Executive Branch of the Federal Government, as well as the populations for the Department of
Agriculture (DoA) and the Department of the Interior (DOI) for the month of July.

Figures Ex2.1and Ex2.2 show the historical population trends for the Executive Branch and DoA
and DOI. As shown by the dotted trend lines in Figure Ex2.2, both the DOI and DoA
populations are showing a decreasing trend, whereas the Executive Branch workforce shown in
Figure Ex2.1 has an increasing trend. Also of note, both the DOI and DoA experienced
consistent population cycles over the course of the five years. The cycle’s maximum population
is in June of each year and the minimum population is seen in February or March of the fiscal
year.

On average, the Forest Service (FS) comprises 38% of DoA’s workforce. Figure Ex2.3 below
shows that the FS also experiences the same population cycles as the DoA, but that DoA’s total
workforce is decreasing at a 40% faster rate than the FS’ (evidenced by the slope of the linear
trend line shown in Figure Ex2.3).

On average, the sum of the total employee counts of BLM, FWS, BIA, and NPS make up 75.5%
of the total DOI workforce. Figure Ex2.4 below displays the workforce populations at the end of
each fiscal year between FY 2005 and FY 2009. As shown below, trend of the sum of the
populations from the NWFF bureaus is flat-lined (i.e., the population increases seen in FY 2005,
FY 2008, and FY 2009 were offset by the population decreases seen in FY 2006 and FY 2007).

Agency Population Distributions by Work Schedule and Position Type
Tables Ex2.4 through Ex2.6 show the total number of civilian employees by work schedule and
position type for the month of July for the Executive Branch, DOA, and DOI. The distribution of
employees within each work schedule and position type category is shown in Figures Ex2.5
through Ex2.7. As shown in the figures, the DOA and DOI have a significantly higher number of
full-time employees in temporary positions (approximately 19% on average) compared to the
Executive Branch (approximately 4% on average) during the month of July.

Agency Accession and Separation Rates
Tables Ex2.7 and Ex2.8 below show the number of separations for the months of June and July,
followed by the separation rates for the months of June and July in Tables Ex2.9 and Ex2.10.
Historically, the accession rates for the DOI and DoA in the month of June are much higher than
those in the month of July, which further supports the overall population cycles shown in Figure
Ex2.2 above.

higher than those in the month of July, but not at the significant difference shown in the
accessions. This also supports the overall population cycles because more employees are

NWFF Workforce Population Trends
The NWFF Organization is diverse in both organization between different bureaus and
administration of those bureaus. At the beginning of the study, the NWFF study team was
immediately challenged with determining a method to identify and quantify the full NWFF
workforce. Both the FS and DOI have various programs under the fire umbrella and each of
these programs has specific budget line items to be used for billing and accounting purposes.
By quantifying the number of hours billed to all of these programs across the five different
organizations, the team was able to identify individuals who performed fire duties in the past
based upon the assumption that individuals who bill to a fire program are, in fact, performing fire
duties.
Data that identified the number of base 8 (i.e., regularly scheduled) hours any employee billed
to a fire budget line item (e.g., WFHF, WFPR, WFSU, and WFW3 for FS) was obtained from the
each Agency’s Financial Data Warehouse for fiscal years (FY) 2004-2009. This data was then
analyzed and Human Resource data that provided demographic information was obtained for
the majority of employees from each year. A detailed description of the data process and
methodology for each organization can be found in Exhibits 6 and 7.
Obtaining data from different systems often results in gaps between the data and challenges for
synthesizing the data. A small number of NWFF employees appear to have charged time to a
fire program but do not appear in the data provided from the HRM systems. The number of
these employees for each FY is identified in Table Ex2.15 below.
NWFF
Page Ex2.9
Final Report
Exhibit 2 – Workforce Population Trend Analysis
BLM HRM information was gathered using a system download of pay periods 02 and 15. These
pay periods were selected based on the assumption that they would provide data on the
majority of employees identified as billing to a fire program for the corresponding FY without
requiring a time intensive data retrieval process. As shown in Table Ex2.15, the majority of
employees were found, but the employees shown as missing from the BLM data most likely
were not on staff during pay periods 02 or 15 for the corresponding FY. The same situation
occurred with the BIA. Further research is being conducted to understand the identified gaps in
the FS data separate to this analysis. The number of missing employees is not a statistically
significant population that will affect the NWFF workforce analysis. More specifically, very few
of these employees could potentially fall within the scope of this study.
Late in the course of the analysis, it was discovered that the number of base 8 hours for the
NPS appears to have included overtime hours. As shown below, the NPS workforce population
represents a small percentage of the overall NWFF workforce therefore the impact of including
the data would not be significant to the findings of the study.

The number listed in Table Ex2.15 above reflect the total number of employees that billed to a
fire program code for the corresponding FY, with the exclusion of employees determined to be
out of scope of the study. The HRM data provided additional information with regard to
determining if a position was within scope of the study, and these positions were removed from
the analysis. Law Enforcement, investigative, and structural fire positions (NPS) were
considered out of scope of this study. Specific details regarding determining if a position was
out of scope can be found in Exhibits 6 and 7.
Table Ex2.16 below displays the five-year average total number of NWFF employees versus the
population of the corresponding bureau. Details regarding the bureau populations from FY
2005 through FY 2009 can be found in Attachments Ex2.1 through Ex2.5. As shown in the
table below, NWFF employees make up approximately 73% of the FS population on average
compared to 24% of DOI’s population. Under DOI, BLM has the most significant percentage of
bureau employees with 54% of its five-year average population also being NWFF employees.

The following figure shows the five-year average distribution of the 51% or More NWFF

Determining the 51% Line for Different Appointment Types
Once the entire NWFF workforce was identified, the team then needed to define what 51% of a
position’s regularly scheduled work hours actually meant for each appointment type and
ultimately identify the employees who were in scope for Phase 1 of the NWFF Workforce
Assessment. Full Time positions are scheduled for 2,080 hours annually, so an employee who
bills 51% or more of their time to fire would bill more than 1,060 base 8 hours to a fire program
code. The 51% dividing line for the other appointment types and work schedules was not as
clear, and the following table identifies the 51% annual workload dividing line used for each
position type.

Note: HRM data did not identify which
category the employee fell into (i.e., 18/8
or 13/13) for FS, so all FS Full Time
Seasonal employees who billed more
than 529 base 8 hours were considered
in-scope for Phase 1.

Assumption: Employees can enter
intermittent status after they have
completed guaranteed seasonal pay
periods. Employees may have billed
hours to fire program codes under
another status in the financial system,
but the HRM data reflects the
employee’s status as of the date in the
FY that the information was pulled.
More than 424 Hours
More than 529 Hours
(Consistent with Full Time Seasonal)
The following figures show the distribution of the NWFF workforce by appointment type
according to the dividing lines identified in Table Ex2.17 above. Table Ex2.18provides the fiveyear average data regarding the number of employees by each appointment type by agency.
