Sec. 706.11  Proscribed outside employment and other activities.



    (a) An employee shall not engage in outside employment or other 

outside activity not compatible with the full and proper discharge of 

the duties and responsibilities of Government employment. Incompatible 

activities include but are not limited to:

    (1) Acceptance of a fee, compensation, gift, payment of expense, or 

any other thing of monetary value in circumstances in which acceptance 

may result in, or create the appearance of conflict(s) of interest; or

    (2) Outside employment that tends to impair mental or physical 

capacity to perform Governmental duties and responsibilities in an 

acceptable manner.

    (b) An employee shall not receive any salary or anything of monetary 

value from a private source as compensation for service to the 

Government as prohibited by 18 U.S.C. 209.

    (c) Employees are encouraged to engage in teaching, lecturing, and 

writing that is not prohibited by law, the Executive order, or 

Commission regulations. An employee shall not, either for or without 

compensation, engage in teaching, lecturing, or writing, including 

teaching, lecturing, or writing 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, which depends on information obtained as a result of Government 

employment, except when that information has been made available to the 

general public or will be made available on request or when the agency 

head gives written authorization for use of nonpublic information on the 

basis that the use is in the public interest. In addition, an employee 

who is a Presidential appointee covered by section 401(a) of the order 

shall not receive compensation or anything of monetary value for any 

consultation, lecture, discussion, writing, or appearance the subject 

matter of which is devoted substantially to the responsibilities, 

programs, or operations of the Commission or which draws substantially 

on official data or ideas that have not become part of the body of 

public information.

    (d) This section does not preclude an employee from:

    (1) Participation in the activities of national or State political 

parties not proscribed by law;

    (2) Participation in the affairs of or acceptance of an award for a 

meritorious public contribution or achievement given by a charitable, 

religious, professional, social, fraternal, nonprofit educational and 

recreational public service, or civic organization; or

    (3) Outside employment permitted under the regulations in this part.
