Ethics Statement
To maintain the highest levels of
honesty, integrity, and ethical conduct,
no committee or subcommittee member
may participate in any ‘‘specific party
matters’’ (for example, matters are
narrowly focused and typically involve
specific transactions between identified
parties) such as a lease, license, permit,
contract, claim, grant, agreement, or
related litigation with USDA in which
the committee or subcommittee member
has a direct financial interest. This
includes the requirement for committee
or subcommittee members to
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 262001
immediately disclose to the Designated
Federal Officer (DFO) (for discussion
with USDA’s Office of Ethics) any
specific party matter in which the
member’s immediate family, relatives,
business partners or employer would be
directly seeking to financially benefit
from the committee’s recommendations.
All members will receive ethics
training to identify and avoid any
actions that would cause the public to
question the integrity of the committee’s
advice and recommendations. Members
who are appointed as ‘‘Representatives’’
are not subject to Federal ethics laws
because the appointment allows them to
represent the point(s) of view of a
particular group, business sector or
segment of the public.
Members appointed as ‘‘Special
Government Employees’’ (SGEs) are
considered intermittent Federal
employees and are subject to Federal
ethics laws. SGE’s are appointed due to
their personal knowledge, academic
scholarship, background or expertise.
No SGE may participate in any activity
in which the member has a prohibited
financial interest. Appointees who are
SGEs are required to complete and
submit a Confidential Financial
Disclosure Report (OGE–450 form) via
the FDonline e-filing database system.
Upon request USDA will assist SGEs in
preparing these financial reports. To
ensure the highest level of compliance
with applicable ethical standards USDA
will provide ethics training to SGEs on
an annual basis. The provisions of these
paragraphs are not meant to
exhaustively cover all Federal ethics
laws and do not affect any other
statutory or regulatory obligations to
which advisory committee members are
subject.

rights law and U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) civil rights

Committee have taken into account the
needs of the diverse groups served by
