§2123 Executive Director and Staff of Oversight Board

Summary

The Oversight Board must have an Executive Director who the Chair appoints with the Board’s consent. The Board decides the Director’s pay. With the Chair’s approval, the Director may hire staff and set their pay, but may not pay anyone more than the Director unless the Board allows it. The staff must include a Revitalization Coordinator under subchapter V. Staff may be private citizens, Federal employees, or territorial employees, but the Director cannot set pay for Federal or territorial employees. The Director and staff may be hired and paid without following the covered territory’s or Federal laws on appointments and salaries. Territory procurement rules do not apply to the Board. At the Chair’s request, heads of Federal agencies may detail personnel to the Board on a reimbursable or nonreimbursable basis under the Intergovernmental Personnel Act of 1970 (5 U.S.C. 3371–3375), and heads of territorial agencies may do the same.
