OMB Control Number 3002-0003, expires July 31, 2017
Public members of the Administrative Conference of the United States (ACUS) are deemed to be special government employees within the meaning of 18 U.S.C. § 202(a) and, therefore, are subject to confidential financial disclosure requirements of the Ethics in Government Act, 5 U.S.C. App. § 107, and U.S. Office of Government Ethics (OGE) regulations. Under ACUS Bylaws § 302.5, Avoidance of Conflicts of Interest, non-government senior fellows, special counsels, and liaison representatives are subject to the same confidential financial disclosure requirements as public members.
This form is a substitute for OGE Form 450, which ACUS public members otherwise would be required to file. It was approved by the Director of the Office of Government Ethics following a determination by the ACUS Chairman, pursuant to 5 C.F.R. § 2634.905(a), that greater disclosure by public members is not required because the duties of a member make remote the possibility that a real or apparent conflict of interest will occur.
As required by the Ethics in Government Act, 5 U.S.C. App. § 107(a); Executive Order 12674, § 201(d); and OGE regulations, 5 C.F.R. § 2634.901(d), this report will be held in strict confidence.
