Office of Government Ethics (OGE).

ACTION:

Notice.

SUMMARY:

Notice is hereby given of the appointment of members of the updated OGE Senior Executive Service (SES) Performance Review Board.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Shelley K. Finlayson, Chief of Staff and Program Counsel, Office of Government Ethics, Suite 500, 1201 New York Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20005-3917; Telephone: [phone]; TYY: 800-877-8339; FAX: [phone].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

5 U.S.C. 4314(c) requires each agency to establish, in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Office of Personnel Management at 5 CFR part 430, subpart C and § 430.310 thereof in particular, one or more Senior Executive Service performance review boards. As a small executive branch agency, OGE has just one board. In order to ensure an adequate level of staffing and to avoid a constant series of recusals, the designated members of OGE's SES Performance Review Board are being drawn, as in the past, in large measure from the ranks of other executive branch agencies. The board shall review and evaluate the initial appraisal of each OGE senior executive's performance by his or her supervisor, along with any recommendations in each instance to the appointing authority relative to the performance of the senior executive. This notice updates the membership of OGE's SES Performance Review Board as it was most recently published at 78 FR 76148 (December 16, 2013).

Approved: September 13, 2017.

David J. Apol,

Acting Director, U.S. Office of Government Ethics.
