Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 133 / Wednesday, July 11, 2018 / Notices
102 of the Ethics in Government Act, 5
U.S.C. app. sec. 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.
In 2013, OGE sought and received
approval for the OGE Form 278e, an
electronic version of the Form 278,
implemented pursuant to the e-filing
system mandated under section 11(b) of
the STOCK Act. The OGE Form 278e
collects the same information as the
OGE Form 278. In 2014, OGE sought
and received approval to incorporate the
OGE Form 278e into its new Integrity efiling application. Integrity has been in
use since January 1, 2015, and OGE now
requires filers to use a version of the
OGE Form 278e rather than the old OGE
Form 278. The version of the Form 278e
that is produced by Integrity is a
streamlined output report format that
presents only the filer’s inputs in given
categories and does not report other
categories not selected by the filer.
On October 5, 2016, OGE published a
proposed rule for amending 5 CFR part
2634. See 81 FR 69204–69238 (October
5, 2016). The proposed modifications to
the OGE Form 278e revise the
instructions to reflect the changes to the
financial disclosure regulation, if
adopted as final. Specifically, OGE
proposes to: Revise the reporting period
for termination reports to include the
entire preceding calendar year if a
required annual report has not been
filed; revise the income disclosure
requirement to include only received
income; revise the ‘‘widely diversified’’
criterion for purposes of determining
whether a fund qualifies as an
‘‘excepted investment fund;’’ add a new
feature (checkbox) for purposes of
managing early termination report filing
on the Integrity version of the Form
278e; clarify the Definition section of
Part 2; clarify when a source of
compensation need not be disclosed and
the method for disclosing the existence
of such sources; and eliminate the
disclosure of transactions that occurred
before the reporting individual became
subject to the public financial disclosure
requirements.
OGE is also proposing to update the
Privacy Act statement in accordance
with changes to the applicable system of
records and to make certain minor
formatting changes and corrections to
the instructions and one of the data
entry fields.
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.

Abstract: The OGE Form 450 collects
