SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

5 U.S.C. 4314(c)(1) requires each agency to establish, in accordance with regulations with regulations prescribed by the Office
of Personnel Management, a performance review board (PRB). The PRB reviews the initial performance ratings of members of the
Senior Executive Service (SES) and makes recommendations for final annual performance ratings for senior executives. In addition,
the PRB will review and recommend executive performance bonuses and pay increases.

Publication of the PRB membership is required by 5 U.S.C. 4314(c)(4). Because the CSB is a small independent Federal agency,
in addition to a member from the CSB, the agency is drawing additional career appointed SES members for its PRB from other
Federal agencies. One member of the previously announced PRB is no longer able to serve. Jerold Gidner will be stepping down
and Jason Bruno will take his place.

The PRB shall consist of at least three members, and more than half of the members shall consist of career appointees when
reviewing the performance of a career appointed SES. The following persons comprise the CSB Senior Executive Service PRB:

Dr. Sylvia Johnson, Board Member, U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board;

Rachel A. Wallace, Deputy General Counsel and Chief Operating Officer, Office of Science and Technology Policy, Executive
Office of the President; and

Jason Bruno, Director of the Office of Strategic Oversight and Planning, Bureau of Trust Funds Administration, U.S. Department
of Interior.
