    All requests for authorizations required under this part shall be

    (c) Where authorizations involve speaking, writing, or teaching, use 
of the official title of the employee for identification purposes may be 
authorized, provided the employee makes it clear that his statements and 
actions are not of an official nature.
    (d) If an authorization has been granted for a specific activity or 
interest, and the activity or interest is subsequently deemed to 
constitute a violation of the limitations or requirements prescribed in 
or pursuant to this part, the employee concerned shall be notified in 
writing of the cancellation of the authorization and shall modify or
