SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
DOI is below parity with the Relevant
Civilian Labor Force representation for
many mission critical occupations. The
Department’s Strategic Human Capital
management Plan identifies the job
skills that will be needed in its current
and future workforce. The job skills it
will need are dispersed throughout its
eight bureaus and include, among
others, making visitors welcome to
various facilities, such as parks and
refuges, processing permits for a wide
variety of uses of the public lands,
collecting royalties for minerals
extracted from the public lands,
rounding-up and adopting-out wild
horses and burros found in the west,
protecting archeological and cultural
resources of the public lands, and
enforcing criminal laws of the United
States. As a result of this broad
spectrum of duties and services, the
Department touches the lives of most
Americans.
The people who deal with the
Department bring with them a wide
variety of backgrounds, cultures, and
experiences. A diverse workforce
enables the Department 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 DOI employees gain a measure of
knowledge, background, experience,
and comfort in serving all of the
Department’s customers.
In order to determine if there are
barriers in our recruitment and selection
processes, DOI must track the
demographic groups that apply for its
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
records of those applicants not selected
are destroyed in accordance with DOI’s
records management procedures.
