4. USAF Product Support Managers (PSMs) Implementation Status cont • Trends/Concerns • Critical Acquisition Position (CAP) Requirement • GS-13s identified for PSM positions • OSD mandates positions be designated as CAP • SAF/AQH policy – GS-13 positions cannot be designated as CAP • Core Documents • Core docs for PSMs are in work but classification is a lengthy effort • Temporarily performing duties while awaiting classification • May not grade out as GS-14/GS-15 • LCL Level III • Not enough LCL level III certified people to meet this requirement • Waivers required • Resource Neutral • Fiscal constraints may hamper program implementation

5. USAF Product Support Managers (PSMs) Implementation Status • Risk Mitigation Plan • Work with classification to identify duties and structure organization to obtain desired grade • AFMC and AFSPC work with HAF to submit core doc for classification • Submit waivers for LCL III positions as needed • Identify training requirements • Remain resource neutral • Next Steps • Place permanent fills for the current temporary PSMs • AFSPC develop a guidance memorandum for PSM implementation • For ACAT III programs, the PM may accomplish product support functions of the PSM
