Résumé

The Office of Government Ethics is removing superseded references to the former statutory honorarium bar from the executive branch regulations on standards of ethical conduct and financial disclosure. In addition, revisions to the standards of conduct regulation are being made to reflect statutory changes on procurement integrity and a new regulation on conflict-of-interest exemptions. Finally, OGE is removing outdated references in the standards of conduct regulation to certain grandfathered agency regulations, and making other minor updates to references and text.
