employed by the Federal government.
    (b) Special Government employee means an individual who is retained, 
designated, appointed, or employed to perform temporary duties either on 
a full-time or intermittent basis, with or without compensation, for not

    (c) Person means an individual, a corporation, a company, an 
association, a firm, a partnership or any other organization.
    (d) Former employee means a former employee of HHS or former special 
Government employee as defined in paragraph (b) of this section.

in the Department's General Administration Manual. In addition, when 
used in these regulations, it includes the Office of the Secretary.
    (f) Department means the Department of Health and Human Services.
