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.

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.
