Summary of Information Collection

    National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA) is below parity with 
the Relevant Civilian Labor Force representation for many mission 
critical occupations. The Agency's Directorate of Human Development 
identifies the job skills that will be needed in our current and future 
workforce. NGA has a broad mission and has employees located throughout 
the country and world. As a result, it requires a multitude of job 
skills and employee backgrounds. The customers who transact business 
with the Agency bring with them a wide variety of backgrounds, 
cultures, and experiences. A diverse workforce enables the Agency to 
provide a measure of understanding to its customers by relating to the 
diverse background of those customers. By including employees of all 
backgrounds, all NGA employees gain a measure of knowledge, background, 
and experience that are beneficial in serving the agency's customers.
    In order to determine if there are barriers in our recruitment and 
selection processes, we must rank the demographic groups that apply for 
our jobs. There is no other statistically valid method to make these 
determinations, and no source of this information other than directly 
from applicants. The data collected is not provided to selecting 
officials and plays no part in the merit staffing or the selection 
processes. The data collected will be used in summary form to determine 
trends covering the demographic make-up of applicant pools and job 
selections within a given occupation or organizational group. The
