PART 1016--POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR INFORMATION DISCLOSURE AND COMMISSION EMPLOYEE TESTIMONY IN PRIVATE LITIGATION--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 1016.1  Purpose and policy.

    (a) The Commission's policy is to make official records available to 
private litigants, to the fullest extent possible.
    (b) The Commission's policy and responsibility is to conserve the 
time of its employees for work on Commission projects and activities. 
Participation of Commission employees in private litigation, in their 
official capacities, is generally contrary to this policy and 
responsibility. In addition, such participation could impair the 
effectiveness of Commission employees as witness in litigation in which 
the Commission is directly involved.
