Sec.  805.735-14  Specific regulations for special Government employees.

    (a) Use of Board affiliation. A special Government employee of the 
Board shall not use his Government employment for a purpose that is, or 
gives the appearance of being, motivated by the desire for private gain 
for himself or another person, particularly one with whom he has family, 
business, or financial ties.
    (b) Use of inside information. (1) A special Government employee 
shall not use inside information obtained as a result of his employment 
by the Board for private gain for himself or another person, either by 
direct action on his part or by counsel, recommendation, or suggestion 
to another person, particularly one with whom he has family, business, 
or financial ties. For this purpose of this section, ``inside 
information'' means information obtained under Government authority 
which has not become part of the body of public information.

manner not inconsistent with Sec.  805.735-7(c) for employees.

business with the Board, anything of value such as a gift, gratuity, 
loan, entertainment, or favor for himself or another person, 
particularly one with whom he has family, business, or financial ties.
    (2) The exception as set forth in Sec.  805.735-5(b) for employees 
will apply with equivalent force and effect to special Government 
employees with regard to the prohibitions of paragraph (a) of this
