    The Honorable Alan K. Campbell

      Management

    Dear Mr. Campbell:

          Subject: Lpevelopment of An Equal Employment
                    Opportunity Management Information
                    Sys tem FPCD-80-39)
                          J
          On September 3, 1976, we reported to the Chairman,
    Civil Service Commission (CSC), on the results of a survey
    of the management information needs of the equal employment
    opportunity (EEO) program of the Federal Government
    (B-178929). The report emphasized the importance of having
    an integrated Federal agency EEC management information and
    evaluation system. A common problem we had observed in eval-
    uating various aspects of Federal EEG programs for a number
    of years had been the absence of complete, accurate, and cur-
    rent data needed to identify (1) the extent, nature, and
    causes of the Government's EEO problems and (2) the actions
    which could ce taken realistically to remedy them.

          We have recently followed up on our earlier report to
    determine whether the problems identified still exist. Ba-
    sicaily, two elements of an integrated system are involved;
  L one system collects and maintains personnel data on current
     employees--the central personnel data file (CPDF)--and
     another collects and maintains data on applicants for Fed-
     ral employment. A large quantity of data is available in
     the CPDF which can be used to evaluate and monitor agency
     EEO progress and problems. The data elements still need re-
     fining, and the current system design has limited, to some
     extent, the usefulness of the available data. But we be-
     lieve that, when the redesigned CPOF is implemented in
     January 1982, these remaining problems will be resolved.
     With respect to the data on job applicants, we noted that
     a system was implemented in December 1979, but it is sti
     incomplete.
