Page 7586 9901.406(e) should be modified to read as follows: “Supervisors must involve employees in the development of performance expectations, and fully consider input and feedback from employees regarding the appropriate performance expectations for each position. However, final decisions regarding performance expectations are within the discretion of the agency, subject to the requirement that performance expectations for employees in the same occupational series and pay band will be similar. Employees will not be held responsible for performance expectations until they have been clearly and expressly communicated. Supervisors must meet with employees at the beginning of the appraisal period, and frequently during the appraisal period, to discuss performance expectations and changes in priorities or expectations during the appraisal year.”
