                CHAPTER XVI--OFFICE OF GOVERNMENT ETHICS
 
PART 2608_TESTIMONY BY OGE EMPLOYEES RELATING TO OFFICIAL INFORMATION AND 
 
      Subpart B_Requests for Testimony and Production of Documents
 
Sec.  2608.208  Restrictions that apply to released records.

    (a) The General Counsel may impose conditions or restrictions on the 
release of official records and information, including the requirement 
that parties to the proceeding obtain a protective order or execute a 
confidentiality agreement to limit access and any further disclosure. 
The terms of the protective order or of a confidentiality agreement must 
be acceptable to the General Counsel. In cases where protective orders 
or confidentiality agreements have already been executed, OGE may 
condition the release of official records and information on an 
amendment to the existing protective order or confidentiality agreement.
    (b) If the General Counsel so determines, original OGE records may 
be presented for examination in response to a demand or request, but 
they are not to be presented as evidence or otherwise used in a manner 
by which they could lose their identity as official OGE records, nor are 
they to be marked or altered. In lieu of the original records, certified 
copies will be presented for evidentiary purposes (see 28 U.S.C. 1733).
