Sec. 10.735-303  Use of inside information.

    (a) A special Government employee shall not use inside information 
obtained as a result of Government employment for private gain for the 
employee or another person either by direct action on the employee's 
part or by counsel, recommendation, or suggestion to another person, 
particularly one with whom the employee has family, business, or 
financial ties. For the purpose of this section, ``inside information'' 
means information obtained under Government authority which has not 
become part of the body of public information.
    (b) A special Government employee may engage in teaching, lecturing, 
or writing that is not prohibited by law, Executive Order 11222 or the 
restrictions in this part; however, a special Government employee shall 
not, either for or without compensation, engage in teaching, lecturing, 
or writing that is dependent on information obtained as a result of his 
Government employment, except when that information has been made 
available to the general public or will be made available, or when the 
head of the agency gives written authoritzation for the use of nonpublic 
information on the basis that the use is in the public interest. A 
special Government employee who wishes to request the agency head to 
authorize the use of nonpublic information should submit such request 
through the Counselor. The request should contain complete information 
concerning the nonpublic information which the employee wishes to 
disclose and should contain in addition an indication of the intended 
use of such information and how disclosure of it would be in the public 
interest.
