            TITLE 48--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATIONS SYSTEM
 
                     CHAPTER 9--DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
 
Sec. 970.0371-6  Incompatibility between regular duties and private 

interests.

    (a) Employees of a management and operating contractor shall not be 
permitted to make or influence any decisions on behalf of the contractor 
which directly or indirectly affect the interest of the Government, if 
the employee's personal concern in the matter may be incompatible with 
the interest of the Government. For example: An employee of a contractor 
will not negotiate, or influence the award of, a subcontract with a 
company in which the individual has an employment relationship or 
significant financial interest; and an employee of a contractor will not 
be assigned the preparation of an evaluation for DOE or for any DOE 
contractor of some technical aspect of the work of another organization 
with which the individual has an employment relationship, or significant 
financial interest, or which is a competitor of an organization (other 
than the contractor who is the individual's regular employer) in which 
the individual has an employment relationship or significant financial 
interest.
    (b) The contractor shall be responsible for informing employees that 
they are expected to disclose any incompatibilities between duties 
performed for the contractor and their private interests and to refer 
undecided questions to the contractor.
