SF Career employees in grades GS-10 through GS-13 in accordance with
criteria approved by the SF Career Service Board. The competitive evalua-
tion lists will be submitted to the SF Career Service Board for approval.

Evaluation Panel, and the provision for rotation of certain members, is
designed to obtain as wide a representation as practical of senior SF
personnel who have first-hand knowledge of the performance and capabilities
of the SF Careerists being evaluated and considered for reassignment and
promotion, together with the knowledge of the various finance skills
required in the positions to be filled by SF Careerists.

following schedule for the annual competitive evaluation of personnel in
grades GS-10 through GS-13:

SF Careerists will be competitively evaluated by the SF Career Service Board
during the month of July.

ment to selected mid-level SF Career supervisors, a Junior Professional
Panel is established. The panel will be composed of three finance supervisory
personnel at the grade level of GS-13 or above, permanently chaired by
the Executive Officer, Office of Finance. The membership of this panel will
be made up of finance officers assigned to components of the Office of
Finance as well as finance officers assigned to other components of the Agency.

representation from within the Office of Finance and from other components
of the Agency will vary from time to time. The panel will be convened at
least annually, in the fall. The function of the Junior Professional
Panel is to insure that the development and promotion progression of all
