§ 1152.735-404 - Employees not required to submit statements.

(a) Employees in positions that meet the criteria in § 1152.735-402(b) may be excluded from the reporting requirement when the Chair determines that:

(1) The duties of a position are such that the likelihood of the incumbent's involvement in a conflict-of-interest situation is remote;

(2) The duties of a position are at such a level of responsibility that the submission of a statement of employment and financial interests is not necessary because of the degree of supervision and review over the incumbent or the inconsequential effect on the integrity of the Government;

(3) The use of an alternative procedure approved by the Board is adequate to prevent possible conflicts of interest.

(b) Federal members and the Designated Agency Ethics Official are subject to separate reporting requirements under the Ethics in Government Act of 1978, Pub. L. 95-521. The Designated Agency Ethics Official shall obtain and review a copy of the financial statement filed by Federal members with their respective agency. The Office of Government Ethics will review the financial statement filed by the Designated Agency Ethics Official.
