Presidential Appointments to Full-Time Positions on
Regulatory and Other Collegial Boards and
Commissions, 107^th Congress
Summary
During the 107^th Congress, 125 nominations to full-time positions on 33
regulatory and other boards and commissions were submitted to the Senate by the
President. President Clinton submitted 12 of these nominations before he left office
on January 20, 2001, and these 12 were withdrawn by President Bush on March 19,
2001. President Bush submitted 113 nominations, of which 72 were confirmed, 6
were withdrawn, and 35 were returned to him (13 at the August 2001 recess and 22
at the end of the Congress). President Clinton made 12 recess appointments during
the intersession between the 106^th and 107^th Congresses, all of which expired at the^th
end of the first session of the 107 Congress. President Bush made 5 intrasession
and 7 intersession recess appointments to boards and commissions. Seven of^th
President Bush’s recess appointments expired at the end of the 107 Congress and
five will expire at the end of the first session of 108^th Congress. At the end of the^th
107 Congress, there were 19 vacancies among 147 positions. In addition, 14
incumbents were serving past the expiration of their terms.

Presidential Appointments to Full-Time
Positions on Regulatory and Other Collegial
th
Boards and Commissions, 107 Congress
Introduction¹
This report provides an overview of the process for filling positions to which the
President makes appointments with the advice and consent of the Senate. It also
specifies, for the 107^th Congress, all nominations to full-time positions on 33
regulatory and other collegial boards and commissions.² Profiles of each board and
commission provide information on their organizational structures, membership as
of the end of the 107^th Congress, and appointment activity during that Congress.
Appointments During the 107^th Congress
During the 107^th Congress, 125 nominations to full-time positions on 33
regulatory and other boards and commissions were submitted to the Senate by the
President. President Clinton submitted 12 of these nominations before he left office
on January 20, 2001, and these 12 were withdrawn by President Bush on March 19,
2001. President Bush submitted 113 nominations, of which 72 were confirmed, 6
were withdrawn, and 35 were returned to him (13 at the August recess and 22 at the
end of the 107^th Congress). President Clinton made 12 recess appointments during
the intersession between the 106^th and 107^th Congresses, all of which expired at the
end of the first session of the 107^th Congress. President Bush made 5 intrasession
and 7 intersession recess appointments to regulatory and other boards and
commissions. Seven of President Bush’s recess appointments expired at the end of
the 107^th Congress and five will expire at the end of the first session of the 108^th.
Table 1 summarizes the appointment activity for the 107^th Congress. At the end of
the Congress, there were 19 vacancies among 147 positions. In addition, 14
incumbents were serving past the expiration of their terms.

Average Time to Confirm a Nomination
The average time the Senate took to confirm a nomination to a regulatory or
other collegial board or commission, as well as the average time the President took
to submit a nomination, may not be as meaningful when considering boards or
commissions as it is when considering executive departments and single-head
independent agencies. Nearly all positions on boards and commissions are for a fixed
term of office, and when a term expires, the incumbent usually may remain in office
until he or she is replaced by a successor. Moreover, a nomination is frequently
submitted before an incumbent’s term expires. Consequently, the time taken to
confirm a nomination generally is not as crucial for independent regulatory boards
and commissions as it is for executive departments and single-head independent
agencies, where a nomination is generally made to a position that is vacant.
The length of time a given nomination may be pending in the Senate varies
widely. Some nominations are confirmed within a few days, others may not be
confirmed for several months, and some are never confirmed. This report provides,^th
for each board or commission nomination that was confirmed in the 107 Congress,
the number of days between nomination and confirmation (“days to confirm”). Some
Senate recess days are not included in this sum because Senators are unable to take
up nominations on these days. For practical reasons, only days from the longer
recesses around August and between congressional sessions are excluded. These
recesses are often longer than 30 days. This cutoff point is suggested by the Senate
rules, which provide that “if the Senate shall adjourn or take recess for more than
thirty days, all nominations pending and not finally acted upon” shall be returned to³
the President, although this rule is often waived. The 32 days during the August

2002 recess and the 33 days between the first and second sessions of the 107^th

³U.S. Congress, Senate Committee on Rules and Administration, Senate Manual, 106^th
Cong., 1^st sess., S.Doc. 106-1 (Washington: GPO, 1999), p. 55, Rule XXXI, paragraph 6 of
the Standing Rules of the Senate.

Congress were subtracted from the “days to confirm” for those nominations that
spanned one or both recesses. No days were subtracted for the August 2001 recess,
because, as discussed below, all pending nominations were returned prior to that
recess.
An accurate calculation of the average time the Senate took to confirm a
nomination in the 107^th Congress is made more challenging by an unusual
characteristic of the session. As just noted, the Senate rules provide that all pending
nominations are to be returned to the President at the beginning of recesses of thirty
days or more. Usually the Senate agrees, by unanimous consent, to waive this rule
and retain pending nominations over their recesses. Prior to the 31-day August 2001
recess, however, the Senate did not reach such an agreement, and 162 pending
nominations, 13 of which were to the organizations discussed in this report, were
returned to the President.⁴ The President sent forward nominations for some of these
individuals again after the recess. Those nominations were considered to be new
nominations, rather than continuations of the pre-recess nominations. As a result,
when such nominations are confirmed, the length of the confirmation process, shown
in the tables of this report as “days to confirm,” does not include any pre-recess time
during which the nominee was under consideration in the Senate. Consequently, the
average is smaller than it would be if the pre- and post-recess nomination times were
added together. For example, the mean number of days to confirm for all boards and
commissions is 70 days, but if the pre-recess days during which a nominee was under
consideration in the Senate were included for all confirmed nominees, this mean
would be 72 days. Likewise, the median “days to confirm” for all board and
commission nominations is 51, but it would be 52 if pre-recess days were included.⁵
Table notes provide figures that take such pre-recess time into account. In general,
however, comparisons between average confirmation times from this report and those
from previous reports should be made cautiously.
Since most of these boards and commissions require a political balance among
their members (i.e., no more than a simple majority may be from the same political

⁴See Sen. Harry Reid and Sen. Trent Lott, “Unanimous Consent Request — Executive
Calendar,” colloquy, Congressional Record, daily edition, vol. 147, Aug. 3, 2001, p. S8888.^st
Such a unanimous consent agreement was reached, however, for the recess between the 1^nd^th
and 2 sessions of the 107 Congress. Sen. Harry Reid, “Nominations to Remain in Status
Quo Notwithstanding the Adjournment of the Senate,” Congressional Record, daily edition,
vol. 147, Dec. 20, 2001, p. S14049. By unanimous consent, no nominations were returned
to the President prior to the 32-day August 2002 recess. Sen. Harry Reid, “Order for
Nominations,” Congressional Record, daily edition, vol. 148, Aug. 1, 2002, p. S8020.
⁵In this report, the tables for individual boards and commissions show the mean for that
organization, and the table of all nominations in Appendix A shows both the mean and the
median. The mean is the average as it is commonly calculated. In order to calculate the
mean “days to confirm,” for example, for each organization, the “days to confirm” data for
all the confirmed nominations in the organization were added together and then divided by
the number of confirmed nominations. The median is the middle number when the “days
to confirm” data for all the confirmed nominations are arranged in numerical order.
Although the mean is the more familiar kind of average, the median is included on the larger
table because it diminishes the influence of a few extreme entries. It is not included on the
smaller tables, where the influence of such entries is more directly visible.

party), the President negotiates over nominations with leaders of the opposition party
in Congress. These negotiations involve questions not only of patronage, but also of
policy, especially when the board or commission is involved in areas that, at the time,
may be particularly sensitive. This often results in a packaging process in which the
President submits several nominations together for positions in a particular agency
and the Senate then confirms them as a group. Sometimes, however, only one or two
nominations are submitted when three or four positions may be available. When this
occurs, a nomination may remain before the Senate for many months, until one or
two additional nominations are submitted. Generally, all are then quickly confirmed.
(The Federal Communications Commission provides an example of cluster action.)
The Appointment Process
The President and the Senate share the power to appoint the principal officers
of the United States.⁶ The Constitution (Article II, Section 2) empowers the
President to nominate and, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to
appoint the principal officers of the United States. Three distinct stages mark the
appointment process — selection and nomination, confirmation, and appointment.
Selection and Nomination. In this stage, the President selects the nominee
and sends the nomination to the Senate. There are a number of steps in the
President’s selection of candidates for most Senate-confirmed positions. First, with
the assistance of the White House Office of Presidential Personnel, the President
selects a candidate for the position. The candidate then prepares and submits several
forms: the “Public Financial Disclosure Report” (Standard Form (SF) 278), the
“Questionnaire for National Security Positions” (SF 86), and the White House
“Personal Data Statement Questionnaire.” The Office of the Counsel to the President
oversees the clearance process, with background investigations conducted by the
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Office of
Government Ethics (OGE), and ethics official for the agency to which the candidate
is to be appointed. If conflicts are found during the background check, OGE and the
agency ethics officer may work with the candidate to mitigate the conflicts. Once the
Counsel has cleared the candidate, the nomination is ready to be submitted to the
Senate. The selection and vetting stage is often the longest part of the appointment
process. There can be lengthy delays, particularly if many candidates are being
processed, as they are at the beginning of an Administration, or if conflicts need to
be resolved. Candidates for higher-level positions are often accorded priority in this
process.
For positions located within a state (U.S. attorney, U.S. marshal, and U.S.
district judge), the President, by custom, normally nominates an individual
recommended by the Senator or Senators (if they are from the same party as the
President) from that state. If neither Senator is from the President’s party, he usually
defers to the recommendations of party leaders from the state. Occasionally, the
President solicits recommendations from Senators of the opposition party because of

⁶A succinct historical and contemporary overview of the appointment power is found in
Louis Fisher, “Appointment Powers,” in his Constitutional Conflicts between Congress and^th
the President, 4 ed. (Lawrence, KS: University Press of Kansas, 1997), pp. 22-48.

their positions in the Senate. Before making a nomination to a federal position at the
state or national level, the President must consider how it will fare in the
confirmation process.
A nominee has no legal authority to assume the duties and responsibilities of the
position; the authority comes with Senate confirmation and presidential appointment.
A nominee who is hired as a consultant while awaiting confirmation may serve only
in an advisory capacity. If circumstances permit and conditions are met, the
President may give the nominee a recess appointment to the position (see below).
Recess appointments may have political consequences, however, particularly if
Senators perceive that an appointment is an effort to circumvent their constitutional
role. Some Senate-confirmed positions, such as many of those in the executive
departments, may also be temporarily filled under the Vacancies Act.⁷ Positions on
most boards and commissions, however, are not covered by this Act.⁸
Confirmation. In the confirmation or second stage, the Senate alone
determines whether to approve or disapprove a nomination. The way the Senate acts
on a nomination depends largely on the importance of the position involved, existing
political circumstances, and policy implications. Generally, the Senate shows
particular interest in the nominees’ views and how they are likely to affect public⁹
policy. Two other factors may also affect the scrutiny with which a nominee’s
personal and professional qualities are examined: whether or not the President’s party
controls the Senate and the degree to which the President becomes involved in
supporting the nomination.
Although the Senate confirms most nominations, no President can safely assume
that his nominees will be approved routinely. Rarely, however, does a rejection
occur on the Senate floor. Nearly all rejections occur in committee, either by
committee vote or by committee inaction. Rejections in committee occur for a variety
of reasons, including opposition to the nomination, inadequate amount of time for
consideration of the nomination, or factors that may have nothing to do with the
merits of the nomination. The most recent study of Senate confirmation action,
which looked at the period between 1981 and 1992, found that the Senate failed to
confirm 22% of all nominations to full-time positions on boards and commissions.
During the same period, 11% of nominations to independent agencies and 9% of
nominations to executive departments also failed.¹⁰

Appointment. In the final stage, the confirmed nominee is given a
commission signed by the President, with the seal of the United States affixed
thereto, and is sworn into office. The President may sign the commission at any time
after confirmation. Under unusual circumstances, he may not sign it at all, thus
preventing the appointment. Once the appointee is given the commission and sworn
in, he or she has full authority to carry out the responsibilities of the office.
Recess Appointments
The appointment process also enables the President to make appointments
without Senate confirmation when the Senate is in recess, either during a session
(intrasession recess appointment) or between sessions (intersession recess
appointment). Recess appointments expire at the end of the next session of¹¹
Congress. Recess appointments made by President Clinton during the intersession
prior to the beginning of the 107^th Congress expired at the end of the first session of^th
the 107 Congress. Recess appointments made by President Bush during a recess
within the first session or between the first and second sessions of the 107^th Congress^th
expired at the end of the second session of the 107 Congress. Recess appointments
made by President Bush during a recess within the second session of the 107^th^th^th
Congress or between the end of the 107 Congress and the beginning of the 108
Congress expire at the end of the first session of the 108^th Congress. Appendix C
provides a table showing the dates of the Senate recesses immediately before, during,
and immediately after the 107^th Congress.
Presidents have occasionally used the recess appointment power to circumvent
the confirmation process. In response, Congress has placed restrictions on the
President’s authority to make a recess appointment. Under 5 U.S.C. 5503(a), if the
position to which the President makes a recess appointment falls vacant while the
Senate is in session, the recess appointee may not be paid from the Treasury until he
or she is confirmed by the Senate. The salary prohibition does not apply: (1) if the
vacancy arose within 30 days before the end of the session; (2) if a nomination for
the office (other than the nomination of someone given a recess appointment during
the preceding recess) was pending when the Senate recessed; or (3) if a nomination
was rejected within 30 days before the end of the session and another individual was
given the recess appointment. A recess appointment falling under any one of these
three exceptions must be followed by a nomination to the position not later than 40
days after the beginning of the next session of the Senate. For this reason, when a
recess appointment is made, the President generally submits a new nomination for
the nominee even when an old nomination is pending.¹² In addition, although recess

appointees whose nominations to a full term are subsequently rejected by the Senate
may continue to serve until the end of their recess appointment, a provision of the
annual Treasury and General Government Appropriations Act may prevent them
from being paid after their rejection.¹³
Characterization of Regulatory and Other Collegial Bodies
Federal executive branch boards and commissions share the following
characteristics: (1) they are independent executive branch bodies located, with four
exceptions, outside executive departments;¹⁴ (2) several members head each entity;
(3) the members are appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the
Senate; and (4) the members serve fixed terms of office, and, except in a few bodies,
cannot be removed by the President except for cause.
The time between confirmation and the term-expiration date is often less than
the fixed term of office. A new member may be nominated and confirmed for a
position from which someone has resigned (or died) with an unexpired term or for
a position with a new term that is already underway. Occasionally, if the unexpired
term is for a very short period, two nominations of the same person are submitted
simultaneously — the first to complete the unexpired term and the second to
complete a regular term of office.
On some commissions, the chair is subject to Senate confirmation and must be
appointed from among the incumbent commissioners. If the President wishes to
appoint, as chair, someone who is not on the commission, two nominations are
submitted simultaneously for the nominee — one for member and the other for chair.
As independent entities with staggered membership, executive branch boards
and commissions have more political independence from the President than do
executive departments. Nonetheless, the President can sometimes exercise
significant influence over the composition of the membership when he designates the

¹³P.L. 107-67, sec. 609. The provision reads, “No part of any appropriation for the current
fiscal year contained in this or any other Act shall be paid to any person for the filling of any
position for which he or she has been nominated after the Senate has voted not to approve
the nomination of said person.” This provision has been part of this funding bill since at
least 1950.
¹⁴Exceptions are the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), located in the
Department of Energy (DOE); the Foreign Claims Settlement Commission (FCSC) and the
United States Parole Commission (USPC), both located in the Department of Justice (DOJ);
and the Surface Transportation Board (STB), located in the Department of Transportation
(DOT). The FERC’s enabling statute designates it as an independent entity in DOE. The
FCSC is designated as an independent entity within DOJ, with a specific provision that
decisions of the Commission shall not be subject to review by the Attorney General. The
enabling statutes of the STB and the USPC state only that they are located within their
respective departments.

chair or has the opportunity to fill a number of vacancies at once. For example,
President George W. Bush had the opportunity to shape the Securities and Exchange
Commission during the first two years of his presidency because of existing
vacancies, resignations, and the death of a member. Likewise, during the same time
period, President Bush was able to submit nominations for all of the positions on the
National Labor Relations Board because of existing vacancies, expiring recess
appointments, and resignations. Simultaneous turnover of board or commission
membership may sometimes result from coincidence. It may also sometimes be the
result of a buildup of vacancies after extended periods during which the President
fails to nominate, or the Senate fails to confirm, members.
There are two other notable characteristics of some of the boards and
commissions. First, on 24 of the regulatory and other collegial boards and
commissions, no more than a simple majority of the appointed members (e.g., two
of three, or three of five) may belong to the same political party. Second, six
organizations have confirmation requirements for either their inspector general or
their general counsel.
Organization of the Report
Board and Commission Profiles. Each of the 33 board or commission
profiles following the narrative portion of this report is organized into three sections:
organizational structure; current membership; and nominations and appointments.
The organizational section discusses the statutory requirements for the appointed
positions, including the number of members on each board or commission, their
terms of office, whether or not they may continue in their positions after their terms
expire, whether or not political balance is required, and the method for selection of
the chair.
Data¹⁵ on appointment actions during the 107^th Congress appear under both the
“Current Membership” section and the “Appointment Action” section, and are
current as of January 3, 2003. The “Current Membership” section identifies the
agency’s positions requiring Senate confirmation and the incumbents in those
positions. Incumbents whose terms have expired are italicized. Most of the
incumbents serve fixed terms of office and are removable only for specified causes.
They generally remain in office when a new administration assumes office following
a presidential election. For those agencies requiring political balance among their

¹⁵This report was compiled from data from the Senate nominations database of the
Legislative Information System [http://www.congress.gov/nomis/], the Congressional
Record (daily edition), the Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents, and telephone
discussions with agency officials. For similar reports for previous Congresses, see CRS

Boards and Commissions, 106 Congress, by Rogelio Garcia.

members, the political affiliation of an incumbent is listed as Democrat (D),
Republican (R), or Independent (I). The section also includes the pay levels of the
positions. For presidentially appointed positions requiring Senate confirmation, the
pay levels fall under the Executive Schedule, which ranges from level I for cabinet-
level offices, to level V for the lowest-ranked positions. Most of the chair positions
are at level III ($142,500), and most of the other positions are at level IV
($134,000).¹⁶
The “Appointment Action” section identifies the nominees, in chronological
order, the positions to which they were nominated, the dates of nomination, the dates
of confirmation, and the number of days taken for confirmation. Actions other than
confirmation (i.e., nominations rejected by the Senate, nominations returned to or
withdrawn by the President, and recess appointments) are also noted. Occasionally,
when a position is vacant and the unexpired term of office ends within a number of
weeks or months, two nominations for the same nominee are submitted, the first to
complete the unexpired term, and the second for a full term following completion of
the expired term. Also, when a nominee is awaiting Senate action and he or she is
given a recess appointment, a second, follow-up, nomination is usually submitted to
comply with the requirements of 5 U.S.C. 5503(b).
In tables that show more than one confirmed nomination, the mean number of
days to confirm a nomination is provided. This figure is determined by calculating
the number of days between the nomination and confirmation dates, adding these
numbers for all confirmed nominations, and dividing the result by the number of
nominations confirmed. This mean should be used cautiously. As discussed earlier,
the Senate took the unusual step of returning all nominations to the President prior
to the August 2001 recess. Many of those whose nominations were returned were re-
nominated after the recess. Consequently, these individuals were nominated twice,
and the time their first nominations were pending in the Senate is not included in the
calculation of the mean days to confirm a nomination. As a result, this mean time is
shorter than it would be otherwise.
Additional Appointment Information. Appendix A presents a table of all
appointees, alphabetically organized, and following a similar format to that of the
“Appointment Action” sections just discussed. It identifies the agency involved and
the dates of nomination and confirmation. The table also indicates if a nomination
was withdrawn, returned, or rejected, or if a recess appointment was made. The
mean number of days taken to confirm a nomination is calculated as described above,
and the same caution is advised. The table also shows the median, which is the
middle number when the “days to confirm” data for all the confirmed nominations
are arranged in numerical order.
Appendix B provides a table with summary information on appointments and
nominations by agency. For each of the 33 independent boards and commissions
discussed in this report, the table provides the number of positions, vacancies,

2002. Since 1998, the Attorney General has been required to make an annual report
to Congress indicating whether the commission should be abolished before the
phase-out date. (P.L. 104-232, as amended by P.L. 105-33, Title XI, sec. 11231(d),

111 Stat. 745, 18 U.S.C. 4202)

United States Sentencing Commission (USSC)
The USSC consists of seven members, all federal judges, appointed to six-year
terms, but only the chair and three vice chairs serve full-time. The chair is appointed,
subject to Senate confirmation; the vice chairs are designated by the President. No
more than four members may be of the same political party, and no more than two
of the vice chairs may be of the same political party. When a term expires, an
incumbent may continue to serve until a successor takes office. The Attorney
General or a designee serves ex officio. (28 U.S.C. 991(a))
