1. The following represents the Psychological Services
Division (PSD) current proposal for meeting and increasing
assessment requirements for FY 82-FY 83. The proposal is
realistically incremental in design and addresses the
increases as gradual rather than immediate.
2. The first incremental stage requires the reassignment
of the Selection Support Branch, Psychiatric Division, psychologist
to PSD for three months. This employee is an experienced assess-
ment psychologist and along with the current on-board six
assessment psychologists will eliminate the present backlog and
meet the
for 177 152. is stage has been implemented and is meeting
t e intended objective. The vacant Selection Support Branch
position will be covered.for the three-month period by two
part-time OMS annuitants.
3. The second incremental stage requires one GS-12
Research Branch position to be transferred and redesignated
as a chief testing psychologist position. The advantage
gained is one additional extra testing psychologist who along
with testing duties will supervise the Testing Branch. This
will relieve the present testing supervisor, the chief
assessment psychologist, to do additional intensive assessments
and permit him to more closely supervise the assessment

procedures. Recruitment for a new testing psychologist has
begun and the research position will be transferred on
16 February 1982.
4. The current incumbent of the GS-12 Research Branch
position is a contract employee, who will be placed in the
development complement and be considered as one of the authorized
overages for FY 82. At the end of this fiscal year, the
employee's contract will be terminated or the employee will
be reassigned to another vacant OMS or Agency position. The
latter course is my choice and will be actively pursued.

6. The only part of this incremental package left is the
selection of BAB psychologist for training and the approval to
relocate the PSD Testing Branch from the sixth floor to the
seventh floor of the Chamber of Commerce Building. This move
in itself is critical because it would relieve existing space
pressures and allow the needed privacy and needed room for the
additional psychologists;, increase the efficiency and interaction
of the assessment and testing personnel; and provide the. crucial
vault space for testing, processing, and storage.

7. This then represents a proposal that is pragmatic,
cost-effective,,and flexible in design.
