16 U.S.C. § 410ww–24: Staff of Commission

Summary

The Commission must have a Director who the Commission chooses. The Commission can hire extra staff and set their pay. Staff can include specialists in things like interpretation, historic preservation, Black history and literature, aviation history and technology, and urban revitalization. The Commission can also buy temporary help under section 3109(b) of title 5 and pay rates it thinks are reasonable. If asked, federal agencies with members on the Commission must detail staff to help, and the Commission must repay those agencies. The General Services Administration must give administrative support if the Commission asks, and the Commission must pay for it. The Commission can also accept and pay for staff from the State or local governments. The Director and staff can be hired outside the usual federal hiring and pay rules, but no one can be paid more than the yearly basic pay for GS–15.
