regarding measures of program performance and the use of such measures
in making management and budget decisions. Council members will advise
OMB regarding the particular processes and means utilized to assess the
effectiveness of Federal programs and initiatives. Council members will
draw upon their expertise in creating, implementing and evaluating
performance measurement standards and will make recommendations
regarding the types of measures and benchmarking systems that
departments and agencies can employ most effectively to track program
performance.
The Council's proposed functions are essential to OMB's successful
implementation of an effective system of program evaluation. The
independent expert advice and recommendations sought through this
Council cannot be provided internally by OMB, by another existing
committee, or by other means such as a public hearing.
Balanced Membership Plans: The Council shall consist of
approximately six members. Every effort shall be made to select Council
members who are outstanding in their professional field and who are
objective. A balance is needed and individuals with expertise in
performance measurement are essential. In selecting Council members,
weight is given to viewpoint diversity, expertise in performance
measurement, and professional qualifications.
Duration: The Council shall exist for nine months from the date of
the Charter, unless earlier renewed.
