59 FR 35480: Supplemental Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, with the concurrence of the Office of Government Ethics (OGE), proposes to issue regulations for the employees of the Corporation which would supplement the Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch (Executive Branch-wide Standards) issued by OGE. The proposed rule is a necessary supplement to the Executive Branch-wide Standards and has been designed to address the specialized functions and operations of the Corporation. The proposed rule would establish: prohibitions on borrowing and extensions of credit; prohibitions on the ownership of certain financial interests; prohibitions on the purchase of property controlled by the Corporation or the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC); limitations on official dealings with former employers and clients; disqualification requirements relating to employment of family members outside the Corporation; and limitations on outside employment activities.
