The Legal Advisories page contains the DAEOgrams on substantive ethics issues published by OGE from 1992 to 2010, the Advisory Opinions published by OGE from 1979 to 2010, and the Legal Advisories, which OGE began publishing in 2011.
OGE addresses questions about how to apply Paragraph 2 of the Ethics Pledge in Executive Order 13490 to an appointee who gives an official speech at an event sponsored by a former employer or client. OGE also addresses the question of whether the Pledge applies to detailees under the IPA.
OGE identifies the categories of officials who must sign the Ethics Pledge required by Executive Order 13490 and those who are not required to sign.
The final rule clarifies that detailees to an agency from a State or local government or other organization, under the Intergovernmental Personnel Act (IPA), 5 U.S.C. § 3374, are covered by the Standards.
The proposed rule would clarify that detailees to an agency from a State or local government or other organization, under the Intergovernmental Personnel Act (IPA), 5 U.S.C. § 3374, are covered by the Standards.
Detailees under the IPA who occupy positions that fit one of the categories in section 101 of the Ethics in Government Act (or that are of "equal classification" with those positions) are required to file public financial disclosure reports. Agencies may require other detailees to file confidential financial disclosure reports.
A senior employee is still considered a senior employee of his agency for the purposes of 18 U.S.C. § 207(c) while on home leave. In addition, a senior employee on detail to an agency from his home agency is considered a senior employee of both agencies for the purpose of 18 U.S.C. § 207(c).
The extent to which ethics laws and regulations apply to public-private exchange participants often depends on whether those persons are considered "employees" of the Federal Government.
Intergovernmental Personnel Act (IPA) assignments must be reviewed to make sure they are consistent with applicable conflict of interest restrictions.
The conclusion in this opinion was modified by amendments to the Intergovernmental Personnel Act (IPA). See AO 02x11 for current discussion of application of conflict of interest laws to detailees from state and local governments.
This list is open only to federal government employees.
