NPIC Personnel Ceiling and Recruitment Effort Study
1. a. In consideration of the probable authorized personnel ceiling
strength for FY 1966 and FY 1967 and, in consideration of the
progress of the personnel recruitment effort directed toward
satisfying ceiling requirements for specific skills -
b. Will there be, at critical dates, shortages of personnel haying
needed skills, and - is it necessary or desirable to offer employ-
ment on a provisional clearance basis to some number of employee
candidates known to have these skills?
c. If a shortfall is indicated, how many people at what times should
be offered provisional clearance employment to meet the require-
ment?
Data Concerning the Subject:
1. NPIC memo of 22 September 1965 (Attachment 1) states a requirement
for ^ EOD's per month for EOD's over the period
October 1965 June 1967 (through FY 1967). This estimate predicated
on an authorized personnel ceiling for FY 1967 of =employees and
also considers estimated attrition during this period.
2. The present authorized ceiling for FY 1966 is
0
3. The tentative authorized ceiling for FY 1967 is
4. On the basis of the tentatively approved FY 1967 ceiling of =rather
than the=figure cited in the NPIC memo, a recom.putation of the
monthly EOD requirements, considering attritions, is estimated at
=persons.
5. NPIC memo of 22 September reports an on-duty strength of =at that
time. The NPIC Task Force report of 8 December (Attachment 2) cites
an on-duty strength of= at 30 November.

6. At 27 December the on-duty strength reached= This is an increase
25X9
in on-duty strength at an average rate of=EOD's per month.

7. The NPIC Task Force Report dated 21 December 1965 (Attachment 3)
notes that at 17 December 1965 there were =applicants in process.

These applicants are considered to have the skills required. An
analysis of this report (Attachment 4) indicates that a potential
maximum of =applicants could EOD by 1 May 1966 (5 months) or at
the rate of=EOD's per month. This estimate does not consider
losses by applicant rejection of employment, security or medical
rejections. Neither does it anticipate any probable additional EOD's
of candidates interviewed after 17 December. Depending upon the
success of the recruitment effort through the end of March 1966
but using the experience factor, it is possible that an additional=
to ^persons could EOD in the May - June period. This estimate
considers a processing time of from 90 to 120 days including full
security clearance. At this rate of gain a potential maximum on-duty
strength of about I (could be reached by 30 June 1966 (Attachment 5).
1. On the basis of information at hand, using an experience factor in
the personnel recruitment and clearance process, a projection of
the probably EOD rate over the period January June 1966 indicates
that the FY 1966 ceiling authorization of=will not be reached
until May 1966.

2. By February 1966 on-duty strength should approximate ^ per cent 25X9
of ceiling authorization, by March -=per cent, by April -^ per cent. 25X9
25X9
3. To reach the authorized FY 1966 and FY 1967 ceilings at earlier dates,
the rate of EOD's must be accelerated by employing some number of
applicants on a provisional clearance basis.
4. Prior to 1 July 1966 on-duty strength will probably exceed the FY 1966
authorized ceiling. In order to reach the FY 1967 authorized ceiling
at the earliest possible date, accelerated recruitment will probably
be continued even though NPIC will be over ceiling during the month
of June .

5. The Office of Personnel and the NPIC Task Force must closely
follow the recruitment processing and EOD rate in order to avoid
the effort and cost of an unnecessary accelerated recruitment
program.
1. From the files of applicants having the most critical skills and
using appropriate criteria, the Task Force should select ^em.ployee
candidates for provisional clearance. This would provide for an
earlier and larger input to NPIC immediate critical requirements
than is presently anticipated from the full security clearance
processing route. This initial group and those applicants now in
full security clearance process and expected to EOD during
February - May 1966 would probably be sufficient to ensure an
on-duty strength of ^before 30 June 1966 -- possibly by 1 May.
2. NPIC has the space to accommodate up to ^people brought in on
provisional clearances. OTR does not have the facilities in-house
to handle uncleared persons in a training status.
3. OTR must establish an unclassified training course, provide the
instructors and conduct the course at NPIC. In view of the probable
EOD rate it does not appear to be necessary to plan for a continuing
training program for provisionals. OTR says they do not have the
instructors available (Attachment 6) but the capability must be found.
4. Ensure that Office of Personnel continues to aggressively recruit
applicants for the requisite skills. There should be no relaxation
in recruitment when it may appear that on-duty strength will reach
or exceed FY 1966 ceiling authorization prior to 30 June 1966.
