Until the transfer of an agency to the Corporation under section 603, any official having authority over or functions relating to the agency immediately before the date of the enactment of this Act shall provide to the Corporation such assistance, including the use of personnel and assets, as the Corporation may request in preparing for the transfer and integration of the agency into the Corporation. During the transition period, upon the request of the Corporation, the head of any executive agency may, on a reimbursable basis, provide services or detail personnel to assist with the transition.

During the transition period, pending the advice and consent of the Senate to the appointment of an officer required by this Act to be appointed by and with such advice and consent, the President may designate any officer whose appointment was required to be made by and with such advice and consent and who was such an officer immediately before the date of the enactment of this Act (and who continues in office) or immediately before such designation, to act in such office until the same is filled as provided in this Act.

While so acting, such officers shall receive compensation at the higher of— the rates provided by this Act for the respective offices in which they act; or the rates provided for the offices held at the time of designation. Nothing in this Act shall be construed to require the advice and consent of the Senate to the appointment by the President to a position in the Corporation of any officer whose agency is transferred to the Corporation pursuant to this title and whose duties following such transfer are germane to those performed before such transfer.

Upon the transfer of an agency to the Corporation under section 603— the personnel, assets, and obligations held by or available in connection with the agency shall be transferred to the Corporation for appropriate allocation, subject to the approval of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget and in accordance with section 1531(a)(2) of title 31, United States Code; and the Corporation shall have all functions— relating to the agency that any other official could by law exercise in relation to the agency immediately before such transfer; and vested in the Corporation by this Act or other law.
