Complexity of function will be broad based encompassing all areas of each division's responsibilities and is increased over that of Level IV due to the additional responsibility inherent in the oversight of multiple divisions.

Incumbents at this level will represent the agency in outside contacts, and develop and establish general policies and procedures for the divisions to follow.
