2016 AGENCY ETHICS PROGRAM QUESTIONNAIRE


PART 1. INTRODUCTION

Executive branch agencies are required to submit an annual report to the United States Office of Government Ethics (OGE) concerning certain aspects of their ethics programs (Section 402(e)(1) of the Ethics in Government Act of 1978, as amended). Your response(s) to OGE’s Annual Ethics Program Questionnaire (Questionnaire) serve as your annual report.

OGE uses the data collected through the Questionnaire about the entire executive branch ethics program in many ways, including sharing information about the program with the public, Congress, and the ethics community. OGE also uses the information to carry out its oversight role, to gain knowledge about individual programs as well as the overall ethics program, and to make informed decisions about resource allocations and priorities. OGE posts a summary of Questionnaire responses as well as each agency’s unedited responses on OGE’s website. Therefore, please ensure your responses are suitable for publication.

OGE encourages each agency to use the annual exercise of completing the Questionnaire as an opportunity to evaluate your ethics program.

DUE DATE: By regulation, the Questionnaire is due to OGE by February 1, 2017. (5 CFR § 2638.602(a)).

PART 2. INSTRUCTIONS

Your response to this Questionnaire should reflect the 2016 calendar year (i.e., 1/1/2016 through 12/31/2016), except where specified. The answers provided should reflect the aggregated numbers for your agency in total. OGE will only accept one submission per agency.

Throughout the Questionnaire you will be offered an opportunity to provide comments or explanations for your responses. Please use these comment sections to explain any discrepancies between levels of required activity and actual activity. These comment sections should also be used to explain significant changes from your 2015 report. After OGE has reviewed your Questionnaire submission, you may be contacted for follow-up.

If you have any questions, please contact Brandon Steele, Associate Counsel, at (202) 482-9209 or at basteele@oge.gov.

How do I save a draft of my response?

At a minimum, you must choose your agency from the drop down menu and add an email address in the point of contact section at the end of the Questionnaire. Then you can select “Click Exit and Save a Draft”. You will be prompted to click “Okay”. The next screen will have your unique link to the survey. You can either bookmark, save the link as a favorite, or copy the link and save it in a secure location. The questionnaire application will also send an email with the link, but spam filtering may prevent the email from getting through. Please wait for the email before leaving the saved draft page if you have not otherwise saved the link.

How do I access my saved draft and edit the Questionnaire?

Copy and paste your unique hyperlink into your browser or choose the link from your favorites tab on your browser. Select “Edit Questionnaire”. You many now begin to edit your Questionnaire response.

    Example: For new entrant reports: If an employee starts with the agency on December 15, 2016, and files a new entrant report prior to the end of the calendar year, then you can include the report in your required and filed numbers. If, on January 1, the employee has not filed a new entrant report, then you do not have to count that report in your required numbers, because it was was not required to be filed until January 15. You instead would include the employee in your 2017 Questionnaire’s new entrant numbers in 2018.
