Sec. 73.735-706  Teaching, lecturing, and speechmaking.

    (a) Employees are encouraged to engage in teaching and lecturing 
activities which are not part of their official duties when certain 
conditions are met. These conditions, which apply to outside teaching 
and lecturing (including giving single addresses such as commencement 
and Memorial Day speeches) whether or not done for compensation, are:
    (1) No Government-financed time, or Government supplies not 
otherwise available to the public, are used in connection with such 
activity;
    (2) Government travel or per diem funds are not used for the sole 
purpose of obtaining or performing such teaching or lecturing;
    (3) Such teaching or lecturing is not dependent on specific 
information which would not otherwise be available to the public;
    (4) Teaching, lecturing, or writing may not be for the purpose of 
the special preparation of a person or class of persons for an 
examination of the Office of Personnel Management or Board of Examiners 
for the Foreign Service, that depends on information obtained as a 
result of the employee's Government employment, except when that 
information has been made available to the general public or will be 
made available on request;
    (5) Such activities do not involve knowingly instructing persons on 
dealing with particular matters pending before Government organizations 
with which the employee is associated in an official capacity;
    (6) Advance approval is obtained when required by paragraph (b) of 
this section.
    (b) Advance approval. Advance approval must be obtained in 
accordance with Sec. 73.735-708 of this subpart before an employee may:
    (1) Teach or lecture for an institution which has or is likely to 
have official dealings with the bureau or comparable organizational unit 
in which he or she is employed;
    (2) Use, for teaching or lecturing purposes, clinical case records 
or other material of a confidential nature or to which access is limited 
for persons outside the Government. Such use will not be permitted 
unless made under safeguards established by the operating component to 
retain the confidentiality of the material, and such use is determined 
to be in the public interest.
