PART 3801_SUPPLEMENTAL STANDARDS OF ETHICAL CONDUCT FOR EMPLOYEES OF THE 
 
Sec. 3801.104  Purchase or use of certain forfeited and other property.

    (a) In the absence of prior approval by the agency designee, no 
employee shall purchase, directly or indirectly, from the Department of 
Justice or its agents property forfeited to the United States and no 
employee shall use property forfeited to the United States which has 
been purchased, directly or indirectly, from the Department of Justice 
or its agents by his spouse or minor child. Approval may be granted only 
on the basis of a written determination by the agency designee that in 
the mind of a reasonable person with knowledge of the circumstances, 
purchase or use by the employee of the asset will not raise a question 
as to whether the employee has used his official position or nonpublic 
information to obtain or assist in an advantageous purchase or create an 
appearance of loss of impartiality in the performance of the employee's 
duties. A copy of the written determination shall be filed with the 
Deputy Attorney General.
    (b) No employee of the United States Marshals Service, Federal 
Bureau of Investigation, or Drug Enforcement Administration shall 
purchase, directly or indirectly, from his component, the General 
Services Administration, or the agent of either, property formerly used 
by that component and no such employee shall use property formerly used 
by his component which has been purchased, directly or indirectly, by 
his spouse or minor child from his component, the General Services 
Administration, or to the agent of either.
