Sec.  1000.30  What prohibitions regarding conflict of interest are 

applicable?



    (a) Applicability. In the procurement of supplies, equipment, other 

property, construction and services by recipients and subrecipients, the 

conflict of interest provisions of 24 CFR 85.36 shall apply. In all 

cases not governed by 24 CFR 85.36, the following provisions of this 

section shall apply.

    (b) Conflicts prohibited. No person who participates in the 

decision-making process or who gains inside information with regard to 

NAHASDA assisted activities may obtain a personal or financial interest 

or benefit from such activities, except for the use of NAHASDA funds to 

pay salaries or other related administrative costs. Such persons include 

anyone with an interest in any contract, subcontract or agreement or 

proceeds thereunder, either for themselves or others with whom they have 

business or immediate family ties. Immediate family ties are determined 

by the Indian tribe or TDHE in its operating policies.

    (c) The conflict of interest provision does not apply in instances 

where a person who might otherwise be included under the conflict 

provision is low-income and is selected for assistance in accordance 

with the recipient's written policies for eligibility, admission and 

occupancy of families for housing assistance with IHBG funds, provided 

that there is no conflict of interest under applicable tribal or state 

law. The recipient must make a public disclosure of the nature of 

assistance to be provided and the specific basis for the selection of 

the person. The recipient shall provide the appropriate Area ONAP with a 

copy of the disclosure before the assistance is provided to the person.
