Sources Used to Make Estimate
The following sources were used to develop estimates of the types of categories of staff that should be considered in the development of agency streamlining efforts. Because agencies use different Education approaches to the use of personnel classification categories, these numbers are not definitive sources on which to base staffing reductions. Also, because of differences in definitions, the numbers included in defining management control and headquarters can vary substantially. For example, some agencies would include certain types of contractors; others would not.
Supervisors, Managers, and Senior Executives
These figures were taken from Office of Personnel Management reports. They are the sum of supervisors and managers as of March 1993 and allocations of Senior Executives as of September 1990.
Personnel Administrators
This refers to the number of personnel by agency in the 200 series less military personnel specialists (series 204 and 205). The data were published in OPM publication MW-56-22 dated September 30, 1991. The numbers were adjusted to exclude supervisors based on each agency's supervisor to nonsupervisor ratio (derived from OPM reports).
Budget Staff
These figures represent the number of personnel by agency in the 560 and 561 series published in OPM publication MW-56-22 dated September 30, 1991. The numbers were adjusted to exclude supervisors based on each agency's supervisor to nonsupervisor ratio. For this reason, these numbers are lower than the 17,550 reported in the Mission- Driven, Results-Oriented Budgeting report.
Financial Management, Accountants, and Auditors
This includes the number of personnel by agency in the 500 series less budget staff (560s and 561s) and tax personnel (512s, 526s, 545s, 570s, 592s,and 593s) published in OPM publication MW-56-22 dated September 30, 1991. The numbers were adjusted to exclude supervisors based on each agency's supervisor to nonsupervisor ratio. This estimate is lower than the figure of 120,000 reported in the Improving Financial Management report because that report includes budget specialists, supervisors, and some management and budget analysts' staff in series 343.
Acquisition Specialists
This refers to the number of personnel in the 1101, 1102, 1103, 1105, 1106, 1150, and 1910 series from OPM publication MW-56-22 dated September 30, 1991. The numbers were adjusted to exclude supervisors based on each agency's supervisor to nonsupervisor ratio. This estimate is lower than the figure of 142,000 reported in the Reinventing Federal Procurement report because that report includes other logistics functions as well as supervisors.
Headquarters Personnel
Headquarters personnel are the personnel constituting headquarters staff as reported to the National Performance Review by the agencies; a proxy was used for Department of the Treasury and "Other." The proxy is the number of personnel by agency in the Washington, D.C., area. The numbers were reduced by 28.5 percent to account for duplication of headquarters personnel who might also be supervisors or specialists. The 28.5 percent factor is the ratio of supervisors and specialists to total civilians in the Washington, D.C., area.
Total Management Control Staff
This figure represents the number of management control personnel, by agency. It is the sum of all previous columns, and should be the primary target for streamlining reductions.
