and lecturing (including giving single addresses such as commencement

    (1) No Government-financed time, or Government supplies not 

otherwise available to the public, are used in connection with such 

activity;

    (2) Government travel or per diem funds are not used for the sole 

purpose of obtaining or performing such teaching or lecturing;

    (3) Such teaching or lecturing is not dependent on specific 

information which would not otherwise be available to the public;

    (4) Teaching, lecturing, or writing may not be 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, that depends on information obtained as a 

result of the employee's Government employment, except when that 

information has been made available to the general public or will be 

made available on request;

    (5) Such activities do not involve knowingly instructing persons on 

dealing with particular matters pending before Government organizations 

with which the employee is associated in an official capacity;

    (6) Advance approval is obtained when required by paragraph (b) of 

this section.

    (b) Advance approval. Advance approval must be obtained in

to be in the public interest.
