ADMINISTRATIVE CONFERENCE OF THE UNITED STATES

 

Proposed Information Collection Request Submitted to OMB

AGENCY: Administrative Conference of the United States.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Administrative Conference of the United States has 
submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for approval a 
proposed version of a confidential disclosure form to be submitted by 
those individuals from the private sector who are members of the 
Administrative Conference. This form is a substitute for Standard Form 
450 issued by the Office of Government Ethics that such members would 
otherwise be required to file.

DATES: Comments on this proposal should be received by March 31, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent to Gary J. Edles, General Counsel 
and Designated Agency Ethics Officer, Administrative Conference of the 
United States, 2120 L Street NW., Washington, DC 20037.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gary J. Edles, General Counsel and 
Designated Agency Ethics Officer, Administrative Conference of the 
United States, 2120 L Street NW., Washington, DC 20037. Telephone: 
(202) 254-7020. A copy of the Administrative Conference's request for 
approval from OMB, including the proposed form, can be obtained from 
Susan Mack, at the above address and telephone number.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Administrative Conference of the United 
States (ACUS) is a federal agency that is also a federal advisory 
committee under the terms of the Federal Advisory Committee Act. 
Members of ACUS from the private sector are deemed to be special 
government employees within the meaning of 18 U.S.C. 202(a) and, 
therefore, are subject to confidential financial disclosure 
requirements of the Ethics in Government Act, 5 U.S.C. App. 107, and 
implementing regulations issued by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics 
(OGE), 5 CFR Part 2634, Subpart I. The proposed form is a substitute 
for OGE Standard Form 450 that Administrative Conference members 
otherwise would be required to file. It was approved by the Director of 
the Office of Government Ethics following a determination by the ACUS 
Chairman, pursuant to 5 CFR 2634.905 (a), that greater disclosure by 
public members is not required because the duties of a member make 
remote the possibility that a real or apparent conflict of interest 
will occur. As required by the Ethics in Government Act, 5 U.S.C. App. 
107(a); Executive Order 12674, 201(d); and OGE regulations, 5 CFR 
2634.901(d), this form is confidential and required to be withheld from 
the public. As the OGE regulations make clear, section 107(a) of the 
Ethics in Government Act leaves no discretion on this issue with the 
Administrative Conference.

    Dated: February 22, 1994.
Gary J. Edles,
General Counsel.
