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 asks each agency to forward to OGE its annual letter stating whether its components that are currently designated should remain designated for purposes of 18 U.S.C. § 207(c). Any request to modify the existing list of components should be submitted in accordance with regulatory procedures.
OGE issues the final post-government employment rule, to be codified in 5 C.F.R. Part 2641.
OGE discusses the meaning of and the distinctions among the terms "particular matter involving specific parties," "particular matter," and "matter" as used in the criminal conflict of interest statutes and regulations.
OGE discusses the extent of its authority to waive the application of the one-year cooling-off period to a particular position or category of positions. OGE denied the request for a waiver to permit former senior employees to make representational contacts with current employees of their former agencies who happen to be on detail to another agency.
Under 18 U.S.C. § 207(a)(2) a matter was actually pending as a particular matter involving specific parties under a former employee's official responsibility before he terminated his position. A particular matter involving specific parties may be pending in an agency prior to the filing of an actual application for some kind of Federal action.
Employee was a senior employee by reason of 18 U.S.C. § 207(c)(2)(A)(i), because she was employed in a position paid under the Executive Schedule, despite continuing to receive pay under the SES. Therefore, her former agency under 18 U.S.C. § 207(c) and EO 12834 is all of the agency, as the component designation under section 207(h) doesn't apply.
OGE did not create an exception to 18 U.S.C. § 207(c) for a new director position within an agency because that agency did not provide sufficient evidence to show that the imposition of section 207(c) would cause undue hardship within the meaning of section 207(c)(2)(C)(i).
Eligible former senior employees may engage in representational activities before a component of their former department or agency if that component has been designated by the Director of OGE pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 207(h) as a separate agency or bureau within the department or agency.
OGE discusses the methodology of determining whether a person falls within the statutory definition of "senior employee" or "very senior employee" for the purposes of 18 U.S.C. § 207(c)-(d).
