Sec. 10.735-217  Requesting exceptions from certain statutory prohibitions.

    (a) Any employee desiring a written advance determination that the 
prohibitions of 18 U.S.C. 208(a) do not apply will prepare a written 
request addressed to an appropriate agency official. For purposes of 
this section, the appropriate agency official is: The Deputy Under 
Secretary for Management for State, the Administrator for AID, and the 
Director for ICA. The request will describe the particular matter giving 
rise to the conflict of interest, the nature and extent of the 
employee's anticipated participation in the particular matter, and the 
exact nature and amount of the financial interest related to the 
particular matter.
    (b) The employee will forward the request to the appropriate agency 
official through the immediate supervisor and the assistant agency head 
in charge of the organizational agency component to which the employee 
is assigned, or will be assigned in the case of a new employee. The 
assistant agency head

will forward the written request to the appropriate agency official 
through the agency's Counselor. The Counselor shall attach a written 
opinion to the request, prepare a recommended written determination in 
final form for signature by the appropriate agency official, and shall 
forward all documents to that official.
    (c) The determination of the appropriate agency official will be 
sent to the employee by the Counselor. If the appropriate agency 
official grants the requested exception, the original written advance 
determination will be sent to the employee. A duplicate original shall 
be retained among the appropriate agency records under the control of 
the Counselor.
