July 24, 1976. 7 pp. + appendix (3 ju.). Report to James T. McIntyre, Jr., Director, Office of Management and judqe-: by H.L. Krieger, Director, federal Perscnel and Compensat icn Div. Issue Area: Personnel Management and Ccmpensaticn 4300). Cortact: Federal Personnel and Co'ipensation Div. Budqet Function: General Government: Central Fersonrel Management (805), Organization Concerned: Environmental Erctection Agency; Department of the Air rorce; United States Information A.ency; Internal Revenue Service; National Aeronautics and apace Administration. Conqresslonal Relevance- House Committee on Post Office and Civil 3ervi:e. Authority: CMB Bullstin 77-9. CMB Circular A-11. The Office of hanagement and Eud§it (CMB) has cirected Federal aqencies to use work measur set syatems, when available, in preparing their fiscal year 1979 Zero Ease BudgEt (ZBB) submissions. Without reliable work measurement systems, budqet reviewers cannot review, evaluate, and set 2EE priorities &rom well-supported staffing requirements. Therefore, &9encies may be employing toc many or too few employees to suifcrt their missions. A review was conducted of five agencies which CMB desiqnated as having the best ZBB suhmissicrs--the Envircnmentai Protection Agency, the Aray Corps cf Engineers, the United States Information Aqency, the International Bev' nue Service, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administratic. Findinqs/Conclusions: The agencies revieued varied considerably in their use of work measurement systems tc deterfine staffing requirements. The qeneral attitude amcrg these agencies was that the use of work measurement systems to support staffing requirements is not mandatory. They have not received any spe'-ific guidance from CMB idsntifyiig those areas which are susceptible to work measurement. Since they do not believe that establishment of work measurement systems would be ccst effective, these agencies generally dc not have any immediate plans to develop such systems. Recommendations: Tte Director c: QMB should: identify areas where work seastxement systeaz are applicablc and cost effective and enfcrce their use, clearly specify the functions Dr elements of agency responsitilities where use of work measurement systems tc sufort staffing requirements is optional, provide agencies with assistance in developinq work measurement aystems ard enforce their use as planninq tools, and monitor the reliatility of agency wcrk measurement systems.
