Which factor determines the form of the performance report?

• A. Past performance awards
• B. The ratee's grade or projected grade on the static close-out date
• C. Time in service
• D. Rater's personal preference

Answer: (B)

The form used for a performance report is determined by the ratee’s grade or projected grade on the static close-out date. Different grades have distinct duties, responsibilities, and evaluation standards, so selecting the correct form depends on the rank the member is at (or projected to be) on that fixed date. This ensures the report applies the appropriate criteria and structure for the anticipated duties at that grade. Past awards, time in service, or the rater’s preference aren’t factors in choosing the form.
