Semiannual Regulatory Agenda, October 1995

AGENCY: Office of Government Ethics.

ACTION: Semiannual agenda of regulations.

_______________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY: The following Office of Government Ethics (OGE) substantive 
and procedural regulations are scheduled for development or review 
during the period from October 1, 1995, through September 30, 1996. 
This agenda fulfills OGE's responsibility to publish a semiannual 
regulatory agenda under Executive Order 12866 ``Regulatory Planning and 
Review'' and has been prepared in accordance with guidance received 
from the Office of Management and Budget. None of the OGE regulations 
in this October 1995 agenda will have a significant economic impact on 
a substantial number of small entities as defined under the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. chapter 6. In addition, none of the listed 
OGE regulatory actions is procurement-related. Furthermore, the Office 
of Government Ethics rulemakings are not included in The Regulatory 
Plan.

    This publication in the Federal Register does not impose a 
binding obligation on the Office of Government Ethics with respect 
to any particular item on its agenda. The dates shown for the 
future steps of each action are estimates and not commitments to 
act by the date shown. Moreover, other OGE regulatory actions, in 
addition to the entries listed, are not precluded.

separate provision (not yet effective) of the regulation will govern

1978); EO 12674; EO 12731

CFR Citation:  5 CFR 2640 (New)

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Proposed regulation will interpret section 208(a) of title 
18, U.S.C., which prohibits officers and employees of the executive 
branch from officially participating personally and substantially in a 
particular matter in which there is a personal financial interest or a 
financial interest of a related person or organization (absent a waiver 
under 18 U.S.C. 208(b)). It will also list and describe interests which 
are considered to be too remote or too inconsequential to affect the 
integrity of the services of executive branch officers or employees, in 
accordance with 18 U.S.C. 208(b)(2). Such interests will be exempt from 
the restrictions of 18 U.S.C. 208(a), generally requiring 
disqualification. The proposed regulation will also provide guidance to 
executive branch agencies as to the kinds of interests that are not so 
substantial as to be deemed likely to affect the integrity of the 
services the Government may expect from an employee and which, 
therefore, may be waived from the general rule of disqualification 
under 18 U.S.C. 208(a) pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 208(b)(1). In addition, 
guidance will be provided concerning the issuance of waivers to special 
Government employee advisory committee members pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 
208(b)(3). A separate interim final rule has been published exempting 
certain Financial interests arising from Federal Government executive 
branch employment as well as from Social Security or veterans' 
benefits, from the general prohibition in Section 208(a).

Abstract: Interpretive regulation giving guidance for the executive

U.S.C. 207, which became effective January 1, 1991, pursuant to title I

Register; such designations are periodically updated by the Office of 
Government Ethics. The Office of Governments Ethics also has continued 
to publish in the CFR the interpretive regulation, 5 CFR part 2637 (but 
now without the no-longer-effective former Senior Employee and old 
agency component designation listings), under the lifetime bar of the 
prior version of the post-employment law which still applies to 
executive branch employees who left the Government before January 1, 
1991. Once a complete current post-employment law regulation is 
published, the old part 2637 regulation will be removed from the CFR.

3976. FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE, QUALIFIED TRUSTS, AND CERTIFICATES OF 
DIVESTITURE FOR EXECUTIVE BRANCH EMPLOYEES

Priority:  Other Significant

Legal Authority:  5 USC app (Ethics in Government Act of 1978); 26 USC 
1043; EO 12674; EO 12731

CFR Citation:  5 CFR 2634

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: Regulation revising the executive branch public and 
confidential financial disclosure report systems for high-level 
officials and certain mid-level employees, respectively, in light of 
the changes to the Ethics in Government Act effected by the Ethics 
Reform Act of 1989 (Pub. L. 101-194), as amended. These disclosure 
provisions apply to public reports filed since January 1, 1991. Subpart 
I of the regulation, effective October 5, 1992, superseded prior 
executive branchwide and agency-specific regulations and established a 
revised system of confidential reporting, modeled generally on the 
public reporting system, for executive branch agency mid-level 
employees with sensitive duties and special Government employees.
