Frosch Administrator, National Aeronautics and Space Administration <if Dear Dr. Frosch: Subject: CFirst Look at Senior Executive Service Performance Awards/NASJ (FPCD-80-85) During July 1980, members of my staff reviewed Senior Executive Service (SES) bonus payments at the National Aero- nautics and Space Administration (NASA) and two other agen- cies as part of a study directed by the Congress. Results of this study are included in our report entitled First Look at Senior Executive Service Performance Awards, FPCD-80-74, August 15, 1980 (copy enclosed). We concluded that the performance awards were within the requirements of the Civil Service Reform Act, as well as Office of Personnel Management (OPM) guidance. But we re- ported that each of the agencies experienced some procedural difficulties in administering these awards. We did not make specific recommendations to the three agencies in our report. In lieu of this, we are writing this letter to share a few of our observations about NASA's bonus system and to outline some recommendations you may wish to consider. COMPOSITION OF THE PERFORMANCE REVIEW BOARDS (PRBs) All of NASA's Executive Position Managers (EPMs) re- ceived either bonuses or meritorious or distinguished rank nominations. As you know, the Senior Executive Committee serves as the PRB for FPM bonus and performance rating recom- mendations. The committee was chaired by the Deputy Adminis- trator who was also the official responsible for rating and recommending EPMs for bonuses. (961113) 113984
