Review of Individual Position and Personnel Actions:
There is no current backlog of position and personnel actions.
Future actions will be given prompt attention, Extension of the survey
program, it is hoped, will keep individual actions at a minimum, and
provide correspondingly increased Staff time for other activities. It
is estimated that approximately 1,000 actions will be reviewed.
D. Table of Organization Review and Distribution:
Approximately 40 TIC requests are in process of review and
approval. Assuming continuance of the current rate of requests, this
category will continue to occupy a substantial portion of Staff time.
At the current rate.. T/O requests covering approximately posi-
tions will be processed.
E. Special Studies and Staff Services:
Six major studies are in various stages of completion. Such
studies require a major portion of Staff time, particularly at the
Branch and Division Chief level, in view of the numerous policy questions
involved and the resolution of numerous problems by conferences and task
forces. It is anticipated that such studies will continue to occupy a
substantial portion of Staff time. Approximately ten major, studies will
be conducted, based on current activity..
F. Other Objectives:
During the current year continuing effort will be made to
improve the existing compensation and position evaluation system in the
Agency. Improvements wil.1 utilize information and experience gained
from our research study of compensation systems elsewhere in government
and industry, from the test application of the "Staffing Complement-
Development Complement Flexible T/0' system, in CO IO, and from position
surveys and staff studies which we have conducted or are conducting.
Our primary objectives are: (1) To. provide equitable compensation
sufficient to attract and retain individuals of the types and occupy-
tions required by the mission of the Agency, (2) To provide sufficient
flexibility to facilitate the personnel management functions of supervisory
operating personnel, with particular reference to rotation problems, (3)
To provide sound justification for classification levels and consequent
expenditure of funds for personal services, (4) To provide an adequate
salary control system, and (5) To provide a sound basis for the efficient
utilization of personnel and for the establishment of emergency require-
ments, through occupational analysis of positions.
SECTION 3. Program Outlook for Budget Year (1 July 1957 - 30 June 1958)

Surveys during the budget year will be directed toward
the goal of achieving complete coverage of Agency positions.. There-
after, we propose to establish a periodic, possibly annual, review of
all positions in the Agency, to insure the maintenance of current job
information on all positions. As in the past, all practical simplified
methods will be used to achieve this goal, including modification of
existing descriptions, the use of standard position descriptions
where applicable, the use of the identical additional technique, etc.
Surveys are expected to cover approximately positions. 25X9A2
B. Position and Qualification Standards Program Plans:
The standards program will be directed toward the goal
of achieving relatively complete coverage of all Agency positions.
Standards will continue to be written as concise, flexible and
comprehensive as possible, in order to provide ease of application
as well as equity. It is anticipated that ten to 15 position stand-
ards and 30 interim qualification standards will be developed, Revi-
sions of existing standards will continue,
C. Individual Position and Personnel Action Program Plans:
During the budget year, individual position and per-
sonnel actions will be processed as promptly as possible. The increas-
ing coverage of positions by surveys will, it is hoped, reduce the
volume of such actions and provide correspondingly increased Staff
time for other activities, It is estimated that approximately 1,000
actions will be reviewed,
D. Table of Organization Review and Distribution Program
Plans:
This major category of work will continue to require
attention of the Division, in order to maintain current information
on organization and staffing. Complete coverage of Agency positions
with position descriptions should simplify the processing of T/0
changes,since relationships to previous organizations will be clearer?
At the current rate, T/O requests covering approximately posi- 25X9A2
tions will be processed,
E. Special Studies and Staff Services Program Plans:
Special studies will undoubtedly be required to improve
the Agency Position Evaluation and Compensation Program, Emphasis
will continue to be in the direction of achieving greater equity and
flexibility, combined with sound justification of actions and adequate
salary control. Other studies cannot be anticipated, but presumably
will include further revision or refinement of the supergrade evalua-
tion system, the competitive promotion and assignment system, Exec-
utive Pay plans, wage administration, and pay for specialized scientific
and professional positions, in view of the continuing nature of the
