§3331 Management of Intelligence Community Personnel

Summary

The Director of National Intelligence must, starting October 1, 2018, improve how the intelligence community manages its people so agencies can keep the right mix of U.S. Government employees and core contractors. By July 1, 2017 and every 120 days until July 1, 2018 the Director must brief the congressional intelligence committees about this effort. Each fiscal year starting October 1, 2018, staffing must be set based on the workload and the money made available under section 3094. Staffing decisions cannot be limited by outside caps described as man years, end strength, full-time equivalent positions, or a maximum number of employees. Within 180 days after May 5, 2017 the Director must give the congressional intelligence committees a written report and briefing on how civilian and contractor FTEs are counted, the cost tool used, and plans to carry out the multi-sector workforce. Within 240 days after May 5, 2017 the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community must report to those committees on the accuracy of the numbers and cost data for civilian and contractor workers in each element.
