Sec. 200.735-106  Outside employment and other activities.

    (a) An employee may engage in outside employment or other outside 
activity not incompatible with the full and proper discharge of the 
duties and responsibilities of his Government employment: Provided, That 
no Commissioner shall actively engage in any other business, vocation, 
or employment than that of serving as a Commissioner (19 U.S.C. 
1330(c)). Incompatible activities include but are not limited to:
    (1) Acceptance of a fee, compensation, gift, payment of expense, or 
any other thing of monetary value in circumstances in which acceptance 
may result in, or create the appearance of, conflicts of interest; or
    (2) Outside employment tending to impair the employee's capacity to 
perform his Government duties and responsibilities in an acceptable 
manner.
    (b) An employee (except a special Government employee) shall not 
receive any salary or anything of monetary value from a private source 
as compensation for his services to the Government (18 U.S.C. 209).
    (c) Employees are encouraged to engage in teaching, lecturing, and 
writing that is not prohibited by law, the Executive order, or this 
part. However, an employee shall not, either for or without 
compensation, engage in teaching, lecturing, or writing, including 
teaching, lecturing, or writing for the purpose of the special 
preparation of a person or class of persons for an examination of the 
Civil Service Commission or Board of Examiners for the Foreign Service, 
that is dependent on information obtained as a result of his Government 
employment, except when that information has been made available to the 
general public or will be made available on request, or when the 
Commission gives authorization for the use of nonpublic information 
(other than information received in confidence) on the basis that the 
use is in the public interest and would not be in violation of law. In 
addition, Commissioners shall not receive compensation or anything of 
monetary value for any consultation, lecture, discussion, writing, or 
appearance the subject matter of which is devoted substantially to the 
responsibilities, programs, or operations of the Commission, or which 
draws substantially on official data or

ideas which have not become part of the body of public information.
    (d) This section does not preclude an employee from:
    (1) Participation in the activities of national or State political 
parties not proscribed by law.
    (2) Participation in the affairs of, or acceptance of, an award for 
a meritorious public contribution or achievement given by a charitable, 
religious, professional, social, fraternal, nonprofit educational and 
recreational, public service, or civic organization.
