Sec. 0.735-23  Employees not required to submit statements.

    (a) Employees in positions that meet the criteria in paragraph (b), 
(c), or (d) of Sec. 0.735-22 may be excluded from the reporting 
requirement when the head of the operating unit concerned determines 
that:
    (1) The duties of a position are such that the likelihood of the 
incumbent's involvement in a conflicts-of-interest situation is remote; 
or
    (2) The duties of a position are at such a level of responsibility 
that the submission of a statement of employment and financial interests 
is not necessary because of the degree of supervision and review over 
the incumbent or the inconsequential effect on the integrity of the 
Government.
    (b) A statement of employment and financial interests is not 
required by this part from the Secretary of Commerce, from the head of 
an independent agency for which the Department of Commerce performs 
administrative services, or from a full-time member of a committee, 
board, or commission appointed by the President. These employees are 
subject to separate reporting requirements under section 401 of 
Executive Order 11222.
