54 FR 53310: Employee Responsibilities and Conduct; New Office of Government Ethics Regulation Preserving Certain Executive Agency Gifts Regulations

December 28, 1989

The Office of Government Ethics (OGE), with concurrence of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), is issuing a final rule under 5 U.S.C. 7351 and 7353, as amended and enacted, respectively, by the Ethics Reform Act of 1989 (Pub. L. 101-194). The new OGE regulation, 5 CFR 2635.101, preserves existing executive branch agency regulations promulgated under 5 CFR 735.202 (gifts, entertainment, and favors), including exceptions to the regular gifts restrictions. Section 2635.101 and the agency regulations referred to will remain in effect until superseded by revised overall standards of conduct for the executive branch to be issued by the Office of Government Ethics. In the meantime, no such new or revised executive agency gifts regulations will be permitted.
