OGE discusses definitions of "covered noncareer employee" under 5 C.F.R. § 2636.303(a)(4) and 5 C.F.R. § 2636.303(a)(3), as well as Schedule C appointment criteria.
OGE determined that the Executive Director of an agency was not a “covered noncareer employee” as defined in 5 C.F.R. § 2636.303(a). The Executive Director position was not a policy-making position nor did it involve a close and confidential working relationship with key appointed officials within the meaning of 5 C.F.R. § 213.3301.
OGE's amendments to the civil monetary penalties that may be imposed for certain violations of the Ethics in Government Act. affect the executive branchwide financial disclosure and outside employment regulations at 5 C.F.R. parts 2634 and 2636.
OGE summarizes ethics provisions that are relevant when an employee speaks at a private conference in an official or unofficial capacity, and comments on policy considerations that are relevant when an agency is deciding whether to provide an official speaker.
