Sec. 430.305  Planning and communicating performance.

    (a) Each senior executive must have a performance plan that 
describes the individual and organizational expectations for the 
appraisal period and sets the requirements against which performance 
will be evaluated. Supervisors must develop performance plans in 
consultation with senior executives and communicate the plans to them on 
or before the beginning of the appraisal period.
    (b) Senior executive performance plan requirements:
    (1) Critical elements. At a minimum, plans must describe the 
critical elements of the senior executive's work and any other relevant 
performance elements. Elements must reflect individual and 
organizational performance.
    (2) Performance requirements. At a minimum, plans must describe the 
level of performance expected for fully successful performance of the 
executive's work. These are the standards against which the senior 
executive's performance will be appraised.
    (3) Link with strategic planning initiatives. Critical elements and 
performance requirements for each senior executive must be consistent 
with the goals and performance expectations in the agency's strategic 
planning initiatives.
