As required by 5 U.S.C. §3109(e), you must report the days worked by and the amounts paid to each expert and consultant under the authority of 5 U.S.C. §3109 in calendar year 2009.  When submitting your report, please use OPM Form 1623 (List of Experts and Consultants Hired Under 5 U.S.C. §3109, May 2008 version) to report to OPM the number of days worked, and gross pay of each covered employee.  The form is located at http://www.opm.gov/forms/pdf_fill/OPM1623.pdf.  A negative reply is not required if your agency did not hire experts and consultants during the 2009 calendar year.  Please send the report to:
