SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Executive Branch Personnel
Public Financial Disclosure Report.
Form Number: OGE Form 278.
OMB Control Number: 3209–0001.
Type of Information Collection:
Extension with modifications of a
currently approved collection.
Type of Review Request: Regular.
Respondents: Private citizen
Presidential nominees to executive
branch positions subject to Senate
confirmation; other private citizens who
are potential (incoming) Federal
employees whose positions are
designated for public disclosure filing;
those who file termination reports from
such positions after their Government
service ends; and Presidential and VicePresidential candidates.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 1,394.
Estimated Time per Response: 3
hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
4,182 hours.
Abstract: The OGE Form 278 collects
information from certain officers and
high-level employees in the executive
branch for conflicts of interest review
and public disclosure. The form is also
completed by individuals who are
nominated by the President for highlevel executive branch positions
requiring Senate confirmation and new
entrants to other public reporting
positions in the executive branch. The
financial information collected relates
to: assets and income; transactions; gifts,
reimbursements and travel expenses;
liabilities; agreements or arrangements;
outside positions; and compensation
over $5,000 paid by a source—all
subject to various reporting thresholds
and exclusions. The information is
collected in accordance with section
102 of the Ethics in Government Act, 5
U.S.C. app. section 102, as amended by
the Stop Trading on Congressional
Knowledge Act of 2012 (Pub. L. 112–
105) (STOCK Act), and OGE’s
implementing financial disclosure
regulations at 5 CFR part 2634. OGE is
proposing to make minor modifications
to the paper version of the OGE Form
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:01 Sep 06, 2013
Jkt 229001
278 to update the Privacy Act Statement
and the legal authorities under which
the information is collected. OGE
proposes to include in this renewal
submission the new OGE Form 278e, an
electronic version to be implemented in
January 2014, pursuant to the e-filing
system mandated under section 11(b) of
the STOCK Act. (See Amendments to
the STOCK Act Pub. L. 113–7 (April 15,
2013)). The OGE Form 278e will collect
the same information that both the
current paper version of the OGE Form
278 collects, as well as the 14 e-filing
systems that are currently in use in
executive branch agencies. Although the
OGE Form 278e will not collect any
additional information, the application
will produce a streamlined output
report format that presents only the
filer’s inputs in given categories, and
that does not report other categories not
selected by the filer.
Request for Comments: Agency and
public comment is invited specifically
on the need for and practical utility of
this information collection, the accuracy
of OGE’s burden estimate, the
enhancement of quality, utility and
clarity of the information collected, and
the minimization of burden (including
the use of information technology).
Comments received in response to this
notice will be summarized for, and may
be included with, the OGE request for
extension of OMB paperwork approval.
The comments will also become a
matter of public record.
Approved: August 30, 2013.

Director, Office of Government Ethics.

case-management, ESL and other social
services) to refugees, asylees, Amerasian
Immigrants, Cuban and Haitian
Entrants, Trafficking Victims and Iraqi/
