At the request of your office, we are providing BIA's data on (1) end-of-fiscal- year staffing, (2) the number of vacant positions in BIA on various dates, (3) occupations that have the highest number of vacant positions, and (4) the number of vacant positions in law enforcement and social services. The enclosed data were taken from (1) readily available documents' produced from a computerized database containing information on BIA's personnel and positions and (2) BIA's annual budget justifications. BIA management uses the computerized data system to generate a variety of recurring reports on the agency's staffing, such as organization rosters and reports on onboard staffing levels and average grade levels. The system also contains data on vacant positions. A position is considered vacant when a new position is approved but not yet filled or an individual vacates an existing position. The computerized system treats the position as vacant until filled or an action is taken specifically to purge the vacancy from the system. In summary, BIA's budget data show that the agency had about 14,600 and 13,700 employees on board at the end of fiscal years 1993 and 1994, respectively. As of June 15, 1995, the most recent data available in the computerized database 'Because the information you requested was not available from the same source documents, some data are presented at different points in time.
