HUD's 2000 A-76/Fair Act Inventory

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) prepared its inventory of commercial activities in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Activities Inventory Reform (FAIR) Act of 1998 and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-76, Performance of Commercial Activities. Our inventory reflects a total of 5808 Full-Time Equivalents (FTEs) as of April 8, 2000. This represents 63 percent of the Department's total workforce of 9,425 as of the same date. The FTEs are listed by organizational component and by geographical location.

The functions performed are identified and classified using the function codes and reason codes listed in OMB Circular A-76. The reason codes used are as follows:

Reason Code "A": Identifies commercial activities that are performed by Federal employees and are specifically exempt, by the agency, from the cost comparison requirements of OMB Circular A-76. The agency has determined that performance of these functions must remain in-house.

Reason Code "B": Identifies commercial activities that are performed by Federal employees and are subject to the cost comparison requirements of OMB Circular A-76.

Reason Code "C": Identifies commercial activities that are performed by Federal employees and are specifically exempt from the cost comparison requirements of OMB Circular A-76.

The inventory includes two summaries of the Department's FTEs. One of the summaries lists FTEs by function and the other lists FTEs by reason code and then by function. Following the two summaries are detailed inventories for each of the following organizations:
