Supplemental Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the General Services Administration

Resumo

The General Services Administration, with the concurrence of the Office of Government Ethics (OGE), is issuing a regulation for GSA employees that supplements the Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch. The supplemental regulation generally, with certain exceptions, prohibits solicited sales to subordinates by GSA employees; prohibits the purchase of property sold by GSA; prohibits the purchase of real estate by certain GSA employees; prohibits the taking and disposal of Government property; requires employees to obtain approval before engaging in certain outside employment; and identifies appropriate officials to whom waste, fraud, abuse and corruption are to be reported. The General Services Administration (GSA) is also removing its old standards of conduct regulations from the Code of Federal Regulations (certain provisions which have not been superseded are being reissued in an internal GSA order) and inserting in their place a cross-reference to the new provisions and to applicable executive branch-wide standards of ethical conduct, as well as to applicable financial disclosure regulations.
