of Contents

 

Sec. 300.9  Permanent disqualification of employees from matters in 

which they personally participated before joining DOT or the Civil 

Aeronautics Board.



    Any DOT employee shall permanently disqualify himself or herself 

from participation in every matter before the Department in which he or 

she previously personally and substantially participated for an 

interested person or entity, including other agencies of the United 

States Government, before joining the DOT or the Civil Aeronautics 

Board. Such disqualification shall be applicable also if a person is 

closely related to is a DOT employee as partner, associate, employer, or 

the like, personally and substantially participated in a matter before 

DOT prior to the employee's employment by the Department or the Civil 

Aeronautics Board and the circumstances were such that the DOT 

employee's subsequent participation in the matter as a DOT employee 

could fairly be said to create the appearance that his or her 

participation would be affected by his or her prior relationship. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the disqualification of any DOT employee, 

including any member of a DOT employee's personal staff or a special 

Government employee, whose prior personal and substantial participation 

in a DOT or Civil Aeronautics Board proceeding or whose relationship to 

one who so participated occurred on behalf of another agency of the 

United States Government shall only be applicable with respect to issues 

on which the prior governmental employer took a position in the 

proceeding unless participation could fairly be said to create the 

appearance that his or her participation would be affected by his or her 

prior relationship.
