This summary presents a workforce profile for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 's
permanent full-time and part-time employees, and addresses the existence of under representation
among protected groups. For this analysis, the protected groups are Blacks, Hispanics, Asians,
American Indians, women, and Persons with Targeted Disabilities. The analysis concentrates on
the Professional and Administrative occupations because they represent the vast majority (90.2%)
of EPA's workforce. In the analysis, the percentages are rounded to one decimal place except
when the percentage is less than 1 percent.

Federal agencies are required to develop and implement affirmative employment programs to
eliminate under representation of minorities, women, and persons with disabilities in the Federal
workforce. . This is done pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended;
Executive Order 11478, as amended by Executive Order 12106; Section 501 of the Rehabilitation
Act of 1973, as amended; and Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1978.

*Parity is achieved when the workforce representation of a protected group is equal to the group's
percentage of the relevant civilian labor force of a specific occupational series or occupational category.

An analysis by grade level shows that 76.2% or 6,503 employees of EPA's Professional work force
were at grades GS/GM 13-15. In this grade grouping, minorities held 17.6% of the positions and
women held 33.1%. Among minorities, Blacks held 7.1% of the positions, Hispanics 3.8%, Asians
6.2%, and American Indians 0.50%.

ADMINISTRATIVE POSITIONS: EPA had 7,414 employees in the Administrative job
category, comprising 41.9% of its total work force. This analysis includes all the most populous
(series with 100 or more employees) Administrative occupations in EPA.  Table 2 shows the
protected groups in those series.  Eight of the ten show under representation which can be
eliminated with the addition of 37 Hispanics in the Environmental Protection Specialist series; 2
Asians hi the Personnel Management Specialist series; 8 Hispanics, 4 Asians and 1 American Indian
in the General Administration series; 5 Hispanics and 67 women in the Computer Specialist series;
1 Black, 10 Hispanics, 1 Asian, 1 American Indian, and 63 women in the Program Manager series;
27 Hispanics, 8 Asians and 1 American Indian in the Management Analyst series; 2 Hispanics in the
Public Affairs series; and 1 Hispanic, 2 Asians, 1 American Indian and 58 women in the Criminal

*Parity is achieved when the workforce representation of a protected group is equal to the group's
percentage of the relevant civilian labor force of a specific occupational series or occupational category.

Further analysis by grade level shows that 63.6% or 4,713 employees of EPA's Administrative
work force were at grades GS/GM 13-15. Of this grade group, minorities held 24.9% of the
positions and women held 51.9%. Among minorities, Blacks held 17.5% of the positions,

STATUS OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES: In Management Directive 713, the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) recommends that Federal agencies use 5.95% as a
benchmark to determine under representation for persons with targeted disabilities. Targeted
disabilities are deafness, vision impairments, missing extremities, partial and complete paralysis,
convulsive disorder, mental retardation and illness, and distortion of limbs and/or spine (identified
from OPM Standard Form 256, Self-Identification of Handicap).

As of September 30, 2000,163 EPA employees, or 0.92%, had targeted disabilities; therefore, this
group was under represented.

CHANGE FROM SEPTEMBER 30,1997, TO SEPTEMBER 30,2000:  The reference period
of September 30, 1997 to September 30, 2000 is used for the change analysis because it reflects the
time period from the beginning of the Diversity Action Plan Initiative.

Minority representation increased from 10.3% to 11.7% and the representation of women increased
from 30.6% to 34.3%.  There was a net increase of 39 Blacks, 9 Hispanics, 6 Asians, 1 American
Indian, and 157  women.

At the SES level there was an increase of 7.8% or 22 employees (from 260 to 282).  Minority
representation increased from 8.8% to 14.9% and the representation of women increased from
26.9% to 30.5%. There was a net increase of 7 Blacks, 9 Hispanics, 4 Asians, and 16 women, while

U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
OFFICE OF THE ADMINISTRATOR
This summary presents a workforce profile for the Office of the Administrator's (AO) permanent
full-time and part-time employees, and addresses the existence of under representation among
protected groups. For this analysis, the protected groups are Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, American
Indians, women, and Persons with Targeted Disabilities. The analysis concentrates on the
Professional and Administrative occupations because they represent the vast majority (88.5%) of
AO's workforce. In the analysis, the percentages are rounded to one decimal place except when
the percentage is less than 1 percent.

Federal agencies are required to develop and implement affirmative employment programs to
eliminate under representation of minorities, women, and persons with disabilities in the Federal
workforce. This is done pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended;
Executive Order 11478, as amended by Executive Order 12106; Section 105 of the Rehabilitation
Act of 1973, as amended; and Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1978.

Numerical goals are set when a workforce analysis show the existence of under representation of
individual protected groups for each job category or major occupation. The Agency does not set
goals by grade levels or SES positions. The statistics for grade levels GS/GM13-15 and SES
positions are provided for information only.

U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
OFFICE OF THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER

This summary presents a workforce profile for the Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) 's
permanent full-time and part-time employees, and addresses the existence of under representation
among protected groups. For this analysis, the protected groups are Blacks, Hispanics, Asians,
American Indians, women, and Persons with Targeted Disabilities. The analysis concentrates on
the Professional and Administrative occupations because they represent the vast majority (84.8%)
of OCFO's workforce. In the analysis, the percentages are rounded to one decimal place except
when the percentage is less than 1 percent.

Federal agencies are required to develop and implement affirmative employment programs to
eliminate under representation of minorities, women, and persons with disabilities in the Federal
workforce. This is done pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended;
Executive Order 11478, as amended by Executive Order 12106; Section 501 of the Rehabilitation
Act of 1973, as amended; and Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1978.

OFFICE OF ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION

This summary presents a -workforce profile for the Office of Environmental Information's (OEI)
permanent full-time and part-time employees, and addresses the existence of under representation
among protected groups. For this analysis, the protected groups are Blacks, Hispanics, Asians,
American Indians, -women, and Persons with Targeted Disabilities. The analysis concentrates on
the Professional and Administrative occupations because they represent the vast majority (94.5%)
of OEI's -workforce. In the analysis, the percentages are rounded to one decimal place except
-when the percentage is less than 1 percent.

Federal agencies are required to develop and implement affirmative employment programs to
eliminate under representation of minorities, -women, and persons -with disabilities in the Federal
-workforce. This is done pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended;
Executive Order 11478, as amended by Executive Order 12106; Section 105 of the Rehabilitation
Act of 1973, as amended; and Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1978.

Numerical goals are set -when a -workforce analysis show the existence of under representation of
individual protected groups for each job category or major occupation. The Agency does not set
goals by grade levels or SES positions. The statistics for grade levels GS/GM13-15 and SES
positions are provided for information only.

U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
OFFICE OF THE INSPECTOR GENERAL

This summary presents a workforce profile for the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) 's
permanent full-time and part-time employees, and addresses the existence of under representation
among protected groups. For this analysis, the protected groups are Blacks, Hispanics, Asians,
American Indians, women, and Persons with Targeted Disabilities. The analysis concentrates on
the Professional and Administrative occupations because they represent the vast majority (93.1%)
of OIG's workforce. In the analysis, the percentages are rounded to one decimal place except
when the percentage is less than 1 percent.

Federal agencies are required to develop and implement affirmative employment programs to
eliminate under representation of minorities, women, and persons with disabilities in the Federal
workforce. This is done pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended;
Executive Order 11478, as amended by Executive Order 12106; Section 501 of the Rehabilitation
Act of 1973, as amended; and Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1978.

Numerical goals are set when a workforce analysis shows the existence of under representation of
individual protected groups for each job category or major occupation. The Agency does not set
goals by grade levels or SES positions. The statistics for grade levels GS/GM13-15 and SES
positions are provided for information only.

U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
REGION II

This summary presents a work force profile for Region II 's permanent full-time and part-time
employees, and addresses the existence of under representation among protected groups. For this
analysis, the protected groups are Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, American Indians, women, and
Persons with Targeted Disabilities. The analysis concentrates on the Professional and
Administrative occupations because they represent the vast majority (87.8%) of the Region 's work
force. In the analysis, the percentages are rounded to one decimal place except when the
percentage is less than 1 percent.

Federal agencies are required to develop and implement affirmative employment programs to
eliminate under representation of minorities, women, and persons with disabilities in the Federal
workforce. This is done pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended;
Executive Order 11478, as amended by Executive Order 12106; Section 501 of the Rehabilitation
Act of 1973, as amended; and Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1978.

REGION IV

This summary presents a work force profile for Region IV's permanent full-time and part-time
employees and addresses the existence of under representation among protected groups. For this
analysis, the protected groups are Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, American Indians, women, and
Persons with Targeted Disabilities. The analysis concentrates on the Professional and
Administrative occupations because they represent the vast majority (88.2%) of Region IV's work
force. In the analysis, the percentages are rounded to one decimal place except when the
percentage is less than 1 percent.

Federal agencies are required to develop and implement affirmative employment programs to
eliminate under representation of minorities, women, and persons with disabilities in the Federal
workforce. This is done pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended;
Executive Order 11478, as amended by Executive Order 12106; Section 501 of the Rehabilitation
Act of 1973, as amended; and Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1978.

Numerical goals are set when a workforce analysis shows the existence of under representation of
individual protected groups for each job category or major occupation. The Agency does not set
goals by grade levels or SES positions. The statistics for grade levels GS/GM13-15 and SES
positions are provided for information only.
OVERVIEW: As of September 30, 2000, there

U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
REGION IX

772/5 summary presents a workforce profile for Region IX"s permanent full-time and part-time
employees, and addresses the existence of under representation among protected groups. For
this analysis, the protected groups are Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, American Indians, women, and
Persons with Targeted Disabilities. The analysis concentrates on the Professional and
Administrative occupations because they represent the vast majority (91.8%) of Region IX's
workforce. In the analysis, the percentages are rounded to one decimal place except when the
percentage is less than 1 percent.

Federal agencies are required to develop and implement affirmative employment programs to
eliminate under representation of minorities, women, and persons with disabilities in the Federal
workforce. This is done pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended;
Executive Order 11478, as amended by Executive Order 12106; Section 501 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended; and Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1978.

STATUS OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES: In its Management Directive 713, the U.S.
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) recommends that Federal agencies use
5.95% as a benchmark to determine under representation for persons with targeted disabilities.
Targeted disabilities are deafness, vision impairments, missing extremities, partial and complete
paralysis, convulsive disorder, mental retardation and illness, and distortion of limbs and/or
spine (identifiedfrom OPM Standard Form 256, Self-Identification of Handicap).

As of September 30, 2000,4 of Region X employees, or 0.64%, had targeted disabilities;
therefore, this groups was under represented.

CHANGE FROM SEPTEMBER 30,1997, TO SEPTEMBER 30,2000: The reference
period of September 30, 1997 to September 30, 2000 is used for the change analysis because it
reflects the time period from the beginning of the Diversity Action Plan Initiative.
