MEMORANDUM
TO: Designated Agency Ethics Officials
FROM: F. Gary Davis
Acting Director
SUBJECT: Availability of Two Electronically Fillable Versions
of the Confidential Financial Disclosure Report
(OGE Form 450)
The Office of Government Ethics (OGE) has made two
electronically fillable versions of the OGE Form 450 available on our
Web site. With the first version of the form, developed using
commercial off the shelf software, the filer can electronically
complete, print, and save the data using the filler/reader software
we have licensed from the software company, and that we are also
providing free on our Web site. Again, please note, there is no
software or licensing cost to the users of this program and the OGE
Form 450 template.
Additionally, we are providing another electronically fillable
version of the OGE Form 450 in the Adobe Portable Document Format
(PDF). This version has been programmed to enable users to
electronically fill out this form and print it using the free Adobe
reader software, available through a link from our Web site.
However, for those who wish to save their data as well as the form,
they must have access to the Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Business Tools
software, which must be purchased from commercial vendors.
Detailed instructions on how to download and use the forms and
associated software is available on our Web site at
www.usoge.gov/usoge006.html#ogeforms. We will continue to make
improvements on these electronic versions of our forms and welcome
any comments or suggestions that you think may help us in this
effort. You may send your comments via e-mail to e-forms@oge.gov.
We will also be making electronically fillable versions of the
Public Financial Disclosure Report (SF 278) available on our Web
site within the next few weeks, and will issue another DAEOgram at
that time advising you of their availability.
