The Plum Book (United States Government Policy
        and Supporting Positions): 1996 EditionLEGEND**Position Location (Column 1)** Listed are the cities, States/Provinces and foreign countries in which 
        the positions are located. Countries and cities (or other subdivisions) 
        are shown for overseas posts. Note that "Washington DC" includes positions 
        in the entire metropolitan area and therefore includes certain cities 
        and counties in the States of Maryland and Virginia. 
      **Position Title (Column 2)** Listed are the position titles and the names of the organizations in 
        which they are located. 
      **Name of Incumbent (Column 3)** Listed are the names of individuals serving under other than 
        career appointments. The phrase "Career Incumbent" is shown for positions 
        encumbered by career appointees. The term "Vacant" is shown for 
        positions that were not occupied on September 1, 1996, the "as of" date 
        of this publication. 
       Note that the law requires that "member" positions in certain agencies 
        (e.g., boards, committees, and commissions) be filled on a bipartisan 
        basis. For such positions, the following letter codes are shown in parentheses 
        following the name of the incumbent: 
                  (D) = Democrat (I) = Independent (R) = Republican           

**Pay Plan (Column 4)** Listed are letter codes that denote the Federal salary schedule or pay 
        system under which position incumbents are paid. Tables showing the salary 
        ranges for each pay system are contained in Appendix 4. 
       EX = Executive Schedule           ES = Senior Executive Service           SL = Senior Level           AD= Administratively Determined           GS = General Schedule           FE = Senior Foreign Service           FP = Foreign Service Specialist           OT = Other Pay Plan (all those not listed separately)           PD = Daily Pay Rate* (per diem)           WC = Without Compensation*       
 * Although not Pay Plans, these codes are shown for information purposes.       
**Type of Appointment (Column 5)**
 Listed are letter codes that denote the type of appointment under which         the position incumbent is serving. Note that several categories of positions         can be filled by more than one type of appointment, e.g., SES positions         listed in this publication may be filled by using career, noncareer, limited         emergency, or limited term appointment authorities. Therefore, no "Type         of Appointment" is shown for such positions when they are vacant. Note         also that some part-time Presidential Appointments are not included in         this listing such as those serving on temporary commissions or those boards         and commissions which are governed by the Federal Advisory Committee Act.               PAS = Presidential Appointment with Senate Confirmation 
        PA = Presidential Appointment (without Senate confirmation) 
        CA = Career Appointment 
        NA = Noncareer Appointment 
        EA = Limited Emergency Appointment 
        TA = Limited Term Appointment 
        SC = Schedule C Excepted Appointment 
        XS = Appointment Excepted by Statute       

**Level, Grade, or Pay (Column 6)**
 Listed are numerical and letter codes that denote the level, grade or         salary of the position incumbered:               Levels I through V of the Executive Schedule 
        Grades 1 through 15 of the General Schedule 
        Annual Salary in Dollars 
        Daily Pay Rate in Dollars       

 If there is no entry in this column, the position does not have         an established level, grade, or salary. For example, the pay rate for         Senior Executive Service and Senior Level positions is "personal," i.e.,         attached to the incumbent, not the position. The pay rate for each new         appointee is set by the appointing authority (usually the agency head)         on a case-by-case basis. Annual salary schedules and pay ranges for such         positions are shown in Appendix 4.       
**Tenure (Column 7)**
 Listed are the terms or durations of the appointment in years. If there         is no entry in this column, the appointment has no fixed term.       
**Expires (Column 8)**
 Listed are the expiration dates for time-limited appointments. If there         is no entry in this column, the incumbent is not serving under         a time-limited appointment. However, many member positions on agency advisory         boards, councils, and commissions are filled initially for a fixed term,         but the incumbents may (and often do) serve beyond the expiration date         until they are replaced.
