make a good faith effort to reach parity in the under represented job groups. Similar toother public utilities, the FE-PA Companies have indicated that they have difficultyattracting women and/or minorities for certain positions (e.g., technicians and skilledcraft workers). For all three FE-PA Companies combined, women are underrepresented by 46 individuals and minorities are under represented by 25 individuals.Staff’s Follow-up Recommendation – Intensify efforts to attain full representationof women and minorities within the workforce.Prior Recommendation – Take necessary steps to meet minority business suppliergoals.Prior Situation – From 2003 to 2005, FirstEnergy had met or exceeded its goals foracquiring materials and services from diverse business enterprises, except for minoritybusinesses. Although FirstEnergy exceeded the minority business goal in 2003 (1.94%actual vs. 1.5% goal), it fell short of its goals in 2004 and 2005 (2.6% actual in 2004 vs.3% goal in 2004; 1.5% actual in 2005 vs. 3% goal in 2005).Follow-up Finding and Conclusion No. XII-2 – FirstEnergy has been consistentlyreaching many, but not all, of its diverse supplier goals.FirstEnergy establishes goals for the following diverse supplier BusinessClasses: Small Business, Minority Business, Woman-Owned Business, HUBZoneBusiness (Historically Underutilized Business Zones program of the U.S. SmallBusiness Administration), Veteran-Owned Business, and Service Disabled VeteranBusiness. Goals are established for total FirstEnergy purchases as opposed to theFE-PA Companies’ purchases. Percentage goals for each Business Class and actualresults for 2006 through 2010 are shown in Exhibit XII-4. It should be noted that theTotal Spent FE-PA column reflects FirstEnergy’s expenditures with <strong>Pennsylvania</strong> basedsuppliers. These items may or may not have been used by one of the three FE-PACompanies. This is how FirstEnergy captures this information, and is not typically beingmonitored by the Commission in this manner.- 90 -
