                    TITLE 5--ADMINISTRATIVE PERSONNEL
 
                 CHAPTER XLVII--FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION
 
PART 5701_SUPPLEMENTAL STANDARDS OF ETHICAL CONDUCT FOR EMPLOYEES OF THE 
 
Sec. 5701.102  Fundraising activities.

    When engaging in personal fundraising, as described at 5 CFR 
2635.808(c), an employee of the Federal Trade Commission may, 
notwithstanding the prohibition of Sec. 2635.808(c)(1)(i), personally 
solicit funds from a person who is a prohibited source only under 5 CFR 
2635.203(d)(3) (i.e., because the person ``conducts activities regulated 
by'' the Commission). The other provisions of Sec. 2635.808(c) continue 
to apply to any such personal fundraising.

    Example 1: A Federal Trade Commission employee is president of the 
local branch of her college alumni association. The association is 
seeking contributions from local businesses. The employee may, during 
her off-duty hours, seek a contribution from a company that is regulated 
by the Commission, but not from one that she knows is currently under 
Commission investigation or is seeking official action by the 
Commission, does business or seeks to do business with the Commission, 
or has interests that may be substantially affected by the employee's 
job. While the Standards of Conduct provide that companies under the 
agency's enforcement

authority generally are prohibited sources of an employee's fundraising 
in a personal capacity, Sec. 5701.102 provides that employees of the 
FTC may seek charitable contributions from an entity that is a 
prohibited source only because its activities are subject to agency 
regulation.
