Title: ●Department of Agriculture Supplemental Standards of Ethical Conduct Issued Jointly With the Concurrence of the Office of Government Ethics | |
Abstract:
The Department of Agriculture (USDA), with the concurrence of the U.S. Office of Government Ethics (OGE), seeks comments on proposed amendments to the Supplemental Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Department of Agriculture (USDA Supplemental Regulation). The proposed amendments revise and update policies originally written in 2000, to supplement the OGE Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch (OGE Standards of Conduct). This amendment will ensure the continuation of a comprehensive and effective ethics program at USDA that better serves the USDA community and addresses ethics issues unique to USDA. The proposed amendments to the USDA Supplemental Regulation include changes in the following topic areas: 1) additional limitations on the outside practice of law for compensation by Departmental lawyers, and 2) providing standards permitting Departmental attorneys to engage in voluntary pro bono legal work serving the community. |
