Conduct of Employees and Former Employees; Exemption From Post-Employment Restrictions for Communications; Furnishing Scientific or Technological Information

Samenvatting

The Department of Energy (DOE) today issues a proposed rule to establish procedures under which a former employee of the executive branch may obtain approval from DOE to make communications to DOE solely for the purpose of furnishing scientific or technological information during the period the former employee is subject to post- employment restrictions set forth in 18 U.S.C. 207(a), (c), and (d). The proposed rule also would further define the term "scientific or technological information," for which an exemption is provided by 18 U.S.C. 207(j)(5).
