MEMORANDUM
TO: Designated Agency Ethics Officials, General Counsels
and Inspectors General
FROM: Stephen D. Potts
Director
SUBJECT: Annual Update of 18 U.S.C. § 207(c) Component
Designations
The Director of the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) is
authorized by 18 U.S.C. § 207(h) to designate separate departmental
and agency components for purposes of 18 U.S.C. § 207(c), the one-
year post-employment restriction applicable to "senior" employees.
Procedures for the designation of components are prescribed in
5 C.F.R. § 2641.201(e). Current component designations are set
forth in Appendix B of part 2641.
Designated Agency Ethics Officials are required by
section 2641.201(e)(3)(ii) to forward to OGE by November 30 of each
year "a letter stating whether components currently designated
should remain designated . . . ." If your department or agency
currently has components that are designated for purposes of
18 U.S.C. § 207(c) and no changes are needed, please confirm in
writing that the current list of designations in Appendix B does
not require revision. Any request to modify the existing list of
components should be submitted in accordance with the procedures
set forth in section 2641.201(e). We ask that each "parent"
department or agency submit a consolidated response on behalf of
all of its components. You need not reply if your department or
agency currently has no designated components and you do not wish
to request the designation of any component.
