This appendix presents the percentage of unused attorney FTEs during FYs 2003 through 2007. For this analysis, we compared the total attorney FTEs allocated to the total attorney FTEs utilized within each USAO throughout our review period. However, we excluded any time recorded in excess of a standard 40-hour work week. For example, during FY 2003, the Middle District of Alabama was allocated 19.1 attorney FTEs and utilized 18.17 attorney FTEs. Thus, this district had a total of 0.93 unused attorney FTEs – equating to 4.86 percent. Positive percentages shown within this appendix indicate that a USAO did not use its entire allocation of attorney FTEs. In contrast, negative percentages indicate that a USAO utilized more than its allocated amount of attorney FTEs.
