                    TITLE 5--ADMINISTRATIVE PERSONNEL
 
               CHAPTER XL--INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION
 
PART 5001_SUPPLEMENTAL STANDARDS OF ETHICAL CONDUCT FOR EMPLOYEES OF THE 
 
Sec. 5001.104  Prior approval for outside employment.

    (a) Before engaging in any outside employment, whether or not for 
compensation, an employee of the Interstate Commerce Commission, other 
than a Commissioner, must obtain the written approval of his or her 
supervisor and the Designated Agency Ethics Official (DAEO). Requests 
for approval shall be forwarded through normal supervisory channels to 
the DAEO and shall include, at a minimum, the following:
    (1) A statement of the name of the person, group, or other 
organization for whom the work is to be performed; the type of work to 
be performed; and the proposed hours of work and approximate dates of 
employment;
    (2) The employee's certification that the outside employment will 
not depend in any way on information obtained as a result of the 
employee's official Government position;
    (3) The employee's certification that no official duty time or 
Government property, resources, or facilities not available to the 
general public will be used in connection with the outside employment;
    (4) The employee's certification that he or she has read, is 
familiar with, and will abide by the restrictions contained in all 
applicable Federal laws and regulations, including those found in 18 
U.S.C. chapter 11 and those found or referenced in subpart H (``Outside 
Activities'') of 5 CFR part 2635 (Standards of Ethical Conduct for 
Employees of the Executive Branch); and
    (5) The written approval of the employee's immediate supervisor.
    (b) Approval shall be granted only upon a determination that the 
outside employment is not expected to involve conduct prohibited by 
statute or Federal regulation.
    (c) For purposes of this section, ``employment'' means any form of 
non-Federal employment, business relationship or activity involving the 
provision of personal services by the employee, whether or not for 
compensation. It includes but is not limited to personal services as an 
officer, director, employee, agent, attorney, consultant, contractor, 
general partner, trustee, teacher or speaker. It includes writing when 
done under an arrangement with another person for production or 
publication of the written product. Prior approval is not required, 
however, to participate in the activities of a nonprofit charitable, 
religious, professional, social, fraternal, educational, recreational, 
public service, or civic organization, unless such activities involve 
the provision of professional services or advice or are for compensation 
other than reimbursement for expenses.
