governments, Federal agencies or employees.
    Small Businesses or Organizations Affected: No.
    Federal Budget Functional Category Code: 452.
    Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 2,000.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 500.
    Estimated Average Burden Hours Per Response: .25.
    Need For and Use of Information: TVA is cooperating with 22 other 
Federal and state agencies to investigate selected factors which may 
influence minority and non-minority representation in state and Federal 
agency natural resource professions. A survey of natural resource 
professions in the Southeastern United States will be conducted to 
determine (1) the diversity in the workforce and job responsibilities, 
(2) factors that promote or preclude job satisfaction, (3) educational 
backgrounds attained and needed by inservice professions, and (4) 
conceptual framework for career selection by and retention of 
minorities in natural resource professions. Results of the study may 
provide strategies for state and Federal agencies to refine minority 
recruitment and retention programs, personnel planning, and career 
counseling.
