MEMORANDUM

TO:      Designated Agency Ethics Officials

FROM:    Stephen D. Potts
         Director

SUBJECT: Update of Listing of Executive Branch Agency Officials
         Subject to Annual Public Financial Disclosure Report
         Filing with the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) for
         CY 1994  
 
    Title I of the Ethics in Government Act of 1978, as amended,
requires annual public financial disclosure reports to be filed
with the appropriate department or agency no later than May 15.

    Attached is a list of the names and positions of Presidential
appointees confirmed by the Senate (PAS), and Designated Agency
Ethics Officials (DAEOs) who were required to submit either an
annual or new entrant SF 278 for CY 1993 to this Office for final
review and certification.  The list also includes PAS officials who
worked less than 60 days in CY 1993 and were not required to
complete an annual report covering that year.

    Please annotate this list to reflect any changes to (additions
or deletions) the officials named or positions identified.  For
example, please note whether an official has terminated or
transferred from the position and the termination or transfer date. 
For transfers, please indicate whether the official transferred
within 30 days to another covered position (PAS or non-PAS)
requiring SF 278 reporting.  If not, a termination report is 
required within 30 days of the transfer.  In addition, please
indicate which officials did not work more than 60 days in CY 1994
and are not required to file an annual report.  Conversely, please
add to the list the names of any PAS special Government employees
who actually worked in excess of 60 days in CY 1994 at a rate of
pay equivalent to 120 percent of GS-15, step 1, which was $79,931
in CY 1994.

    Please return the list, as annotated, to this Office by 
May 12, 1995.

    The annual SF 278s for the PAS officials and DAEOs identified
on this list should be submitted to OGE as soon as approved by the
department or agency, but not later than September 15, 1995.  This
date allows for agency review and approval of the reports and takes
into account any possible filing extensions.  In instances where
the report cannot be approved by the agency and submitted to this
Office by September 15, due to pending resolution of a conflict of
interest, or the need for additional information or clarification,
we ask that you notify us, in writing, by September 15, of the
names and positions of the officials involved, the nature of the
problems, and the date you expect to transmit the report to this
Office.

    This Office will be following up on the late filing of reports
submitted by PAS officials and DAEOs.  To assist us in this effort,
we ask that you note any agency-granted filing extensions on the
official's SF 278 cover sheet.  Finally, we request your assistance
in providing us with changes to this list as they occur throughout
the year.  Although agencies are not required to provide such
periodic information, we have found that the receipt of this
information on an ongoing basis enables us to compile more accurate
annual filing lists.

    The DAEOgram of January 11, 1995, (DO-95-002), attached a
specimen photocopy of the newly revised SF 278.  This edition of
the form bears rose shading and a revision date of June 1994.  The
Federal Supply Service has begun to stock this new edition, but
existing supplies of the gold-shaded version will continue to be
distributed and should be used until depleted.  The SF 278 stock
number remains unchanged (NSN 7540-01-070-8444).  

    The revised form maintains the same basic organization and
content as the earlier versions.  The revisions and changes have 
helped to clarify the form and to make it more user-friendly.  The
changes to the form are identified in the DAEOgram of January 11,
1995. 

    If you have any questions, please contact Tom Zorn, Chief,
Program Assistance Division, or your OGE Desk Officer at (202) 523-
5757.
