§5849 Other officers

Summary

The Commission must appoint an Executive Director for Operations who serves at the Commission’s pleasure and can be removed by the Commission. The Executive Director does the tasks the Commission gives, but cannot stop leaders of any component part from reporting or talking directly to the Commission when those leaders need to do so. Those leaders must keep the Executive Director fully and currently informed about what they tell the Commission. The Executive Director must report twice a year at public meetings on the Commission’s equal employment opportunity efforts. The Executive Director must also prepare and send an annual report (starting with fiscal year 1978 and each year after) on domestic safeguards programs, including how effective safeguards are at licensed facilities and activities. The Commission must send that report to Congress before February 1, 1979, and before February 1 of each year after, as a separate chapter of its annual report. The Commission may appoint up to five more officers; those jobs are career positions and follow the law’s rules for career positions.
