Sec. 905.735-402  Advice and determination.

    The Corporation's Ethics Counselor is readily available for 
consultation when a Board Member seeks advice as to the appropriateness 
of his actions in light of this part, the Executive order, or title 18 
U.S.C., chapter 11. A Board Member has an affirmative duty to advise the 
Ethics Counselor of any potential conflict of interest which may arise 
with the individual's participation in any particular matter before the 
Corporation. If advised to do so, the Board Member should submit to the 
Chairman for determination the question of whether or not the conflict 
will disqualify the Board Member from participating in the action to be 
taken by the Corporation. Under the authority delegated to the Chairman 
pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 208(b), the Chairman may find that the Board 
Member need not be disqualified from participating in the particular 
matter, if:

    (a) The Board Member makes a full disclosure of the financial 
interest; and
    (b) The Chairman furnishes him with a written determination in 
advance of the action that the interest is not so substantial as to be 
deemed likely to affect the integrity of the services which the 
Government may expect from the Board Member. Requests for similar 
determinations for conflicts posed by the financial interests of the 
Chairman himself shall be submitted to the Chairman of the Civil Service 
Commission.
