Section 1128 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2004 (Pub. L. 108–136, 5 U.S.C. 7101 note) requires executive agencies to conduct an annual employee survey and directs the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to issue regulations prescribing the survey questions that must appear on all agency surveys to allow for comparison across agencies. The survey is the instrument through which agencies meet the statutory requirement to assess (1) leadership and management practices that contribute to agency performance and (2) employee satisfaction with leadership policies and practices, the work environment, rewards and recognition for professional accomplishment and personal contributions to achieving the organizational mission, opportunity for professional development and growth, and opportunity to contribute to achieving the organizational mission. The OPM implemented this requirement through regulations at 5 CFR part 250, subpart C, to provide comparable governmentwide data and centrally administered the annual survey, the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FEVS), on behalf of agencies. Agencies participating in the FEVS satisfy the annual employee survey requirement by including the prescribed core survey questions, while retaining limited flexibility to add agency-specific items consistent with OPM guidance. The Federal Trade Commission is seeking to use the core survey questions but not any agency-specific questions.
