Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

The filer's explanations (Part III)

PART I, LINE 3
METHODS USED BY RELATED ORGANIZATION TO ESTABLISH COMPENSATION THE COMPENSATION OF THE USO'S CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER LISTED ON FORM 990, PART VII AND SCHEDULE J IS ESTABLISHED BY THE USO BOARD OF GOVERNORS AFTER AN INDEPENDENT, OUTSIDE REVIEW OF INDUSTRY SURVEYS, COMPENSATION STUDIES AND OTHER DATA. THIS PROCESS ENSURES THAT EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION IS WITHIN THE RANGE OF THAT PAID TO COMPARABLE EXECUTIVES OF COMPARABLE ORGANIZATIONS FOR COMPARABLE SERVICES AND IS THEREFORE REASONABLE. REVIEWS ARE PERFORMED ON A BIANNUAL BASIS BY AN INDEPENDENT OUTSIDE CONSULTANT. THE LAST REVIEW WAS PERFORMED IN 2022 AND COMPENSATION WAS FOUND TO BE WITHIN THE RANGE FOR COMPARABLE EXECUTIVES AT COMPARABLE ORGANIZATIONS.

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
