The Federal Vacancies Reform Act of 1998 sets requirements for reporting to Congress and the Comptroller General actions related to Presidential Appointment with Senate Confirmation (PAS) positions as well as the qualifications for and term limits on acting PAS officers. GAO had reviewed agencies' performance in implementing the Vacancies Reform Act and found substantial problems with their reporting timeliness and compliance with term limits for acting officials. In this current effort, GAO looked at agencies' procedures to identify approaches that could be applied across the government to help assure effective implementation of the act. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-806/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-806.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-806/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-806.pdf GAO-03-806 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-806 Other Written Product GAO-03-806; Federal Vacancies Reform Act: Key Elements for Agency Procedures for Complying with the Act; Congressional oversight Federal legislation Performance measures Presidential appointments Reporting requirements Intergovernmental relations Title 5 Section 3345 5 U.S.C. 3345
