Submission for OMB Review: Comment Request, 35513-35514 [E7-12522]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 124 / Thursday, June 28, 2007 / Notices a reasonable person with knowledge of the relevant facts the belief that the Board Member’s ability to carry out adjudicatory responsibilities with integrity, impartiality, and competence is impaired. Prohibitions against behaving with impropriety or the appearance of impropriety apply to both the professional and personal conduct of a Board Member. A Board Member must be mindful that even private conduct and associations can reflect upon the Board Member’s office and affect the public’s confidence in the immigration court system and the Board of Immigration Appeals. Accordingly, a Board Member should not, for example, be a member of an organization that practices invidious discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion or national origin. Membership of a Board Member in such an organization may give rise to perceptions that the Board Member’s impartiality is impaired. Whether an organization practices invidious discrimination is often a complex question to which Board Members should be sensitive. The requirement that Board Members abstain from public comment regarding a pending or impending proceeding continues during any appellate process and until final disposition of the matter. The requirement does not prohibit Board Members from making appropriate comments in open court or in written filings in the course of their official duties. Comments made to other Department of Justice employees in the course of official business do not constitute ‘‘public’’ comments.
