§474 Director of Office of Technology Assessment

Summary

The Board must appoint a Director of the Office of Technology Assessment for a six-year term and can remove the Director earlier. The Director must be paid at the Level III rate of the Executive Schedule (see section 5314 of title 5). The Director must carry out duties given by the law and any extra duties the Board assigns. With the Board’s approval, the Director can pick a Deputy. The Deputy acts when the Director is absent or the job is empty and is paid at the Level IV rate (see section 5315 of title 5). Neither the Director nor the Deputy may have any other job. They also may not hold a position in, or work for, any group that the Office contracts with unless the Board says it is okay.
