Sec. 706.23  Review of reports.



    (a) Financial reports are reviewed by the Commission's designated 

Ethics official or the Director of the Office of Government Ethics, as 

appropriate. Reports are to be reviewed within 60 days after the date of 

their filing or transmittal to the Office of Government Ethics.

    (b) After reviewing a report, the reviewing official is required to:

    (1) State upon the report that the reporting individual is in 

compliance with applicable laws and regulations and to sign the report;

    (2) Notify the reporting individual that additional information is 

required to be submitted and the time by which it must be submitted; or

    (3) Notify the reporting individual that the report indicates 

noncompliance and afford the individual a reasonable opportunity for a 

written or oral response after which the reviewing official reaches an 

opinion whether the individual is in compliance.

    (c) If the reviewing official determines that the reporting 

individual is not in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, 

the reviewing official will notify the individual of that opinion and 

after an opportunity for personal consultation notify the individual of 

the steps that should be taken to assure compliance and the date by 

which such steps should be taken.

    (d) The use of any steps to bring the individual in compliance are 

to be in accordance with regulations issued by the Director of the 

Office of Government Ethics.

    (e) To assist employees in avoiding situations in which they would 

not be in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, the 

designated Commission ethics official is to maintain a list of those 

circumstances or situations that have resulted or may result in 

noncompliance and the lists are to be periodically published and 

furnished to individuals required to file reports under this Act.
