1. Summary of Applicable Law An employee cannot undertake an outside acHvliy lhat conflicts with the employee's official duties. An activity conflicts with official duties; (a) if It is prohibited by statute or regulation; or flj) It, under the standards in 5 CFR 2635.408 and 8635.502, it would require the employee's reousal from matters so centra) or critical lo the performance of his or her official duties that the employee's ability to perform the duties of his or her position would be materially Impaired- Such a reousal would Hkely arise where the outside activity involves a person or entity that Is regulated by, does business with, receives grants or other benefits from, or Is otherwise substantially Impacted by the programs, policies, and operations ol the employee's agency, and the employee riormally would be Involved personalty and substantially In such matters on a frequent basis or as a principal duty. In addition, an activity may be improper If the circumstances suggest lhat the employee received an outside business opportunity based on his or her official position or would create the appearance of using pubDc office tor the private gain of an outside entity. An employee also must endeavor to avoid any actions that create the appearance of a violation of law or the ethical standards. Special rules apply to activities involving fundrafeing, expert witness testimony, teaching. spaaklng, writing, or adding, and aclrvilles with foreign entities Certain categories ot employees, euch as those in FDA, NIH, and OSC. are subject to component specific rules on outside activities Refer to the Standards of Ethical Conduct, 5 CFR part 2635, subpart H, and thB HHS Supplemental Ethics Regulation, 5 CFR part 5501, 2.

APPROVAL OF AN OUTSIDE ACTIVITY DOES NOT RELEASE YOU FROM A CONTINUING LEGAL OBLIGATION TO DISQUALIFY YOURSELF FROM OFFICIAL ASSIGNMENTS AFFECTING YOUR OUTSIDE EMPLOYER OR THE ENTITY TO WHICH YOU ARE PROVIDING PERSONAL SERVICES. WHILE PERFORMING AN APPROVED OUTSIDE ACTIVITY, ANY ACTIONS TAKEN IN CONFLICT WITH APPLICABLE ETHICS LAWS MAY SUBJECT YOU TO CRIMINAL PROSECUTION OR DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDINGS. Caution. When you consult, leach, spaak, write, serve on a board, or work for a company, organization, or other entity outside your government Job, your relationship with that outside entity has certain legal and ethical consequences.ThB approval of an outside activity does not mean that you are free of conflicts of Interest. You must still follow all substantive ethics requirements after approval is granted. Consult the ethics regulations at 5 CFR 2635.802 and 5501.106(d)(5) which are reprinted below. Conlllcts Resolution. An approved HHS Form 520 does not signify that you need not be concerned about conflicts of Interest. Under the law, conflicts of Interest arising out of outside employment or service in a fiduciary position can be resolved In advance in only three ways: (1) you can inform your supervisor and disqualify yourself from participating in a conflicting government matter (often called a recusal); (2) you can seek, If certain legal requirements are satisfied, a separate legal document from your appointing official or designee that specifically permits you to work on the government matter (known as a waiver), or (3) you can resign from either your government or outside Job. Outside relationships that fall short of actual employment or a fiduciary role pose similar appearance concerns that must be addressed under procedures In 5 CFR 2635.502. Effect of Prior Approval. The outside activities prior approval process has very limited purposes. When a reviewer approves an HHS Form 520 for your outside activity, two fundamental assessments are being made, which are discussed below. You reasonably may rely on these specific determinations only if you provided all relevant Information on the iorm and the circumstances under review do not thereafter change. You remain responsible for the legal and ethical consequences of any change in personal or business affairs or a change in your government duties. First, based on the information which you provide, the reviewer determines whether your proposed activity Is plainly prohibited by applicable statutes or regulations, including the provisions of the ethical standards governing appearances of Impropriety. For example, il you want to lobby Federal agencies on behalf of a non-profit organization that employs you, prior approval will be denied because a criminal statute prohibits such representational activities. Second, assuming your proposed activity Is not specifically prohibited, the reviewer determines whether, under the circum stances, approval should be denied for other reasons specified under the law. For example, (he reviewer may deny approval if the facts show that you used your government position to obtain ah outside compensated business opportunity or II the activity would create the appearance that you are violating the law or the ethical standards. Another common reason for denying approval is that the outside activity may prevent you Irom handling work that Is expected of you Because the outside activity may cause you to have to disqualify yourself from a broad range of job assignments, or even a few crucial projects, that will affect your outside employer or the entity to which you provide personal services, It may be Impossible for you to discharge fully your government duties If, however, your outside activity Is approved, the reviewer has determined that the matters In which you will not be allowed to participate are not "so central or critical to the performance of Jyour] official duties" that your ability lo perform the duties of your position would be materially impaired. In other words, you cannot work on a government matter affecting your outside employer, but the reviewer expects that you will be able to stay away from these assignments and still do your Job. Recusal Obligations. When performing your Federal duties, you must not participate In any government matter that will affect your own self-interest In continuing your outside Job or activity. For example, you would have to disqualify yourself from participating in any official matter that might put your outside employer out of business or seriously affect Its finances, either positively or negatively, so that the odds of your remaining employed are also affected. In addition, when you work for an outside employer or serve in a fiduciary role with an organization, the financial interests of that company or organization are considered to be your own As a result, li the company or organization has a financial interest in how a government matter will be resolved, you cannot work on that matter, This means that you cannot work on a government matter that involves or affects your outside employer as a specific party, such as a contract, grant, audit, Investigation, or litigation, The law also requires you to stay away from government matters that are larger in scope, such as deliberations and decisions on developing, Implementing, or enforcing statutes, regulations, policies, studies, or proposals, that will have an elfect on a large class of employers like the one for which you work on the outside For example, If you were permitted to have an outside position as an employee ol a hospital, a drug company, or a nonprofit organization, you could not participate personally In any significant way in a policy decision that affects the financial interests of the Industry or organizational sector in which these employers operate. Under certain limited circum stances, a waiver tor such "particular matters of general applicability" can be considered, if you notify your appointing official In advance and receive a written determination. Outside relation ships that fall short of actual employment or a fiduciary role pose similar appearance concerns, but the recusal obligation is limited lo specific party matters. Scope of Recusal. Although many employees understand the need to disqualily themselves from participating in an official matter that affects their outside employer, they often believe erroneously that they can pick and choose among the various aspects of a particular matter and stay away only from the important decisions Such incomplete recusals will not protect you from a criminal conflict oi Interest violation- Unless a waiver, approved In advance, Identifies specific permitted activities, you must refrain entirely and absolutely from participating personally and substantially in a government matter that affects your own financial interest or that of an outside employer When you are involved significantly In proposing, planning, advising, deciding, or implementing some official action, and you do so individually or by actively directing subordinates, your participation is personal and substantial.

EXCERPTS FROM THE STANDARDS OF ETHICAL CONDUCT FOR EMPLOYEES OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH AND THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES SUPPLEMENTAL AGENCY ETHICS REGULATIONS: TITLE S CODE OF FE 2635,802 Conflicting outside employment and activities. An employee shall not engage In outside employment or any other outside activity that conflicts with his official duties. An activity confllcls with an employee's official duties: (a) II it Is prohibited by statute or by an agency supplemental regulation; or (b) If, under the standards set forth in 2635.402 and 2636 502, it would require the employee's disqualification from matters so central or critical to the performance of his official duties that the employee's ability to perform the duties of his position would be materially impaired Employees are cautioned that even though an ouiside activity may not be prohibited under this section, It may violate other principles or standards set forth in this part or require the employee to disqualify himself from participation In certain particular matters undBr ellher subpart D or subpart E of this part Example 1: An emptoyee of the Environmental Protection Agency has just been promoted. His principal duty in his new position Is to write regulations relating to the disposal of hazardous waste. The employee may not continue to serve as president of a nonprofit environmental organization thai rouilnely submits comments on suoh regulations. His service as an officer would require his disqualification from duties criilcal to the performance of his official duties on a basis so frequent as to materially impair his ability to perform the duties of his position Example 2s An employee of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration who was and is expected again to be instrumental In formulating new OSHA safety standards applicable to manufacturers that use chemical solvents has been offered a consulling contract to provide advice to ah affeoted company in restructuring its manufacturing operations to comply with the OSHA standards. The employee should not enter Into the consulting arrangement even though he Is not currently working on OSHA standards affecting this industry and his consulting contract can be expeoted to be completed before he again works on such standards. Even though the consulting arrangement would not be a conflicting activity within the meaning of 2635 802, It would create an appearance that the employee had used his official position to obtain the compensated outside business opportunity and it would create the further appearance of using his public office for the private gain of the manufacturer =RAL REGULATIONS 5S01-106(d)(0) Standard for approval. Approval shall be granted only upon a determination that the ouiside employment or oiher outside activity is not expected to involve conduct prohibited by statute or Federal regulation, including 5 CFR part 2635 and this part. Note* The granting of approval for an outside activity does not relieve the employee of the obllgaUon to abide by all applicable laws governing employee conduct nor does approval constitute a sanction of any violation. Approval Involves an assessment that the general activity as described on the submission does not appear likely to violate any criminal statutes or other ethics rules. Employees are reminded that during the course of an otherwise approvable activity, situations may arise, or actions may be contemplated, that, nevertheless, pose ethical concerns. Example 1: A clerical employee with a degree in library science volunteers to work on the acquisitions committee at a local public library, Serving on a panel that renders advice'to a non-Federal entity is subject to prior approval. Because recommending books for the library collection normally would not pose a conflict wRh the typing duties assigned the emptoyee, the request would be approved. Example 2: While serving on the library acquisitions committee, the clerical employee in the preceding example is asked to help the library business office locale a missing book order. Shipment of the order Is delayed because the publisher has declared bankruptcy and its assets, including inventory in the warehouse, have been frozen to satisfy the claims of the Infernal Revenue Service and other creditors- The employee may not contact the Federal bankruptcy trustee to seek, on behalf ol the public library, the release ol the books. Even though the employee's service on the acquisitions committee had been approved, a criminal statute, 18 US,C. 205, would preclude any representation by a Federal employee of an outside entity before a Federal court or agency with respect to a matter In which the United States Is a party or has a direct and substantial interest.

1. Summary of Applicable Law

An employee cannot undertake an outside activity that conflicts with the employee's official duties. An activity conflicts with official duties: (a) if it is prohibited by statute or regulation; or (b) If. under the standards in 5 CFR 2635 402 and 2635 502. it would require the employee's recusai from matters so central or critical to the performance of his or her official duties that the employee's ability to perform the duties of his or her position would be materially Impaired Such a recusai would likely arise where the outside activity involves a person or entity that is regulated by. does business with, receives grants or other benefits from, or is otherwise substantially impacted by the programs, policies, and operations of the employee's agency, and Ihe employee normally would be involved personally and substantially in such matters on a frequent basis or as a principal duly In addition, an activity may be improper if ihe circumstances suggest that the employee received an outside business opportunity based on his or her oflicial position or would create the appearance of using public olflce for the private gain of an outsldo entity An employee also must endeavor to avoid any actions that create the appearance of a violation of law or Ihe ethical standards Special rules apply to activities involving fundralslng, expert witness testimony, teaching, speaking, writing, or editing, and activities with foreign entities Certain categories ol employees, such as those in FDA, NIH. and OGC, are subject to component specific rules on oulside activities Refer to the Standards of Ethical Conduct. 5 CFR part 2635. subpart H, and Ihe HHS Supplemental Ethics Regulation. 5 CFR part 5501

APPROVAL OF AN OUTSIDE ACTIVITY DOES NOT RELEASE YOU FROM A CONTINUING LEGAL OBLIGATION TO DISQUALIFY YOURSELF FROM OFFICIAL ASSIGNMENTS AFFECTING YOUR OUTSIDE EMPLOYER OR THE ENTITY TO WHICH YOU ARE PROVIDING PERSONAL SERVICES. WHILE PERFORMING AN APPROVED OUTSIDE ACTIVITY, ANY ACTIONS TAKEN IN CONFLICT WITH APPLICABLE ETHICS LAWS MAY SUBJECT YOU TO CRIMINAL PROSECUTION OR DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDINGS. Caution. When you consult, teach, speak, write, serve on a board, or work for a company, organization, or other entity outside your government job, your relationship with that outside entity has certain legal and ethical consequences. The approval of an outside activity does not mean that you are free of conflicts of interest You must still follow all substantive ethics requirements after approval is granted Consult the ethics regulations at 5 CFR 2635 802 and 5501.106(d)(5) which are reprinted below Conflicts Resolution. An approved HHS Form 520 does not signify that you need not be concerned about conflicts of interest Under the law, conflicts of interest arising out of outside employment or service in a fiduciary position can be resolved in advance in only three ways: (1) you can inform your supervisor and disqualify yourself from participating in a conflicting government matter (often called a recusal); (2) you can seek, if certain legal requirements are satisfied, a separate legal document from your appointing official or designee that specifically permits you to work on the government matter (known as a waiver), or (3) you can resign from either your government or outside job Outside relationships that fall short of actual employment or a fiduciary role pose similar appearance concerns that must be addressed under procedures in 5 CFR 2635.502. Effect of Prior Approval. The outside activities prior approval process has very limited purposes When a reviewer approves an HHS Form 520 for your outside activity, two fundamental assessments are being made, which are discussed below You reasonably may rely on these specific determinations only if you provided all relevant information on the form and the circumstances under review do not thereafter change. You remain responsible for the legal and ethical consequences of any change in personal or business affairs or a change in your government duties. First, based on the information which you provide, the reviewer determines whether your proposed activity is plainly prohibited by applicable statutes or regulations, including the provisions of the ethical standards governing appearances of Impropriety For example, if you want to lobby Federal agencies on behalf of a non-profit organization that employs you, prior approval will be denied because a criminal statute prohibits such representational activities. Second, assuming your proposed activity is not specifically prohibited, the reviewer determines whether, under the circum stances, approval should be denied for other reasons specified under the law. For example, the reviewer may deny approval if the facts show that you used your government position to obtain an outside compensated business opportunity or if the activity would create the appearance that you are violating the law or the ethical standards. Another common reason for denying approval is that the outside activity may prevent you from handling work that is expected of you Because the outside activity may cause you to have to disqualify yourself from a broad range of job assignments, or even a few crucial projects, that will affect your outside employer or the entity to which you provide personal services, it may be impossible for you to discharge fully your government duties If, however, your outside activity is approved, the reviewer has determined that the matters in which you will not be allowed to participate are not "so central or critical to the performance of [your] official duties" that your ability to perform the duties of your position would be materially impaired. In other words, you cannot work on a government matter affecting your outside employer, but the reviewer expects that you will be able to stay away from these assignments and still do your job Recusal Obligations. When performing your Federal duties, you must not participate in any government matter that will affect your own self-interest in continuing your outside job or activity For example, you would have to disqualify yourself from participating in any official matter that might put your outside employer out of business or seriously affect its finances, either positively or negatively, so that the odds of your remaining employed are also affected In addition, when you work for an outside employer or serve in a fiduciary role with an organization, the financial Interests of that company or organization are considered to be your own As a result, If the company or organization has a financial interest In how a government matter will be resolved, you cannot work on that matter This means that you cannot work on a government matter that involves or affects your outside employer as a specific party, such as a contract, grant, audit, investigation, or litigation The law also requires you to stay away from government matters that are larger In scope, such as deliberations and decisions on developing, implementing, or enforcing statutes, regulations, policies, studies, or proposals, that will have an effect on a large class of employers like the one for which you work on the outside. For example, if you were permitted to have an outside position as an employee of a hospital, a drug company, or a nonprofit organization, you could not participate personally in any significant way in a policy decision that affects the financial interests of the industry or organizational sector in which these employers operate Under certain limited circum stances, a waiver for such "particular matters of general applicability" can be considered, if you notify your appointing official in advance and receive a written determination. Outside relation ships that fall short of actual employment or a fiduciary role pose similar appearance concerns, but the recusal obligation Is limited to specific party matters Scope of Recusal. Although many employees understand the need to disqualify themselves from participating in an official matter that affects their outside employer, they often believe erroneously that they can pick and choose among the various aspects of a particular matter and stay away only from the important decisions. Such incomplete recusais will not protect you from a criminal conflict of interest violation. Unless a waiver, approved in advance, identifies specific permitted activities, you must refrain entirely and absolutely from participating personally and substantially in a government matter that affects your own financial interest or that of an outside employer. When you are involved significantly in proposing, planning, advising, deciding, or Implementing some official action, and you do so individually or by actively directing subordinates, your participation Is personal and substantial

NOTICES (continued) EXCERPTS FROM THE STANDARDS OF ETHICAL CONDUCT FOR EMPLOYEES OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH AND THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES SUPPLEMENTAL AGENCY ETHICS REGULATIONS: TITLE 5 CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS 2635.802 Conflicting outside employment and activities. An employee shall not engage in outside employment or any other outside activity that conflicts with his official duties, An activity conflicts with an employee's official duties: (a) If it Is prohibited by statute or by an agency supplemental regulation; or (b) If, under the standards set forth in 2635.402 and 2635.502, it would require the employee's disqualification from matters so central or critical to the performance of his official duties that the employee's ability to perform the duties of his position would be materially impaired. Employees are cautioned that even though an outside activity may not be prohibited under this section, ft may violate other principles or standards set forth in this part or require the employee to disqualify himself from participation in certain particular matters under either subpart D or subpart E of this part. Example 1: An employee of the Environmental Protection Agency has just been promoted. His principal duty in his new position is to write regulations relating to the disposal of hazardous waste. The employee may not continue to serve as president of a nonprofit environmental organization that routinely submits comments on such regulations., His service as an officer would require his disqualification from duties critical to the performance of his official duties on a basis so frequent as to materially impair his ability to perform the duties of his position Example 2: An employee of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration who was and is expected again to be instrumental in formulating new OSHA safety standards applicable to manu facturers that use chemical solvents has been offered a consulting contract to provide advice to an affected company In restructuring its manufacturing operations to comply with the OSHA standards The employee should not enter into the consulting arrangement even though he Is not currently working on OSHA standards affecting this industry and his consulting contract can be expected to be completed before he again works on such standards. Even though the consulting arrangement would not be a conflicting activity within the meaning of 2635.802, it would create an appearance that the employee had used his official position to obtain the compensated outside business opportunity and it would create the further appearance of using his public office for the private gain of the manufacturer. 5501.106(d)(5) Standard for approval. Approval shall be granted only upon a determination that the outside employment or other outside activity Is not expected to involve conduct prohibited by statute or Federal regulation, including 5 CFR part 2635 and this part, Note: The granting of approval for an outside activity does not relieve the employee of the obligation to abide by all applicable laws governing employee conduct nor does approval constitute a sanction of any violation. Approval involves an assessment that the general activity as described on the submission does not appear likely to violate any criminal statutes or other ethics rules. Employees are reminded that during the course of an otherwise approvable activity, situations may arise, or actions may be contemplated, that, nevertheless, pose ethical concerns. Example 1 : A clerical employee with a degree In library science volunteers to work on the acquisitions committee at a local public library. Serving on a panel that renders advice to a non-Federal entity is subject to prior approval. Because recommending books for the library collection normally would not pose a conflict with the typing duties assigned the employee, the request would be approved Example 2: While serving on the library acquisitions committee, the clerical employee in the preceding example is asked to help the library business office locate a missing book order. Shipment of the order is delayed because the publisher has declared bankruptcy and its assets, Including Inventory in the warehouse, have been frozen to satisfy the claims of the Internal Revenue Service and other creditors. The employee may not contact the Federal bankruptcy trustee to seek, on behalf of the public library, the release of the books Even though the employee's service on the acquisitions committee had been approved, a criminal statute, 18 U.SC 205, would preclude any representation by a Federal employee of an outside entity before a Federal court or agency with respect to a matter in which the United States is a party or has a direct and substantial interest
