    (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.
