RECOPJI.7P4'DED CHANCES, FUNCTIONS AND ORGANIZATIONS COLLECTION BEICH, OCD
1. A cam. study of the operations conducted by the Collection Branch,
OCD, during the last seven months, has revealed that minor modifications in
Branch functions, organization and personnel requirements should be made in
order to effect more economical utilization of personnel and to insure greater
efficiency in future collection operations.
2. The salient .feature of the recommended changes in functions and
organization is the consolidation of the presently authorized Collection
Policy Division and the Analysis Division into one Division; the Policy and
Analysis Division. The functions of the two old Divisions are placed under
the single new Division. The restatement of functions, suitably modified, is
contained in Section II and the changes in organization in Section III hereto.
Section IV contains the recapitulation of total personnel requirements under
the recommended organization change.
3. The recommended change in organization of the Collection Branch
entails no change in professional personnel, other than minor readjustments
of grade, but envisages an increase of five clerical personnel, primarily for
the Control Section of the Procurement Division. This increase is deemed
necessary in view of the constantly increasing collection work load as evi-
denced by the monthly OCD progress reports. A statement of the duties of the
additional personnel requested for the Collection Branch is contained in
Section V hereto.
