DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY


Conduct of Employees; Notice of Waiver Pursuant to Section 602(c) 
of the Department of Energy Organization Act (Pub. L. No. 95-91)

    Section 602(a) of the Department of Energy (``DOE'') Organization 
Act (Pub. L. No. 95-91, hereinafter referred to as the ``Act'') 
prohibits a ``supervisory employee'' (defined in section 601(a) of the 
Act) of the Department from knowingly receiving compensation from, 
holding any official relation with, or having any pecuniary interest in 
any ``energy concern'' (defined in section 601(b) of the Act).
    Section 602(c) of the Act authorizes the Secretary of Energy to 
waive the requirements of section 602(a) in cases where exceptional 
hardship would result, or where the interest is a pension, interest or 
other similarly vested interest.
    Mr. Notra Trulock, III is on assignment to the Department of Energy 
from the University of California under the terms of the 
Intergovernmental Personnel Act. He is serving as Director, Office of 
Energy Intelligence. In addition to his employment with the University 
of California, Mr. Trulock has benefit interests in the University of 
California. I have determined that requiring Mr. Trulock to sever his 
employment with the University of California and to terminate his 
benefit interests would be an exceptional hardship. Therefore, I have 
granted Mr. Trulock a waiver of the divestiture requirement of section 
602(a) of the Act with respect to his employment and benefit interests 
for the duration of his service as a supervisory employee with the 
Department.
    In accordance with section 208, title 18, United States Code, Mr. 
Trulock has been directed not to participate personally and 
substantially, as a Government employee, in any particular matter the 
outcome of which could have a direct and predictable effect upon the 
University of California, unless his appointing official determines 
that his financial interest in the particular matter is not so 
substantial as to be deemed likely to affect the integrity of the 
services which the Government may expect from Mr. Trulock.

Secretary of Energy.
