OFFICE OF GOVERNMENT ETHICS
Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request: Proposed
Somewhat Revised OGE Form 201
Ethics Act Access Form
AGENCY: Office of Government Ethics
(OGE).
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: The Office of Government
Ethics has submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) a
somewhat revised OGE Form 201 used

executive branch public financial
reports and other covered records for
three-year approval under the
Paperwork Reduction Act. This
proposed somewhat revised version of
the form will replace the existing one.
DATES: Comments by the agencies and
the public on this proposal are invited
and should be received by December 9,
2002.

Mr. Stuart Shapiro, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs,

 Federal Register / Vol. 67, No. 217 / Friday, November 8, 2002 / Notices
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office
of Government Ethics has submitted to
OMB under the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. chapter 35), a
proposed somewhat revised OGE Form
201 ‘‘Request to Inspect or Receive
Copies of SF 278 Executive Branch
Personnel Public Financial Disclosure
Reports or Other Covered Records’’
(OMB control # 3209–0002).
The Office of Government Ethics, as
the supervising ethics office for the
executive branch of the Federal
Government under section 109(18)(D) of
the Ethics in Government Act (the
Ethics Act), 5 U.S.C. app. § 109(18)(D),
is planning to modify and update the
existing access form. That form, the
OGE Form 201, collects information
from, and provides certain information
to, persons who seek access to SF 278
reports and other covered records. The
form reflects the requirements of the
Ethics Act and OGE’s implementing
regulations that must be met by a person
before access can be granted. These
requirements relate to information about
the identity of the requester, as well as
any other person on whose behalf a
record is sought, and a notification of
prohibited uses of SF 278 reports. See
section 105(b) and (c) of the Ethics Act,
5 U.S.C. app. § 105(b) and (c), and 5 CFR
2634.603(c) and (f) of OGE’s executive
branchwide regulations thereunder.
Executive branch departments and
agencies are encouraged to utilize the
OGE Form 201, but they can, if they so
choose, continue to use or develop their
own forms as long as they contain all
the required information.
The revisions proposed to part I of the
OGE Form 201 would create: more
space for requesters to enter their name,
address, and organization; received date
and filled date blocks for agency use to
facilitate internal administrative
processing; and a type of applicant
block to make internal processing easier.
The Office of Government Ethics is also
proposing a couple of minor stylistic
changes to the form title (to pluralize
the references to SF 278 reports and
other covered records) and to reflect the
new 2002 edition date, in addition to
updating the OGE paperwork contact
official to reflect recent OGE
organizational changes.
Also, OGE proposes to add reference
in part III of the form, on ‘‘other covered
records,’’ to two additional types of
records that requesters may obtain by
submitting the OGE Form 201. These
types of ‘‘covered records’’ are: cover
letters for OGE-approved gifts reporting
waiver requests and cover letters for
OGE-approved public reporting waiver
requests for certain less than 130-day
special Government employees. See
VerDate 0ct<31>2002 16:24 Nov 07, 2002 Jkt 200001
sections 102(a)(2)(C) and 101(i) of the
Ethics Act, 5 U.S.C. app. §§ 102(a)(2)(C)
and 101(i) and 5 CFR 2634.304(f)(2) and
2634.205(b)(4) of OGE’s executive
branchwide regulations thereunder.
In addition, OGE proposes to modify
the Privacy Act Statement in part II of
the form. The Office of Government
Ethics is in the process of updating the
OGE/GOVT–1 system of records notice
(covering SF 278 Public Financial
Disclosure Reports and other name-
retrieved ethics program records, and in
which completed OGE Form 201s can
be maintained). As a result, the Privacy
Act Statement, which includes
paraphrases of the routine uses, on the
proposed modified OGE Form 201 will
be revised. A summary of the
anticipated changes relevant to that
OGE Form 201 statement has been
prepared for inclusion with the mark-up
copy of the form as proposed for
revision, which is available from OGE
upon request. Once the new language in
OGE’s forthcoming Privacy Act notice is
finalized (anticipated completion date is
early in 2003), OGE will request
permission from OMB to modify the
OGE Form 201 (with notice to OMB at
that time) without further paperwork
clearance even though the final new
wording will take effect after
reclearance of the renewed form.
In part II of the form, OGE notes that
it will adjust the referenced civil
monetary penalty for prohibited uses of
an SF 278 to which access has been
gained when it is again adjusted in the
next year or two. The penalty, under
section 104(a) of the Ethics Act, 5 U.S.C.
app. § 104(a), will likely be raised from
the current $11,000 figure once OGE
and the Department of Justice issue their
next respective inflation adjustment
rulemakings, anticipated in the summer
or fall of 2003, in accordance with the
1996 Debt Collection Improvement Act
revisions to the 1990 Federal Civil
Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act. See
28 U.S.C. 2461 note. The civil monetary
penalty was last adjusted in 1999 (see
OGE’s final rule at 64 FR 47095–47097
(August 30, 1999) and the Justice
Department’s final rule as codified at 5
CFR 85.3(a)(4) in particular, at 64 FR
47099–47104 on the same date). The
future OGE rulemaking will again revise
5 CFR 2634.703 of the executive branch
financial disclosure regulation to reflect
the adjusted penalty. The Office of
Government Ethics will request
permission from OMB to revise the OGE
Form 201 penalty amount reference
once that adjustment takes effect (with
notice to OMB at that time) without
further paperwork clearance, even
though the adjustment occurs after
reclearance of the revised form.
PO 00000 Frm 00048 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\08NON1.SGM
68133
Moreover, any periodic future
adjustments to that civil monetary
penalty, pursuant to further rulemakings
by OGE and the Justice Department
under the inflation adjustment laws,
will also be reflected in future editions
of the form.
Since publication of the first round
paperwork notice, and upon further
evaluation of the business process
associated with the OGE Form 201, OGE
is withdrawing two of its previously
proposed modifications to the form, and
is proposing additional minor revisions
to the form. The Office of Government
Ethics proposes these further revisions
to facilitate internal administrative
processing and to expedite the transfer
of copies of the records to the requester.
These further proposed changes are
described in detail below. The mark-up
copy of the OGE Form 201 as proposed
for revision, which is available from
OGE (see the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section above), shows all the
changes that would be made.
The Office of Government Ethics
proposes adding OGE’s address, phone
number, and fax number to the form
header, moving the form number and
edition date to the end of the form title,
and moving the OMB control number to
the lower right-hand corner of the first
page of the form.
Also, in part I of the form, OGE
proposes withdrawing OGE’s initial
proposal of including an office FAX
number block and request date block.
Moreover, OGE proposes adding a date
field in the applicant’s signature block
and creating a block for applicants to
indicate whether they would like to
pick up the requested records or have
OGE mail the records to them.
Furthermore, OGE proposes removing
the word ‘‘Optional’’ in the office
telephone number block.
In addition, in part II of the form
(Notice of Action), OGE proposes
removing the ‘‘Other. Explanation:’’
block and adding a signature and date
block for persons picking up the
requested records.
Finally, under part II.C (Public
Burden Information) of the form, OGE
proposes replacing the phrase ‘‘upper
right-hand corner’’ with ‘‘lower right-
hand corner’’ to reflect the proposed
location of the OMB control number.
In light of OGE’s experience over the
past three years (1999–2001), with a
total of 667 non-Federal access requests
received, the estimate of the average
number of access forms expected to be
filed annually at OGE by members of the
public (primarily by news media, public
interest groups and private citizens) is
proposed to be adjusted from the
current estimate of 172 to 222 (not
08NON1
 68134 Federal Register / Vol. 67, No. 217 / Friday, November 8, 2002 / Notices
counting access requests by other
Federal agencies or Federal employees).
The estimated average amount of time to
complete the form, including review of
the instructions, remains at ten minutes.
Thus, the overall estimated annual
public burden for the OGE Form 201 for
forms filed at OGE will increase from 29
hours in the current OMB paperwork
inventory listing (172 forms × 10
minutes per form—number rounded off)
to 37 hours (222 forms × 10 minutes per
form—number rounded off). For the
entire executive branch, OGE estimates
that the overall usage of the form each
year will average some 1,600.
The Office of Government Ethics
expects that the revised form should be
ready, after OMB clearance, for
dissemination to executive branch
departments and agencies in the winter
of 2002. The OGE Form 201 as revised
will continue to be made available free-
of-charge as a downloadable Portable
Document Format (PDF) file to the
public as well as departments and
agencies on OGE’s Internet Web site
(Uniform Resource Locator address:
http://www.usoge.gov). The Office of
Government Ethics will continue to
permit departments and agencies to use
the copy of the OGE Form 201 available
on OGE’s Web site or to develop and
utilize their own, electronic versions of
the OGE form, provided that they
precisely duplicate the original to the
extent possible. Agencies can also
develop their own access forms,
provided all the information required by
the Ethics Act and OGE regulations is
placed on such forms, along with the
appropriate Privacy Act and paperwork
notices with any attendant clearances
being obtained by the agencies therefor.
For now, OGE itself accepts filing of
a completed OGE Form 201 by mail,
FAX, or in person, but does not permit
E-mail or Internet online transmission.
Similarly, requested copies of reports or
other covered records are supplied by
OGE as hard (paper) copies.
On June 19, 2002, OGE published its
first round notice of the forthcoming
request for paperwork clearance for the
proposed somewhat revised OGE Form
201. See 67 FR 41728–41729). The
Office of Government Ethics did not
receive any comments in response to
that notice, though one agency
requested a copy of the proposed
revised form.
In this second notice, public comment
is again invited on the proposed
somewhat revised OGE Form 201 as set
forth in this notice, including
specifically views on: the need for and
practical utility of this proposed
modified collection of information; the
accuracy of OGE’s burden estimate; the
VerDate 0ct<31>2002 16:24 Nov 07, 2002 Jkt 200001
enhancement of quality, utility and
clarity of the information collected; and
the minimization of burden (including
the use of information technology). The
Office of Government Ethics, in
consultation with OMB, will consider
all comments received, which will
become a matter of public record.
Approved: November 1, 2002.
