                   U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
                                    AGENCY WIDE

This summary presents a -work force profile for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 's
permanent fall-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 (90.3%)
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. I 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.

*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 76.6% or 6,578 employees of EPA's Professional work force
were at grades GS/GM 13-15. In this grade grouping, minorities held 17.9% of the positions and
women held 33.3%. Among minorities, Blacks held 7.1% of the positions, Hispanics 4.0%, Asians
6.4%, and American Indians 0.52%.

ADMINISTRATIVE POSITIONS: EPA had 7,494 employees in the Administrative job
category, comprising 42.1% 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 33 Hispanics in the Environmental Protection Specialist series; 1
Asian in the Personnel Management  Specialist series; 5 Hispanics and 4 Asians in the General
Administration series; 4 Hispanics and 72 women in the Computer Specialist series; 11 Hispanics
and 56 women in the Program Manager series; 27 Hispanics, 4 Asians and 1 American Indian in the
Management Analyst series; 1 Hispanic in the Public Affairs series; and 1 Asian and 57 women in
the Criminal Investigator series.

There were no Asian men or American Indian men in the 028 series; no American Indian women in
the 340 series; no American Indian men in the 501 series; no American Indian men in the 1035
series; and no Asian men in the 1811 series.

 ^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 64.3% or 4,821 employees of EPA's Administrative
work force were at grades GS/GM 13-15. Of this grade group, minorities held 25.8% of the
positions and women held 51.8%. Among minorities, Blacks held 18.1% of the positions,
Hispanics 3.6%, Asians 3.3%, and American Indians 0.75%.

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 March 31, 2001, 171 EPA employees, or 0.96%, had targeted disabilities; therefore, this
group was under represented.

CHANGE FROM SEPTEMBER 30,1997, TO MARCH 31,2001: The reference period of
September 30, 1997 to March 31,  2001 is used for the change analysis because it reflects  the time
period from the beginning of the Diversity Action Plan Initiative.

EPA had a net increase of 2.0% or 364 employees in its total work force (from 17,446 to 17,810).
The representation of minorities increased from 26.7% to 29.0%, however, the representation of
women increased from 49.4% to 50.2%.  There was a net increase of 190 Blacks, 106 Hispanics,
 171  Asians, 40 American Indians, and 324 women.

In Professional occupations, there was an increase of 1.8% or 154 employees (from 8,438 to 8,592).
Minority representation increased from 18.7% to 20.4%, and the representation of women increased
from 34.3% to 35.6%. There was a net increase of 14 Blacks, 39 Hispanics, 101 Asians, 22
American Indians, and 165 women.

In Administrative occupations, there was an increase of 8.4% or 626 employees (from 6,868 to
7,494). Minority representation increased from 27.1% to 31.7% and the representation of women
increased from 56.2% to 58.6%. There was a net increase of 347 Blacks, 80 Hispanics, 62 Asians,
21 American Indians, and 532 women.

At the GS/GM-13 level, there was an increase of 16.4% or 1068 employees (from 5,445 to 6,513).
Minority representation increased from 21.4% to 24.8% and the representation of women  increased
                                           1.6

-------
from 42.0% to 43.4%. There was a net increase of 234 Blacks, 64 Hispanics, 131 Asians, 23
American Indians, and 541 women.

At the GS/GM-14 level, there was an increase of 11.6% or 353 employees (from 2,692 to 3,045).
Minority representation increased from 13.9% to 18.9% and the representation of women increased
from 37.4% to 40.5%. There was a net increase of 95 Blacks, 49 Hispanics, 47 Asians, and 10
American Indians, and 226 women.

At the GS/GM-15 level, there was an increase of 17.7% or 325 employees (from 1,516 to 1,841).
Minority representation increased from 10.3% to 12.6% and the representation of women increased
from 30.6% to 34.2%. There was a net increase of 48 Blacks, 17 Hispanics, 8 Asians, 3 American
Indians, and 166 women.

At the SES level there was an increase of 1.5% or 4 employees (from 260 to 264).  Minority
representation increased from 8.8% to 14.8% and the representation of women increased from
26.9% to 33.0%.  There was a net increase of 5 Blacks, 7 Hispanics,-6 Asians, and  17 women, while
American Indians decreased by 2.

There was a decrease of 22 employees (from 1,592 to 1,570) in supervisory and managerial
positions. However, minority representation increased from 13.2% to 15.2% and women increased
from 34.1% to 35.4%. There was a net increase of 13 Blacks, 12 Hispanics, 6 Asians, 13 women,
while American Indians decreased by 2.

Employees with targeted disabilities had a net increase of 23 (from 148 to  171).  Their
representation in the total work force increased from 0.83% to 0.96%.

                   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 (87.8%) 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.
OVERVIEW: As of March 31,2001, there were
485 employees in AO.  Minorities occupied
38.1% of AO's positions, while women occupied
63.5%.  Blacks held 32.8% of AO's positions,
Hispanics 2.1%, Asians 2.9%, American Indians
0.41%, and Persons with Targeted Disabilities
1.3%. American Indian men were absent from
the work force. Chart 1 shows the percent
distribution of the protected groups of AO's total
work force.

 This summary presents a work force profile for the Office of Air and Radiation (OAR) '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 (89.1%) of
 OAR'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.
 OVERVIEW: As of March 31,2001 , there
 were 1,334 employees in the OAR. Minorities
 occupied 21.0% of OAR's positions while
 women occupied 45.1%. Blacks held 12.8% of
 OAR's positions, Hispanics 3.1%, Asians 4.6%,
 American Indians 0.60% and Persons with
 Targeted Disabilities 0.67%. Chart 1 shows the
 percent distribution of the protected groups of

          OFFICE OF ADMINISTRATION AND RESOURCES MANAGEMENT

 This summary presents a work force profile for the Office of Administration and Resources
 Management's (OARM) permanent full-time and part-time employees, and addresses the existence
 rfunder 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 (88.4%) of OARM'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/GM 13-15 and SES
positions are provided for information only.

This summary presents a -work force profile for the Office of Enforcement and Compliance
Assurance (OECA) '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 (92.6%) of OECA'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.
OVERVIEW: As of March 31,2001, there
were 869 employees in OECA. Minorities
occupied 26.9% of the positions while
women occupied 48.7%.  Blacks held 17.8%
of the positions, Hispanics 5.0%, Asians
3.8%, American Indians 0.35%, and Persons
with Targeted Disabilities 0.46%. Chart 1

This summary presents a work force profile for the Office of General Counsel's (OGC) 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 (91.6%) of
OGC'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.

STATUS OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES: In its Management Directive 713, the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission 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).

There were no employees in OGC with targeted disabilities, therefore, this group was under
represented.

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

 Further analysis by grade level shows that 56.4% or 70 employees of OIG's Administrative work

 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).

         OFFICE OF PREVENTION. PESTICIDES & TOXIC SUBSTANCES

This summary presents a work force profile for the Office of Prevention, Pesticides & Toxic
Substances (OPPTS) 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 (96.1%) of OPPTS'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/GM 13-15 and SES
positions are provided for information only.

                   U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
              OFFICE OF SOLID WASTE AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE

This summary presents a -work force profile for the Office of Solid Waste and Emergency
Response's (OSWER) 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 (94.0%) of OSWER'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.

This summary presents a -work force profile for the Office of Water (OW) permanent fiill-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 (93.8%) ofOW'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. I 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.

 Asians 3.5%. There were no Hispanic men or American Indians in this grade group.

 STATUS OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES:  In its Management Directive 713, the Equal
 Employment Opportunity Commission 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).

772/5 summary presents a work force profile for Region II's permanent full-time andpart-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.

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/GM 13-15 and SES
positions are provided for information only.

 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 (88.5%) 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.

 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

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

 Further analysis by grade level shows that 51.7% or 277 employees of Region V's Administrative
 work force were at grades GS/GM 13-15.  Of this grade group, minorities held 24.2% of the
 positions and women held 44.0%. Among minorities, Blacks held 15.9% of the positions,
 Hispanics 2.5%, Asians 4.7%, and American Indians  1.1%.  There were no American Indian women
 in this grade group.

 STATUS OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES: In its 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 March 31,2001,26 Region V employees or 2.0% had targeted disabilities; therefore, this
 group was under represented.

This summary presents a -work force profile for Region VI'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 (90.5%) of Region VI'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.

                  U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
                                    REGION VIII

This summary presents a -work force profile for Region VIII"s permanentfull-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 (92.5%) of Region VIII'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.

This summary presents a work force 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 (91.5%) 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.

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.
