 percent of the net growth between September
1992 and September 1993. The second highest rate of growth was in White men at 34
percent. White women were 25 percent of the net growth, people with disabilties were
10 percent. Although minorities had the highest rate of net growth it was, for the most
part, not in grade levels where they are manifestly or conspicuously absent.
PEOPLE WITH TARGETED DISABILITIES: Little is being accomplished in this area
While the EPA has made some facilities modifications, and some equipment has been
purchased, ground in increasing their numbers was lost during FY 1993 when their total
went from 132 to 127 (-5).
PROFESSIONAL POSITIONS: Fourty-seven percent of the EPA's work force held
professional positions by the end of FY 1993. Between FY 1992 and FY 1993 the
professional work force increased from 7,908 to 8,038 (+130). There was an increase
of 25 white women (from 1991 to 2,016), and an increase of 37 minority women (from 540
(6.8%) to 577 (7.2%)). Minority men increased by 32 raising their number/percentage
from 735 (9.1%) to 767 (9.5%). While the numbers of white women and minorities
increased, their percent of representation in professional positions changed very little over
the last three years as depicted in the chart below. The chart also provides for a
comparison of their rate of representation to that of the civilian labor force. As shown,
white women and American Indian men and women remain below the CLF.

In professional grades 13-15, white women held 1,112 (22%) of the positions which was
an increase of 112 over the previous year however, that increase only reduced the gap
between their rate of representation in professional positions 13-15 and their availability
in the CLF by less than 1/1 Oth of a percentage point. Minorities held 653 or 13% of
professional grades 13 through 15 as compared to their 15 percent rate of availability in
the relevant civilian labor force. Minority women increased from 214 (4.6%) to 248 (4.9%)

UPDATE 94
ANNUAL AFFIRMATIVE EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENT REPORT
SUMMARY ANALYSIS OF WORK FORCE (continued)
1.8 percentage points below target, and minority men increased from 367 (7.9%) to 405
(8.1%) just .2 percentage points below target. Both white women and minorities remain
below the target level in SES positions.
ADMINISTRATIVE POSITIONS: Thirty-seven percent of all employees were in
Administrative positions at the end of FY 1993. While the number of white women
increased between FY 1992 and FY 1993, their percent of representation slightly
decreased from 38.3 percent to 37.8 percent leaving them 2.6 percentage points below
the target level of 40.4 percent. The number/percent of minority men increased by 24
(from 373 (6.2%) to 397 (6.4%) but, still 1.5 percentage points below the target of 7.9
percent. Minority women remain fully represented in administrative positions except in
grades 13 and above. At the SES level both white women and minorities remain below
the target level.
MANAGERIAL/SUPERVISORY POSITIONS: Women continue to fall short of expected
levels of representation in managerial/supervisory positions grades 13 through 15. Here
they hold only 31.5 percent of the decision making positions yet, they are almost 50
percent of the EPA's work force. Their presents is even lower at the SES level where they
held only 22% of the positions. Minorities were 14.1 percent of the EPA population in
grades 13 through 15 by the end of FY 1993 yet, held less than 12 percent of decision
making positions at these grade levels.
SELECTIONS TO MANAGEMENT POSITIONS (FY 1993)1: There were 289 personnel
selections during FY 1993. Of that total, 37.4 percent were white women which was
above their 35.3 percent rate of availability in the relevant civilian labor force. Sixteen
percent of the selections were minorities well below their 22 percent availability in the
civilian labor force.

OBJECTIVE: To increase commitment and accountability of program/hiring officials
throughout the Agency for improving the representation of minorities and women.
ACTION ITEMS:
Issue affirmative employment program policy, specific goals
and program objectives for Office, Division and Branch levels
as appropriate.
Institute policy and mechanisms for assuring that hiring
officials actively recruit and consider minorities and women
prior to making selections.
Include assessment of progress in meeting specific affirmative
action goals/ objectives in performance evaluations of all
managers and supervisors.
Design, develop and offer EEO Awareness training through the
EPA Institute.
Issue policy statement which outlines specific goals and
program objectives for the Agency and, by example,

ACCOMPLISHMENTS
While there continue to be instances where commitment to, and accountability for,
improving the representation of minorities and women is clearly demonstrated and is
considered "mission related," we have yet to achieve the objective. Most EPA
components include AEP goals and objectives in their annual Affirmative Employment
Program Plan Update and Accomplishment Reports as required. Not all manager's
performance standards regarding the management and development of human resources
contain an EEO element. Since training helps people develop the skills needed to
effectively interact with each other, a pilot EEO course was developed and demonstrated.
Thereafter, the course evolved more toward managing "cultural diversity." Training has
been conducted in various organizational components. The focus remains on the
development of both EEO and cultural diversity curricula, and to incorporate such training
into management development courses. Specific, detailed instructions and guidance for
the preparation of AEP reports was issued by the OCR on the development of targeted
affirmative employment goals and objectives. EPA officials received training and logistical
support to develop effective recruitment strategies for program objectives. A National Civil

Rights Program Workshop titled "Workshop 2000 Quality for Equality" was held June 21-
24,1993. More than 250 EPA employees attended the three and one half day workshop.
The EPA Administrator gave the keynote address. Participants included many top
managers from throughout the Agency, EPA EEO Officers, Area Directors for Civil Rights,
National and Regional Special Emphasis and Programs Managers, AAship Affirmative
Employment Program Managers, EEO Counselors, other EEO officials and senior
program managers. The workshop was organized into the six major topic areas critical
to an effective civil rights and EEO program - (1) Leadership and Accountability, (2)
Complaints Processing and External Compliance, (3) Special Emphasis Programs, (4)
Education and Training, (5) Program Management and Operations, and (6) Affirmative
Employment Program. The objective of the workshop was twofold: (1) to increase the
awareness of participants concerning their EEO and civil rights responsibilities and to
elevate the interest, understanding and support of management officials; and (2) to gain
input from all organizational components of EPA into a two year operating plan for
improving the management and effectiveness of the EPA's EEO and civil rights programs.
The operating plan is presently being developed. Upon its completion it will be distributed
throughout the EPA for implementation.

PROGRAM ELEMENT: ORGANIZATION AND RESOURCES
PROBLEM/BARRIER STATEMENT: Sufficient financial support for the FWP is not being provided. Some
of the FWP Managers have not received training which would provide them the skills, knowledge and
abilities they need to properly function in their positions. Others have limited access to information and
guidance. This impacts on their ability to offer sound advice and assistance to management officials on
employment concerns of women. Activities of the local and national FWP, WISE, and SAAC organizations
are not synchronized nor mutually supportive. The National FWP Manager does not have the level of field
interaction necessary to select issues for national attention.
OBJECTIVE: The Federal Women's Program, WISE, and SAAC in the Regional Offices and laboratories are
effective in addressing employment issues of women and are able to provide sound advice, information, and
feedback to their management officials and to the National FWP Manager, and effectively lead their councils
and groups.

PROGRAM ELEMENT: WORK FORCE ~~~
PROBLEM/BARRIER STATEMENT: There is a manifest imbalance of minorities and women in major
occupational areas within EPA work force. Failure to remedy this situation results in part from inadequate
targeting of recruitment effort.
OBJECTIVE: To increase the representation of minorities and women in occupational categories and in
organizational components comparable to the civilian labor force.
ACTION ITEMS:
Conduct targeted projected to recruit members of groups that remain
under-represented.
Hire, train and promote EEO group members to increase their levels of

representation is below the appropriate civilian labor force.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The Agency's efforts to focus recruitment in areas of underrepresentation continues to
improve in some organizations as operating component's work with Agency recruitment
specialists, minority professional organizations and minority academic institutions. An
enhancement to the EPAYS automated personnel data system is in the process of being
developed that will provide managers with the capability to track personnel transactions
within their component, i.e., hires, promotions, performance evaluations, awards, training,
etc.; on component employees by race, national origin and sex (data only). However,
ever increasing funding constraints are impacting the progress of this initiative. This
situation will be further explored. The Agency continues to support and encourage
minorities and women to participate in programs that enhance their credentials and
eligibility for promotion to higher grades. There is careful monitoring of the "feeder
groups" that supply candidates for positions in grades 13-15, where significant levels of
underrepresentation remain.

REPORT OF OBJECTIVES AND ACTION ITEMS
PROGRAM ELEMENT: DISCRIMINATION COMPLAINTS
PROBLEM/BARRIER STATEMENT: Increased number of discrimination complaints, requiring prolonged
process to reach resolution, indicates difficult interpersonal relationships in the work place, as well as
possible discrimination. Present barriers to improved complaint processing include increasing caseload,
inadequate resources for complaint process, EEOC's narrow interpretation of the reasons for dismissal of
complaints, and too little understanding of equal opportunity laws and different cultures.
OBJECTIVE: To lessen problems which lead to discrimination complaints and to expedite process leading
to complaint resolution.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The Agency established a cultural diversity taskforce to find methods to help staff members work in an
increasingly diverse environment. With the success of equal employment opportunity policies, it has
become apparent that individuals need to learn better cross-cultural understanding and improve
interpersonal skills. It is anticipated that a successful cultural diversity training program will lessen
interpersonal tensions and diminish the filing of discrimination complaints. In concert with an outside
vendor, the Agency is developing a standard Cultural Diversity Workshop for all staff and managers; it should
be piloted and operational by early FY 1994. The Agency has conducted pilot EEO training and is
continuing its efforts to develop a standard EEO course for managers. To expedite review of case law
pertaining to complaints of discrimination and the writing of final agency decisions, a full-time Expert was
hired. In addition, new EEO Counselors have been added to the staff and have been provided appropriate
training. The OCR maintains a strict policy on acceptance of only those discrimination complaints filed within
the regulatory time limits established. OCR will continue this policy and will contest those decisions by
EEOC that appear to broaden this standard for complaint acceptance decisions. The OCR has continued
to support complainants who choose to take their cases to hearing before EEOC by promptly providing case
files and all necessary documents to the EEOC and encouraging the EEOC to conduct hearings in a prompt
and expeditious manner.

BACKGROUND: In 1987, the U.S. Congress passed P.L 99-383, Section 8, which established The
President's Taskforce on Women. Minorities and the Handicapped in Science and Technology. In December
1989, the issued its report which identified serious problems with science education in the United States
and predicted severe shortages of scientists and engineers in the future due, in part, to changing
demographics. The report suggested six national goals and thirty remedial actions that must be taken by

develop an Agency Plan. The EPA Minority Academic Institutions Task Force (MAITF). established in June
1990, was one of such workgroups. They reviewed each of the thirty recommendations and as a result of
that review, developed 34 specific actions that the EPA could initiate. Since the objectives and action items
deal with issued having impact on minorities, the Action Plan developed by the MAITF was merged into the
EPA Affirmative Employment Program Plan in its FY 1992 Update. While the Office of Civil Rights has MAI
program reporting responsibility, the Office of Environmental Equity, established in 1992, has responsibility
for program oversight. For the purpose of more effective program management and ease in program
reporting, the 10 objectives/34 action items have been consolidated and organized under 4 categories in
this portion of the report as well as in the FY 1993 AEP Plan Update. The 4 categories are: (1) Education,
(2) Employment, (3) Research and Development, and (4) Management Accountability and Institutional
issues.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
EDUCATION: A new two-year Environmental Science Management Training Program was initiated by the
National Urban Fellows Program at Tufts University. This program offers mid-career professionals an
opportunity to earn a masters degree in environmental science management and to gain work experience
at EPA. With EPA financial support, eight participants are currently enrolled in this program which started
its second year in September 1992. During FY 1993, the program graduated 8 fellows; in FY 1994 7 were
added and will begin their mentorship in August 1994.
A fellowship and scholarship program was established to provide long-term financial and mentoring support
to students in undergraduate and graduate environmental programs.
The MAITF expanded an existing undergraduate scholarship program and created a new graduate fellowship
program for students from HBCUs and HACUs. During FY 1992, 20 graduate fellowships and 18
undergraduate scholarships were awarded to students at 18 minority academic institutions. The program
will continue throughout FY 1993 and FY 1994.
EMPLOYMENT: Recognizing that an effective recruitment strategy is essential, the MAI Task Force
recommended that EPA establish college relations programs on several HBCU and HACU campuses. Senior
EPA officials are now serving as Campus Executives, coordinating recruitment activities, and fostering
linkages between these adopted institutions and EPA.

The MAI Task Force established the Coop-Progression Program to build technical knowledge and support
not only for students, but for MAI faculty and mid-career minority professionals as well. The program was
piloted in 1991 and expanded during FY1992 to include EPA's laboratories and regional offices. The Coop-
Progression program recruits 10th and 11th grade minority students to be employed part-time at EPA. On
their graduation from high school, EPA pays up to $5,000 a year college tuition and employs the students
coops during undergraduate and graduate training. In addition, EPA's Office of Research and Development
(ORD) and some Regions have independently reached out to local MAIs to strengthen the relationship
between EPA and the local institutions by establishing programs in environmental education. During FY
1992,10 programs were established across the ORD laboratories to provide cooperative education to Black,
Hispanic, Native American, and Native Alaskan students.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT: Through the efforts of the MAI Task Force, three new Minority
Academic Institution Research Centers were established at Clark Atlanta University at Atlanta, Southern
University in Baton Rouge, and the University of Texas at El Paso. The purpose of these centers is to build
the research capacities at minority institutions. The MAI Task Force found that past funding levels for
research assistance at MAIs had not been adequate to build research activities in environmental areas, to
develop curricula in sciences and engineering, or to encourage faculty participation in these fields. The FY
1992 funding for these three centers was $3 million. Budget constraints may prevent this program from
increasing.
Faculty from MAIs were encouraged to participate in EPA's Faculty Fellows Program, where they may spend
4-6 months in research facilities working on priority environmental PART A, Subpart B (Agency-wide).
projects. The objective is for faculty, enriched by this experience, to return to their home institutions to
continue relevant research and to mentor and encourage students in environmental studies. This program
accommodates 15 to 20 faculty from Historically Black Colleges/Universities (HBCU) each year.
MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTABILITY/INSTITUTIONAL ISSUES: In order to foster greater support for the
objectives of Executive Orders 12677 and 12729, the Management Accountability and Institutional Issues
Subcommittee, of the EPA's MAI Task Force developed a directory for managers which lists all of the
program activities the EPA is engaged in with MAIs - research grants, cooperative education agreements,

ACCOMPLISHMENTS
In January 1992, the EPA implemented an SES Minority Recruitment Plan. The Plan established a standard minority recruiting
"questionnaire" for selecting officials to complete as part of the administrative recruitment process. The intent of the
questionnaire...to generate thought and pro-active plans regarding what specific action is needed to ensure that the SES
announcement reaches and attracts sufficient numbers of qualified minorities and nonminority women candidates. Between the
end of FY 1992 and FY 1993, the total SES population decreased by 14 (4.9%) from 287 to 273. White men decreased by 19 from
218 to 199. In contrast, the number of White women increased by 4 (+7.3%) raising their number from 55 to 59. There was no
change in the number of minority men. The number of minority women increased from 2 raising their percentage from less than
one percent to 1.1%. Since minority men experienced their greatest increase (see the chart below) over the past 5 year period
between the end of FY 1991 and FY 1992, the period during which the questionnaire was implemented and used, it could be
concluded that implementation of the "questionnaire" had a positive effect. Using this same criteria, it does not appear that the
steady increase of White women was as a result of the questionnaire.

In some cases, Total Quality Management (TQM) practices have helped in this area by
increasing communications between managers and employees. These increased
communications have resulted in more rotational "leadership-oriented" assignments within
organizational components. This is providing opportunities for some employees to gain
experience in managing and developing leadership skills. Again, as discussed elsewhere
in this section, the EPA has developed and/or participates in a variety of leadership
development programs such as the OPM sponsored Women's Executive Leadership
(WEL) Program, and EPA's Greater Leadership Opportunities (GLO) Program which are
designed to prepare minorities and women for leadership positions. To meet the need
for long-range leadership development for employees in grades ranging from GS-4 to GS-

In view of its need to attract a larger share of a smaller pool, the EPA is taking a more progressive approach
to employee recruitment. A central focus to these efforts was the development of a 5-Year Strategic
Marketing Plan that will enable the EPA to become the "employer of choice" among its targeted audiences.
The Plan theme "Preserving Our Future Today is clear, relevant and compelling and captures the essence
of the mission of the agency. An effective means of recruiting candidates is through establishment of a
meaningful and reliable network of referral. The Plan is tailored to meet the professional recruitment needs
of the agency while at the same time significantly expanding the diversity of its workforce. Through
executive policy statements, memorandums of guidance and instruction, management responsibilities have
been clearly communicated. In addition, a variety of hiring authorities and special employment programs
continues to be used to attract qualified applicants. The Agency's efforts, intentions and accomplishments
regarding Minority Academic Institutions is well documented in this report. The appointment of personnel
with responsibilities for identifying and establishing effective recruitment sources has produced better results
in recruitment efforts. The Human Resources Management Division, Research Triangle Park, prepared a
Recruitment Resources Guide to assist managers in targeting specific minority populations in colleges,
universities and professional organizations. The Guide gives information on (1) minority populations by State
from the 1990 Census, (2) local and national colleges and universities that have significant minority student
populations, (3) lists minority professional organizations and publications, and (4) identifies specific
occupational series that are targeted for affirmative employment initiatives and lists the recommended
sources for targeted recruitment.

While minorities and women are participating in
developmental programs, their participation rate
remains below the desired level. Rotational
assignments are an important component in
providing career development opportunities for
employees particularly minorities, women, and
people with disabilities. By the close of FY
1993, 7 executive level rotational assignments
were made to serve as Special Assistants to the
Administrator and/or Deputy Administrator.
Participants included 2 Asian-American women, 1
Black man, 2 White women, and 2 White men.
Organizational components continue to be urged
to use special training and development
assignments especially for mid-level positions
that feed grade levels where minorities and
women remain underrepresented. Accordingly,
through the Greater Leadership Opportunities
program and other initiatives adopted by
individual operating components, targeted
training opportunities are expanding and will
continue to do so. Although there is some EEO
training and workforce diversity awareness
training included in supervisory courses, the
Agency has not yet established such training
courses for managers to take on a routine basis.
Training has been developed and is being
offered. The Special Emphasis Program managers,
at headquarters and in the field, along with
staff of the Office of Human Resources
Management, provide information through various
media regarding advancement of minorities and
women. Although this practice is ongoing, it
could be more effective if carried out routinely

Accomplished.
A training program was held in Cincinnati over a two-day period. A "pre-

data systems used in monitoring and evaluating the progress of the AEP.
he Memorandum of Understanding between the OCR and the Administrative Systems Division, specifically
outlines the framework upon which the Agency's Equal Employment Opportunity Reporting System (EERS)
will be developed, implemented, managed and maintained. It also assigns major roles and responsibilities
necessary to ensure uninterrupted operation, support and maintenance of the system. The Director, OCR
appointed an EERS Administrator to ensure that the system meets the needs of users throughout the
Agency. The EERS Administrator was given the authority to direct the day-to-day operation of the EERS
and the authority to grant/deny EERS user access so that system security is not compromised. Since
implementation of the agreement, the ASD has assigned a Systems Manager to the EERS and work on the
system has begun. A second tier of system automation began during FY 1993 and is expected to continue
throughout FY 1994. To enable management officials to have computer generated access to workforce data
which specifically pinpoints areas needing affirmative action initiatives, the OCR is in the process of
examining an existing automated system for Agency-wide use, developed by one of the EPA's Headquarters
components. The system gives data in specifically prescribed formats using LOTUS software. The "LOTUS"
reports are ideal since they can be modified to accept data directly from the EPA's Payroll System. This
action would eliminate the need for Agency components to do data "gathering" which is time consuming,
costly and subject to error. Agency-wide application is being explored.

PROBLEM/BARRIER STATEMENT: Some AAships and Regions have not followed instructions provided by
the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) regarding the content of their reports. In addition, most Agency components
have been untimely in submitting their reports to the OCR. Eight (32%) of the components did not submit
a report. This has caused considerable delay in the preparation of the Agency-wide Plan Update and
Accomplishment Report. Further, accountability on the part of management officials for developing,
implementing, and evaluating component AEP Plans/Accomplishment Reports continues to be sorely
lacking.
OBJECTIVE: Cooperation on the part of each Agency component in preparing and submitting their AEP
Plan Update and Accomplishment Report covering all the elements instructed and in the format and
timeframe established.
ACTION ITEMS:
Jtilize the Affirmative Employment Program Planning,
Development, Execution and Evaluation workbook to
conduct internal program reviews. Forward a copy of

ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Initially, the "Checklist" was to have solely addressed the Affirmative Employment
Program. However, in the early stages of development, it was recognized that a more
comprehensive checklist was needed to include the full realm of Civil Rights. To ensure
that all topical areas were included, a team of subject matter experts was organized. The
checklist covers 17 major areas of interest - policies and practices; organization and
resources; staffing; affirmative employment; workforce profiles; special emphasis
programs; training and employee development; awards; disciplinary actions; recruitment
and retention; outreach and external affairs; workforce diversity; environmental equity; and
patterns of discrimination complaints. The checklist was coordinated with all EPA
components. During FY 1993, some EEO Officers in the Regions used the Checklist as
a "self-assessment" tool. In some cases, specific actions were taken to correct noted
shortfalls. The Checklist awaits formal Agency-wide implementation.

NOTEWORTHY ACTIVITIES/INITIATIVES
AGENCY-WIDE
The following are activities, initiatives, etc., which the EPA engaged in during FY1993 that are not described
elsewhere in this report and are of significant importance to its EEO/Affirmative Employment Program:
SPECIAL STAFF (OCR) TRAINING/EDUCATION: The EPA views a well informed and technically
competent Civil Rights staff to be among the critical elements needed for a successful Equal Employment
Opportunity/Civil Rights Program. To be most productive and effective EEO careerists must have
knowledge of current legislation, rules and regulations having direct/indirect impact on personnel practices,
policies and procedures. An organizations' ability to attract and retain a cadre of experts in any field
depends upon its ability to demonstrate concern for and commitment to furthering their education and
development. In keeping with this principle, during 1993, the EPA provided training for its members of the
Civil Rights staff by conducting:
* Training forums, some covering a period of several days, which gave EEO staff and other participants
an opportunity to expand their knowledge in specific subject areas i.e., affirmative employment,
environmental equity, minority academic institutions, environmental education, discrimination complaints,
external compliance, special emphasis issues, and statistical data analysis and program review. The training
forums also provided an opportunity for participants to exchange information, discuss similar concerns and
ideas, and meet and develop a rapport with new members of the staff.
* The EPA's Black Employment Program, unlike the Hispanic and Federal Women's Program, is not
based on any mandate. Nevertheless, it was established to call attention to the needs and concerns of its
Black employees as well as employment applicants, and to address the conditions which presently exist that
may serve as barriers or impediments to their employment and/or advancement. The Program is an integral
part of the Agency's EEO Program under the stewardship of the Director, Office of Civil Rights. To assure
the necessary leadership and expertise needed to achieve the goals and objectives of the program, the
Agency employs a full-time National Black Employment Program Manager (NBEPM). To assist the NBEPM,
collateral duty BEP Managers have been appointed, on a collateral duty basis, in each Region and
Laboratory. So that each individual may fully contribute to their special assignment, various training
opportunities are provided. One such opportunity is the Agency's annual Black Employment Program
Manager's Training Conference which is typically held in conjunction with the Annual Blacks in Government
(BIG) Training Conference. Attendance and participation in thes training conference gives BEP Managers
a chance to meet and discuss issues with Black national/community leaders, develop and/or enhance their
skills, knowledge and abilities as special emphasis program managers and network with other program
officials and experts.

AGENCY-WIDE NOTEWORTHY ACTIVITIES/INITIATIVES (continued)
AMERICAN INDIAN SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM: The EPA stepped up its efforts to target recruitment of
American Indians for example, it contacted American Indian students enrolled in various colleges and
universities to solicit their applications for consideration for either summer or full-time employment. Through
cooperative efforts of various program offices the EPA funds an American Indian Scholarship Program
administered by the American Indians in Science and Engineering Society (AISES). During FY 1993,
$182,000. was allocated for 41 scholarships. Efforts are underway to create a specific budget for the
scholarship program.
ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT CAREER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM: In a report from the EPA National
Human Resources Council to the Administrator on the impact of technological changes on the EPA work
force, it was recommended that the Administrator commission an Agency-wide review and analysis of the
secretarial/clerical jobs within the context of the changing technological environment. It was recommended
that consideration be given to a major redesign of job descriptions for secretarial/clerical employees. The
report suggests that roles such as Office Managers, Office Automation Assistants, Communication
Specialists or Program Assistants may evolve. Since publication of that report, several EPA organizations
studied the impact of technology on their secretarial workforce, developed pilot career management
systems, conducted internal assessments of their secretarial work force, or convened discussion groups to
review the issues raised in that report. As a result of collaborative efforts between Headquarters, Regions
and Field staffs, and the Secretarial Advisory Council, an Administrative Support Career Management System
was established in the later part of FY 1991 and implemented in FY 1992. By the close of FY 1993, 75
percent of the implementation plans were in place. Eighty-one percent of managers and supervisors
received a one hour briefing and a half day training session. Approximately 275 position were reclassified
from secretarial/clerical to other "office management" type positions. Of the 275, 25 were at Headquarters.
PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES PROGRAM: To give much needed added emphasis to the program two
employees have been assigned program management responsibility - one full-time Program Manager to
serve Headquarters, and one individual, located in Region 5, to serve on a collateral duty appointment to
serve all Regions. Both positions were filled through competitive procedures - not to exceed one year. In
addition, the EPA expanded its association with organizations concerned with the placement and
advancement of people with disabilities to develop sources of qualified candidates, exchange information,
and explore avenues for program enhancement. One example of the EPA's expanded networking is with
the International Association of Machinists Center for Administering Rehabilitation and Employment Services
(IAM CARES) - a federally-funded professional placement agency that screens and matches qualified worker
with the staffing needs of employers. The Director, Office of Civil Rights (OCR) is a member of the IAM
CARES' Business Advisory Council (BAG) which provides guidance and support to IAM CARES projects.
One of the EPA goals in FY 1994 will be to develop an effective working relationship with the Business of
Advisory Council for the Bridges...From School to Work (BFSW) Program1 through the Director's, OCR
membership on the Council.

1 The Marriott Foundation for People with Disabilities was established in 1989 by the family of J. Willard
Marriott, founder of Marriott Corporation. The Foundation's mission is to foster the employment of young
people with disabilities. To achieve this mission, the Foundation developed and operates a transition
program, "Bridges....From School to Work" which develops paid internships for students in their final year
of high school.

SPECIAL PROGRAMS: The Minority Fellows Program is a joint project of the Office of Research and
Development (ORD) and the Environmental Careers Organization (EOC), a national, nonprofit organization.
Through the FELLOWS Prograin now in its ninth year, EPA advisors may compete for one of 35 students
from Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities
institutions. The 35 Fellows in the program are receiving scholarships from EPA and are required to do
research summer internships at the Agency through the EOC program. The Fellows Program is fully funded
by the ORD. The Environmental Associates Program is also a joint venture between EPA and the ECO.
Coordinated by the Office of Environmental Equity, the program matches student interns from universities
throughout the nation with EPA projects initiated by EPA supervisors and managers. In FY 1993, over 100
interns (70%) minorities) completed assignments at various EPA Laboratories, and Headquarters.
The EPA's Summer Honors Program is a significant source for quality student lawyers. Second year
students who participate in the program are considered for full time employment after their graduation.
Through this program five minority lawyers were hired. Nine students participated in the 1993 Honors
Program which included 5 (56%) minorities.
A variety of programs operating throughout the EPA under various titles (e.g., The Discovery Program, The
Minority Research Apprenticeship Program, etc.) continue to provide academic enrichment and specialized
training opportunities to minority high school students. The programs aim to interest students in careers
that would contribute to environmental protection.
GREATER LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES (GLO): EPA women and minorities in grades GS-11 through
GS-13 are eligible to compete for enrollment in GLO program. The program provides participants an
opportunity to develop leadership skills through a year-long developmental program. The names of
graduates of the program are entered into an EPA Leadership Potential Databank for use by EPA managers
as an additional source for filling leadership positions. In April and September 1993, Classes # 10 and 11
graduated 54 employees of which 23 (42.6%) are minorities and 47 (87%) are women.
SCIENCE ADVISORY BOARD (SAB): A GM-13 (promotion potential to grade 14) Hispanic male was
selected to serve as a staff member of the SAB. This action is most noteable since he is the first minority
to serve as a member of the professional staff.
APPOINTMENTS TO SENIOR LEVEL POSITIONS: Since assuming leadership of the EPA, the
Administrator has made a significant number of appointments of minorities and women to senior level
positions: 1 Chief of Staff (White woman), 1 Special Counsel (White woman), 9 Special Assistants (1 Asian-
American woman, 1 Hispanic man, 4 White women, and 3 White men), 1 Associate Deputy Administrator
(White woman), 1 Deputy Chief of Staff (Black man), 2 Associate Administrators (White women), and 1

PROGRAM ANALYSIS - WORK FORCE PROFILE
An analysis of the EPA Headquarters work force was conducted using Agency generated work force data
from the Environmental Protection Agency's Payroll System (EPAYS) as of September 18, 1993.
The work force analysis concentrates on the Professional and Administrative occupational categories and
grade groupings (GS/GM 5-8, 9-12, 13-15, and SES) located within the Headquarters' twelve (12)
organizational components and the offices of the Inspector General and General Counsel since these two
occupational categories constitutes? percent of all Headquarters' positions. Each organizational component
was reviewed and evaluated individually. The primary focus of the analysis was on identifying the grade
goup levels in Professional and Administrative occupations which have a minofest imbalance or conspicuous
absence of minorities and nonminority women using the relevant Civilian Labor Force (CLF) (provided by
the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission derived from the 1990 U.S. Census) as the benchmark for
such determinations. The EPA has defined manifest imbalance and conspicuous absence as:
CONSPICUOUS ABSENCE
0% - 25%
MANIFEST IMBALANCE
26% - 75%
NEAR PARITY
76% - 99.9%
Conspicuous Absence -
'Particular EEO group that is
nearly or totally nonexistent from
a particular occupation or grade
evel in the workforce."
For EPA analysis, conspicuous
absence is defined as 0% - 25%
of the relevant Civilian Labor
Force.
Manifest Imbalance -
'Representation of EEO groups in
a specific occupational grouping
or grade level in the Agency's
workforce that is substantially
Delow its representation in the
appropriate CLF."
For EPA analysis, manifest
mbalance is defined as 26% -
'5% of the relevant Civilian Labor
rorce.
Near Parity -
Representation of EEO groups in
a specific occupational grouping
or grade level in the Agency's
work force that is near parity with
he Appropriate Civilian Labor
rorce.
ror EPA analysis, near parity is
defined as 76% - 99.9% of the
elevant Civilian Labor Force.

PART B, Subpart A - (Headquarters) UPDATE 94
AFFIRMATIVE EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM FOR MINORITIES, WOMEN AND PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
PROGRAM ANALYSIS - EMPLOYEE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS
UNDESIRED CONDITION: The existence of a misperception by some managers that minorities and
nonminority women are not qualified for supervisory positions and the inability of some employees to relate
well to persons of a different race, ethnicity or gender.
DESIRED CONDITION: A work place in which all employees value the diversity of the staff and where there
is true equal employment opportunity for all to advance to the maximum potential.
ANALYSIS: As the Agency continues to achieve success in implementation of its affirmative employment
obligations, it has become increasingly clear that occasional misunderstandings or misperceptions, based
in in part on persons' race, age, ethnicity or geneder, create problems within the work place. These
problems may manifest themselves in EEO complaints, employee grievances, negative verbal communication
or disruptions in performance of work. The Agency has concluded that it would be a logical and appropriate
extension of effective affirmative employment practices to increase employees' awareness of cultural
diversity.
PROBABLE BARRIER: Awareness of managers regarding the Agency's equal employment opportunity
responsibilities under law and commitment of sufficient resources to comprehensive training.
ALTERNATIVE: Combine cultural diversity training with training about the Agency's obligations under equal
opportunity law.
EXPECTED RESULTS: A more productive and harmonious work environment.

AFFIRMATIVE EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM FOR MINORITIES, WOMEN AND PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
PROGRAM ANALYSIS - EMPLOYEE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS
UNDESIRED CONDITION: Career development opportunities for secretarial and clerical positions
(predominantly Black women) are limited and/or nonexistent in many of the Headquarters' organizational
components; and managers are not trained to take advantage of the growth potential of their support pool
members.
DESIRED CONDITION: A wider range of career development opportunities for secretarial and clerical
support employees and their participation in career development programs.
ANALYSIS: Most reporting components at Headquarters do not address the scarcity of opportunity for
secretarial and clerical staff to develop beyond their present position regardless of the fact members of the
support staff may have excellent potential for career development of provided the opportunity.
PROBABLE BARRIER: Managers may not be aware of, or be receptive to taking advantage of the potential
for growth in their secretarial/clerical pool.
ALTERNATIVE: Refocus management's expectations of the support staff employee.
EXPECTED RESULTS: Improved morale as lower graded/dead-ended employees realize that performance
may be rewarded with expanded career opportunities and increased productivity of support staff.

ANNUAL AFFIRMATIVE EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENT REPORT
FISCAL YEAR 1993
SUMMARY ANALYSIS OF WORKFORCE
As of September 18, 1993, the total Headquarters GS/GM permanent full-time and part-
time population was 6,134. This included 3,192 (52%) women and 1,797 (29.3%)
minorities by race/national origin as shown in the trend data tables included in this Part.
The data tables depict the Headquarters population by race/national origin and gender
in all PATCO, all grade levels combined; as well as Professional and Administrative job
categories beginning September 1987 through 1993. The rate of representation of
women and specific minority groups in the civilian labor force (CLF) from both the 1980
and 1990 Census Availability Data are included to establish the benchmark against which
the Headquarters figures may be measured. Fiscal years 1987 through 1989 should be
compared to the 1980 civilian labor force (CLF) while 1990 through 1993 should be
compared to the 1990 CLF.
ALL PATCO/ALL GRADE TABLE: The total number of employees at Headquarters
increased by 100 (1.7%) from 6,034 to 6,134 by the close of FY 1993. While the number
of white men increased between FY 1992 and FY 1993, their percent of representation
remained stable at 40.72 percent. White women increased from 1,809 to 1,839 (+1.7%)
but, their percent within the work force remained at 29.98. Black men increased by 4
(+1.6%) raising their number from 256 to 260. Their percent within the workforce
remained stable at 4.24 percent. There was no net increase for Black women and their
percent of representation slightly decreased from 19.9 to 19.6. The number of Hispanic
men increased from 59 to 71 (+20.3%) increasing their percentage in the work force from
.98 to 1.2 percent. Hispanic women increased by 3 from 61 (1.01%) to 64 (1.04%)
representing a 4.9 percent increase. Asian men and women increased by 7 from 184 to
191 (+3.8%) (2 men and 5 women) however, their percent of representation increased
only slightly from 3.05 percent to 3.11 percent. American Indians increased by 3 raising
their percent of representation from .10 to .14.

ANNUAL AFFIRMATIVE EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENT REPORT
FISCAL YEAR 1993
SUMMARY ANALYSIS OF WORKFORCE (continued)
PROFESSIONAL: The total number of employees in Professional positions at the close
of FY 1993 was 2,189 a net increase of 33 employees. While there were some increases
in the number of women and minorities in professional positions during the past fiscal
year, their percent of representation in these positions at Headquarters are below their
rate of availability in the civilian labor force. In grades 13-15, with the exception of Asian
men, all women and minorities remain underrepresented.
ADMINISTRATIVE: The total number of employees in Administrative positions at the
close of FY 1993 was 3,138 up by 106 (+3.5%) from 3,032 at the close of FY 1992.
Minority women increased by 44 from 546 to 590 (+8.1%) a rate of 2.3 times greater than
the total Administrative population. However, they continue to be underrepresented in
grades 13 through 15 and conspicuously absent at the SES level. White women are
underrepresented in graded 5 through 12 and at the SES level. Black men have the
highest rate of availability in the civilian labor force at 8.7 percent yet, they are
underrepresented at all grade levels. The greatest increase in the number of Hispanic
men occurred in grades 13-15 (+9 from 18 to 27) raising their percent of representation
from .95 to 1.2 which was only .1 below parity. One additional Hispanic man is needed
at the SES level to reach parity. Asian men are below parity in all grade groups except
5-8. There was no net increase in the number of American Indian men. They remain
underrepresented in grades 9 and above.
In grade group 13-15, white women are well represented. Minority women are not. The
number of Black men in grades 13-15 increased from by 5 from 75 to 80. Hispanic
women increased by 9 raising their number from 10 to 19. Asian women increased by
3 from 22 to 25. There was no increase in the number of American Indians in this grade
group.

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PROGRAM PLAN FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND: The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), in its letter
to the EPA dated November 14, 1990, states that the "EEOC is taking a new approach
to Federal affirmative employment by combining its evaluation of programs for minorities,
women and people with disabilities." The report constrained in this portion of the Plan is
in response to the initiative.
The report covers the period October 1,1993, through September 30,1994, and contains
all of the elements required by the EEOC's Management Directive 713.
The goal of this report is to comply with current regulations for its preparation and convey
in a clear and analytical manner a full assessment of the current status of the Affirmative
Action Program for People with Disabilities and the outstanding EEO related problems
facing the EPA.

AGENCY INITIATIVES AND NOTEWORTHY ACCOMPLISHMENTS
In the space below you are invited to describe unique, creative
initiatives which your agency has undertaken during this fiscal
year and which have proven to be successful in improving employment
opportunities for individuals with handicaps. if more space is
necessary, additional pages may be appended.
Selections from these initiatives will be included in the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission's annual report to Congress and
may serve as examples of exemplary initiatives which can be
replicated by other Federal agencies.
EPA implemented an Academic Relations Program (ARP) in FY-91
to formalize and enhance ties with the academic community. A
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is signed between EPA and
the academic institution to ensure that a mutually beneficial
relationship is established. To date, over 25 MOUs have been
established with various institutions covering a range of
activities, e.g., student internships, cooperative education
and other employment opportunities, joint research projectsr
facuity research, staff appointments, etc. Under a MOU with
Wright State University (WSU), EPA hired four persons with
targeted disabilities for a 10-week internship during the
Summer of 1993. in addition, the Agency participated in a
career fair for students with disabilities and offered several
mock interview sessions. EPA will continue the WSU Summer
Internship Program for student with disabilities in the Summer
of 1994, and introduce the concept to other MOU institutions
that have large populations of disabled students.

UPDATE 94
PART D
1 UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
? WASHINGTON. D.C 20460
JUN 1
THE ADMINISTRATOR
MEMORANDUM
SUBJECT: Policy Statement on Prohibition of Sexual Harassment
TO: ALL EMPLOYEES
Our Agency is committed to maintaining a work environment
governed by responsible, efficient, and ethical management. To
Insure such a commitment, we all need to know the policies and
guidelines prohibiting sexual harassment. AnV1brtiaYlor«*;i°h||re
weaken our ability to lead and manage our people and programs are
unacceptable in our work place.
Sexual harassment is a prohibited personnel practice
contrary to merit system principles outlined in the Civil Service
SfOTAcTof 1978 and contrary to law outlined in Title VII of
the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Specifically, sexual harassment is
deliberate, or repeated, unsolicited verbal comments, gestures,
or physical contacts of a sexual nature which are unwelcomed.
Such sexual advances, requests fur sexual favors, and °ther
verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitute sexual
harassmentwhen: (1) they are made explicitly or implicitly a
condition of an individual's employment; (2) submission to, or
rejection of them, affects employment decisions impacting an
individual, such as promotion or work assignments; or (3) they
un~relsonabiy interfere with an individual's work performance or
create an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment.
Any behavior which undermines the integrity of the
employment relationship, impairs morale °^^r>terfe^^^i^ our
employee productivity is a violation of ethical conduct in our
Agency.
This memorandum constitutes the official policy regarding
sexual harassment at the Environmental Protection Agency. We all
sha^e in the responsibility to promote a climate free from sexual
harassment.

PART D UPDATE 92
AFFIRMATIVE EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM FOR MINORITIES, WOMEN AND PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
PLAN FOR THE PREVENTION OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT IN THE WORK PLACE
Harassment on the basis of sex is a violation of Section 703 of Title VII.1 Unwelcome sexual advances,
requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitute sexual
harassment with (1) submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition
of an individual's employment, (2) submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as
the basis for employment decisions affecting such individual, or (3) such conduct has the purpose or effect
of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or
offensive working environment.
To determine the extent of sexual harassment in the Federal workplace, in 1980, the Merit Systems
Protection Board (MSPB) conducted a survey covering the period May 1978 to May 1980. In that study,
42 percent of women workers and about 12 percent of men workers reported they had experienced some
form of sexual harassment. Based on the information obtained from that study, Federal agencies instituted
mandatory training programs designed to prevent sexual harassment in the work place. In 1988, the MSPB
published an update to their 1980, report which concludes that "...there is evidence of some positive
changes in Federal employee attitudes and perceptions regarding uninvited sexual attention. More
employees, both men and women, are aware that certain behaviors of a sexual nature can be both
unwanted and inappropriate in the workplace. In addition, most employees are now aware that sexual
harassment is contrary to established agency policy." Further, "....Despite these positive trends, however,
the overall bottom line did not change. Uninvited and unwanted sexual attention was experienced by almost
the identical proportion of the work force in 1987 as in 1980. Sexual harassment is still a pervasive, costly,
and systemic problem within the Federal workplace."
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission Management Directive 714, requires that agencies' include a
plan for the prevention of sexual harassment in the workplace in their Affirmative Employment Program
Plans. The plan for the prevention of sexual harassment must include, among other things, a provision for
training and other programs designed to inform supervisors, managers and other agency personnel of their
responsibilities to maintain a workplace free of sexual harassment.
Clearly, it is the legal and ethical responsibility of all EPA employees to refrain from sexually harassing
behavior in the workplace. Under federal regulations, managers and supervisors bear responsibility for
prevention of sexual harassment and for the conduct of their employees who violate these regulations. All
operating components will be held accountable for informing their employees of what behavior constitutes
intolerable conduct.
At present, efforts to educate supervisors and managers regarding their responsibility for ensuring a work
place free of sexual harassment are inconsistent. In addition, there is a need to provide training to all
Agency personnel regarding what constitutes sexually harassing behavior, the ramifications of engaging in,
promoting, or condoning such behavior, and the avenues through which complaints of sexually harassing
behavior may be addressed. To reach the goal of an organizational environment in which individuals may
function with dignity and professionalism, we must be innovative in our approach to dealing with this critical
issue. The specific actions beginning on the next page constitute the EPA's Plan for achieving this objective.
The principles involved here continue to apply to race, color, religion or national origin.

Although sexual harassment prevention is not included in the initial orientation of new employees, the EPA
has made the training available to all employees through courses offered by the EPA Training Institute.
While not all managers and supervisors have received training in the prevention of sexual harassment, there
are many who have. Training has been provided through various sources - EPA Institute, private
contractors, and EPA EEO officials have conducted training for supervisors, managers, and employees when
requested. A video tape was developed that features the Deputy Administrator who emphasized the EPA's
policies on preventing instances of sexually harassing behaviors. The video is used in conjuction with sexual
