apply to the employees of the Court

§ 8001.102 Prior approval for outside 

employment. 

(a) Prior approval requirement. An 

employee, other than a special 

Government employee, must obtain 

written approval from the employee’s 

immediate supervisor and the 

Designated Agency Ethics Official 

(DAEO) before engaging in any outside 

employment, whether or not for 

compensation. 

(b) Definition of employment. 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. It 

does not, however, include participation 

in the activities of a nonprofit 

charitable, religious, professional, 

social, fraternal, educational, 

recreational, public service, or civic 

organization, unless the participation 

involves the provision of professional 

services or advice for compensation 

other than reimbursement for actual 

expenses, the organization’s activities 

are devoted substantially to matters 

relating to the employee’s official 

duties, or involves conduct prohibited 

by statute or Federal regulation, 

including 5 CFR part 2635 and 

paragraph (c) of this section. 

(c) Standard of approval. Approval 

shall be granted only upon a 

determination that the outside 

employment or activity is not expected 

to involve conduct prohibited by statute 

or Federal regulation, including 5 CFR 

part 2635. The employee’s immediate 

supervisor and the DAEO shall approve 

or deny the employee’s request for prior 

approval of outside employment within 

seven (7) calendar days of receiving 

from the employee complete 

information necessary to make such a 

determination. 

(d) Scope of approval. Approval will 

be for a period of three years, after 

which the employee must request 

renewed approval in accordance with 

this section. If during the approved 

three-year period there is a significant 

change in the nature or scope of the 

outside employment or in the 

employee’s Agency position or duties, 

the employee shall submit a renewed 

request for approval within ten (10) 

calendar days of the change. 

(e) Submission of application. The 

employee shall submit the request on a 

form provided by the DAEO through the 

employee’s immediate supervisor. The 

request must be submitted not less than 

ten (10) calendar days prior to the date 

the proposed employment will begin, in 

order to allow for completion of the 

review before the anticipated start of the 

outside employment. The form shall set 

forth at the minimum the description of 

the employee’s current position; 

information on the prospective 

employment, including the nature of the 

service to be performed, the anticipated 

date, and number of hours of work per 

week; whether the prospective employer 

has any contractual relationship with 

the Federal government; whether the 

employee will come in contact with 

defendants, offenders, family members, 

or their representatives in the course of 

the outside employment; whether the 

prospective employment involves any 

criminal justice matters; whether the 

employee will be required to testify as 

an expert witness in any matter related 

to the prospective employment; and 

whether the prospective employment 

involves solicitation or advertising 

services. 

(f) Appeal. If the Designated Agency 

Ethics Official denied the request, the 

employee may appeal that decision to 

the Agency Director.

Deputy Director, Court Services and Offender 

Supervision Agency.
