Don’t follow this advice…we’re here to help
Why should you get advice from an Ethics Counselor?You will receive “Safe harbor” If an employee seeks advice before taking action, makes a full and accurate disclosure of the facts and circumstances and acts in good faith reliance upon the advice of the Ethics Counselor, administrative disciplinary action for violating the Standards of Ethical Conduct will not be taken against the employee if the ethics advice is later determined to be incorrect The Fine Print: Ethics Attorneys always remain representatives of the Federal Government; ethics advice does not create an attorney-client relationship

Newport News Woman Pleads Guilty to Conflict of Interest at NASAFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 2, 2010 NEWPORT NEWS, Va. – Patricia M. Biondolillo, 50, of Newport News, Va., pleaded guilty today to using her position as a NASA employee to gain employment for her husband at the Langley Research Center. Neil H. MacBride, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, made the announcement after the plea was accepted by United States Magistrate Judge Tommy E. Miller. Biondolillo pled guilty to a one count criminal information charging her with using her official position with NASA Langley to secure and advance her husband’s employment at the Langley Research Center. Sentencing has been set for Sept. 23, 2010. Biondolillo faces a maximum penalty of one year in prison and a $100,000 fine. In a statement of facts filed with her plea agreement, Biondolillo admitted that she was employed by NASA as a Human Resources Specialist (HRS) and Co-op Program Coordinator (CPC) at the Langley Research Center, in Hampton, Va. As part of her job, she screened USAJOBS and inquired at Langley for possible employment for her husband, Elmar R. Koldert. Thereafter, she used non-public information concerning a job opening to introduce her husband’s resume to the selecting official for that position. She failed to disclose her relationship to the prospective employee and pressured university officials to expedite her husband’s admission and therefore, employment at Langley. Despite being directed to not involve herself in the employment process, she continued to be involved, specifically, regarding the issue of his pay grade. The defendant and her husband had a substantial financial interest in securing a position at Langley. … Patricia Biondolillo participated personally and substantially in her husband's application for a co-op student position at Langley. She used non-public information concerning a job vacancy to introduce his resume for the purpose of having it provided to the selecting official for that position and intentionally failed to disclose her relationship to the prospective employee to the selecting official. She used her official position to pressure university officials for the purpose of accelerating her husband’s admission and employment at Langley in spite of having been directed by her supervisor not to involve herself in such activity. Although the defendant had again been directed not to involve herself in the employment processing for her husband, she reinserted herself into the process, specifically regarding the issue of his pay grade determination. Biondolillo and her husband had a financial interest in her husband’s application for a co-op student position at Langley. Her husband’s potential salary and benefits as a NASA employee were a substantial financial interest to both the defendant and to her husband. They both also had a direct financial interest in increasing his starting pay grade at Langley once he had been selected for the position. She was charged with violating 18 U.S.C. § 208. She entered into a plea agreement on June 2, 2010 and pleaded guilty to violating 18 U.S.C. § 208. She was sentenced on September 23, 2010 to one year of probation, a $5,000 fine, and a $25.00 special assessment.
Impartiality – Appearance of a Conflict of Interest5 C.F.R. § – (includes two tests) An employee is disqualified from participating a particular matter where the employee: knows that a matter is likely to have a direct and predictable effect on the financial interest of a member of his household OR knows that a person with whom he has a covered relationship is or represents a party to such matter and the circumstances would cause a reasonable person with knowledge of the relevant facts to question his impartiality Broader application and reach than the criminal conflict of interest statute
Covered RelationshipsAn employee has a covered relationship with: A person, other than prospective employer, with whom the employee has or seeks a business, contractual or other financial relationship (other than routine consumer transaction); Members of the household and relatives with whom the employee has a close personal relationship; A person for whom the employee’s spouse, parent or dependent child serves as an officer, director, trustee, general partner agent, attorney, consultant, contractor or employee; Former business partners, clients, and employers (within last year or last two years if received extraordinary severance payment); Organizations in which the employee is an active member. When there is a covered relationship, there is a presumption that the employee’s impartiality will be questioned

Restrictions on Partisan Political Activities of CiviliansHATCH ACT Restrictions on Partisan Political Activities of Civilians
HATCH ACT Restrictions on Partisan Political ActivitiesRULE: The Hatch Act restricts partisan political activities of civilian DoD employees. DoD policy further restricts the partisan political activities of certain political appointees. Military Personnel: Have similar rules which are described in DoD Directive , Political Activities by Members of the Armed Forces
Hatch Act – Political ActivitiesPresumptive penalty for violation of the Hatch Act is removal The Hatch Act divides employees into two categories: “more restricted” and “less restricted” More restricted employees includes: Presidential appointees confirmed by the Senate; non-career and career Senior Executive Service employees; Members of the Contract Appeals Board; and employees of NSA, DIA, NGA (e.g., strictly limited). All other employees are considered “less restricted” employees.
Definitions Political Activity is an activity directed toward the success or failure of: a political party; a candidate for partisan political office (beginning with fundraising or declaration of candidacy); OR a partisan political group Non-Partisan. Any activity not associated with the success of a political party or candidate for partisan political office.

TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE Scenario 1: Brad receives a hilarious that spoofs the current candidates for President on his DoD account while at work. Has Brad violated the Hatch Act? POSSIBLE ANSWERS: No, simply receiving a partisan political while at work, does not constitute prohibited political activity as defined under the Hatch Act. However, Brad must not send or forward the to others. Yes, receiving any partisan s on government computer constitutes prohibited political activity as defined under the Hatch Act. No, Brad has not violated the Hatch Act. The Act prohibits employees from engaging in an activity directed toward the success or failure of a political party, candidate for partisan political office or partisan political group while in a Federal building. Simply receiving an at work is not a violation. This is because, in theory, we cannot control what may be sent to us at work. However, it would be a violation for you to forward political s – including – jokes and humorous s – to other people from your DoD account. The only exception to this rule, is that you may forward a partisan from your DoD account to your personal account. Finally, you may not forward partisan s from your personal account while using DoD equipment or while in a Federal building.

STOCK Act On March 22, 2012, Congress passed the “Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge” (STOCK) Act; President signed on April 4, 2012 The legislation was originally aimed at prohibiting Congressional insider trading Six distinct ethics obligations added that apply to disclosure filers in the Executive Branch In his 2012 State of the Union address the President said “Send me a bill that bans insider trading by members of Congress: I will sign it tomorrow.
STOCK Act: Mortgages on Personal ResidencesEffective immediately: FO/GO and PAS appointees must report personal residence mortgage (for 278 reports filed on or after April 4, 2012) Reportable mortgage info should be on Schedule C Part I (the liabilities section) Other public filers may continue to rely on exception in C.F.R (b)(2), i.e., no reporting unless residence generates rent Reportable info should be included on Schedule C Part I. Disclose name of lender, terms and conditions of loan. Filers are not required and should NOT disclose the location of the residence(s). If no rental income, personal residence should not be reported on Schedule A.
STOCK Act: Post Government Employment Notification and RecusalEffective immediately, all OGE 278 filers must submit a “notification statement” when engaged in negotiation for future employment, within 3 days of negotiation Notification statement must include: employee’s signature name of entities involved in negotiations date negotiation commenced A template is available – contact OGC E&F if needed ( Notification to ethics counselor and supervisor Must also file a recusal when there is a conflict of interest OGE 278 filers may not directly negotiate or have any agreement of future employment or compensation unless within 3 business days after the commencement or such negotiation or agreement, he or she files a signed statement identifying the name of the private entity involved and the date such negotiations or agreement commenced; OGE 278 filer must recuse whenever there is a conflict of interest, or appearance of a conflict of interest, with respect to the subject matter of the statement.

This will require paradigm shift: filers will be warned but need to take responsibility to protect personally identifiable info like: SSNs, names of spouse and children, brokerage account numbers, # of shares, personal address, home phone number, etc. Over reporting could have a real and personal impact on a filer. References to a spouse or dependent child should be reflected by (S) or (DC) instead of identifying them by given name.
