§ 2202.20 - Review procedures.

(a) The Chairman shall promptly review each initial and supplementary statement of employment and financial interests required by this part. No individual may enter on duty as a special Government employee if the Chairman determines that employment would be in conflict with the standard set forth in this part, or other applicable regulations, laws, or orders.

(b) Before the chairman disapproves a statement of employment and financial interests submitted by a regular or special Government employee, such employee must be given an opportunity to furnish such additional information as may be appropriate in considering the statement of employment and financial interests. If, after adequate investigation, he disapproves an employee's statement of employment and financial interests, he shall promptly notify the employee of the disapproval and recommend appropriate remedial action pursuant to § 2202.3. If the employee is unwilling or unable to take such action, the Chairman shall forthwith take appropriate action on such statements of employment and financial interests and shall initiate appropriate remedial action under § 2202.3 and other applicable laws, orders, and regulations. Pending any final determination with regard to an employee's statement of employment and financial interest, the Chairman shall relieve the employee of any duties which appear to conflict with a private interest or activity.
