Sec. 820.4  Conflict of interest.

    A DOE Official may not perform functions provided for in this part 
regarding any matter in which he has a financial interest or has any 
relationship that would make it inappropriate for him to act. A DOE 
Official shall withdraw at any time from any action in which he deems 
himself disqualified or unable to act for any reason. Any interested 
person may at any time request the General Counsel to disqualify a DOE 
Official or request that the General Counsel disqualify himself. In the 
case of an enforcement adjudication, a motion to disqualify shall be 
made to the Presiding Officer. The request shall be supported by 
affidavits setting forth the grounds for disqualification of the DOE 
Official. A decision shall be made as soon as practicable and 
information may be requested from any person concerning the matter. If a 
DOE Official is disqualified or withdraws from the proceeding, a 
qualified individual who has none of the infirmities listed in this 
section shall replace him.
