Supplemental Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Department of Homeland Security

Краткое содержание

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), with the concurrence of the Office of Government Ethics (OGE), is proposing supplemental standards of ethical conduct for DHS employees. The proposed regulations would supplement the OGE Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch (OGE Standards) and, among other things, would set forth employee restrictions on the purchase of certain Government-owned property, require employees to report allegations of waste, fraud, and abuse, require employees to seek prior approval for certain outside employment and activities, prohibit employees in some DHS components from engaging in certain types of outside employment and activities, require designated components to develop instructions regarding the procedures for obtaining prior approval for outside employment and activities, and designate components within DHS as a separate agency for purposes of determining whether the donor of a gift is a "prohibited source" and of identifying an employee's agency for the regulations governing teaching, speaking, and writing.
