Every four years, just after the presidential election, United
States Government Policy and Supporting Positions is published. It
is commonly known as the "Plum Book" and is alternately published
between the House and Senate. The Plum Book is a listing of over
9,000 civil service leadership and support positions (filled and
vacant) in the legislative and executive branches of the federal
government that may be subject to noncompetitive appointments, or
in other words by direct appointment. It is used to identify
presidentially appointed positions within the Federal Government.
These "plum" positions include agency heads and their immediate
subordinates, policy executives and advisors, and aides who report
to these officials. Many positions have duties which support
administration policies and programs. The people holding these
positions usually have a close and confidential relationship with
the agency head or other key officials. Positions in the Plum Book
include the following: Executive Schedule and salary-equivalent
positions paid at the rates established for Levels I through V of
the Executive Schedule. Senior Executive Service "General"
positions (i.e., those positions which may be filled by a career,
non-career, or limited appointment) Senior Foreign Service
positions Schedule C positions excepted from the competitive
service by the President, or by the Director, Office of Personnel
Management, because of the confidential or policy-determining
nature of the position duties Other confidential or
policy-determining positions at the GS-14 and above level excepted
from the competitive civil service by law because of the
confidential or policy-determining nature of the position duties
