This question comes up a lot for our scientists who work on Task II effort under the NOAA CIESRDS Cooperative Agreement.  Many scientists have difficulty deciding if they should list the support they have received through Task II.  If someone is not listed as senior personnel on the NOAA CIESRDS Cooperative Agreement with committed time, then in general that effort is not committed effort, and is not required to be listed in the Current and Pending. But if someone feels strongly that they have definitely committed and been guaranteed specific support for a specific project on the Cooperative Agreement then they can list that specific portion on their C&P.  So for example, If a Task II project supervisor has guaranteed person X a certain number of months on a TASK II project for a specific effort, and person X has committed that they will provide that effort for those specific months, and that effort has to be completed by Person X, then that would be a situation where Person X (should for NSF / and could for NOAA or NASA) state those months as committed effort on a C&P. But even for NSF, most of the time, employees working on TASK II do not have to reference the Cooperative Agreement on their C&Ps.
