SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Foundations for Evidence-Based 
Policymaking Act (Pub. L. 115-435, Evidence Act 101(a)(2) (5 U.S.C. 315 
(a)), establishes the Committee and its charge. It specifies that the 
Chief Statistician of the United States shall serve as the Chair and 
other members shall be appointed by the Director of the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB). The Act prescribes a membership balance 
plan that includes: One agency Chief Information Officer; one agency 
Chief Privacy Officer; one agency Chief Performance Officer; three 
members who are agency Chief Data Officers; three members who are 
agency Evaluation Officers; and three members who are agency 
Statistical Officials who are members of the Interagency Council for

Additionally, at least 10 members are to be representative of state and 
local governments and nongovernmental stakeholders with expertise in 
government data policy, privacy, technology, transparency policy,

Committee members serve for a term of two years. Following a public 
solicitation and review of nominations, the Director of OMB appointed 
members per this balance plan and information on the membership can be

that term.
