the Chief Statistician of the United States shall serve as the Chair

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,
evaluation and research methodologies, and other relevant subjects.
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
found at www.bea.gov/evidence. Any member appointed to fill a vacancy
occurring before the expiration of the term for which the member's
predecessor was appointed shall be appointed only for the remainder of
that term.
