OGE is amending the Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch (Standards). The final rule will update the Standards based on OGE’s experience gained from application of the regulation since its inception. The final rule also incorporates past interpretive guidance, adds, and updates regulatory examples, improves clarity, updates citations, and makes technical corrections. In this session, OGE’s General Counsel, David Apol, and OGE’s Chief of the Ethics Law and Policy Branch, Seth Jaffe, will review these amendments and answer questions.
