§3331 Management of intelligence community personnel

Summary

Beginning October 1, 2018, the Director of National Intelligence must improve how the intelligence community manages its people. Agencies must be able to keep the right mix of U.S. government employees and core contractors. Each year personnel levels must match the actual workload and the money provided under section 3094. Management decisions cannot be limited by outside caps such as man years, end strength, full‑time equivalent positions, or a maximum number of employees. The Director also had to brief the congressional intelligence committees by July 1, 2017 and every 120 days after that until July 1, 2018 about this effort. Within 180 days after May 5, 2017, the Director must give a written report and briefing to those committees explaining three things: how civilian and contractor full‑time equivalents are counted, what cost tool is used to calculate personnel costs, and the plans to create the mixed workforce. Within 240 days after May 5, 2017, the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community must send a report to the same committees on how accurate the data are about workforce numbers and costs for each part of the intelligence community.
