  Subpart B_Rules Governing Compliance With Subpoenas, Summonses, and 
 
Sec.  230.13  Why are restrictions on Office of Inspector General

employees in civil proceedings necessary?

    The restrictions are intended to reduce the risk of inappropriate 
disclosures that might affect the operations of the Office of Inspector 
General; prevent the expenditure of Office of Inspector General or 
Postal Service resources for private purposes; and ensure that employee 
time is serving the best interests of the public.
