Based on the developed plans, approximately 52,300 of the 68,900 Department of the Interior employees projected to be in pay status will be furloughed at the outset of a suspension of activities. [...] Approximately 9,500 employees will be designated as excepted or emergency personnel to complete shutdown activities and to protect life and property.  This number will decrease if the shutdown goes beyond two to three days as facilities are secured and other shutdown activities are completed.  In addition, a limited number of employees providing administrative support for essential functions, such as budget, IT, finance, and contracting, will be considered essential.  Some of these employees may be required on an intermittent basis after the initial shutdown activities are completed.

Dept. of Treasury 8 April 2011:
