PART VII
AGENCY PROFILES

What follows are individual profiles of Cabinet level,(1) mid-size, small, and Defense Department agencies with a work force of 500 or more employees. These Profiles of Selected Indicators were created using annual accomplishment reports on minorities, women, and persons with disabilities, and the Civilian Personnel Data File (CPDF), which is maintained by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). Selected discrimination complaint processing data submitted by each agency to the EEOC was also used in creating each profile.

The Profiles of Selected Indicators are a comparison between FY 2001 and FY 2002 data. Each agency's profile highlights the participation by race, national origin, gender, and disability(2) of employees in its work force and in the agency's top major occupations. The profiles offer data concerning the outcome of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) activities at the pre-complaint and complaint stages of the discrimination complaint process. In the area of discrimination complaint processing, each narrative profile also contains the number of complaints filed, complainants, complaints closed, merit decisions, findings of discrimination, and settlements. Also included are the total amounts of money paid by the agency for corrective actions and settlements, total amounts awarded in specific categories, and the average time it took during for an agency to process complaints.

Immediately following the profile of each agency is an EEO Indicators table containing selected data on the agency's performance for FY 2002. The table highlights discrimination complaint processing activities for each agency and reflects the percentage change in the data provided in FY 2001 and the data provided in FY 2002.(3)

NOTE: The EEOC relies on each agency to provide accurate and reliable data for its complaint processing program. Although the EEOC reviews and analyzes the data submitted, each agency remains ultimately responsible for the accuracy of its own data. Many agencies continue to ignore the Office of Management and Budget's Policy Directive 15 and Circular A-130 when submitting data to the EEOC. As a result, certain discrepancies may appear in the following profiles that the EEOC could not reconcile.(4)

1. Because of its size and appointing authority, the U.S. Postal Service was included in the Cabinet level agency category.

2. Estimated availability for people with targeted disabilities is based on 1990 census data.

3. This table does not reflect counseling which occurred or settlements reached through agency ADR efforts at the pre-complaint stage.

4. For example, some agencies provided data on their "total work force" which does not correspond with data on the "permanent work force" of the agency counted by the OPM (i.e., some agencies reported numbers indicating that their "total work force" was smaller than the OPM-counted "permanent work force" for that agency).
