§ 600.735-2 Scope.

The policies and procedures contained in this subpart apply to all NSF employees.

§ 600-735-3 Statutory provisions.

Each employee is responsible for acquainting himself not only with the provisions of this subpart, but also with applicable portions of each Federal statute relating to his conduct as an employee of

the Foundation and of the U.S. Government. The Personnel Office will call this subpart to the attention of all employees at least once a year and will provide a copy of the part to each new full-time employee who joins the Foundation. (A list of pertinent statutes is provided in the Appendix to this part.)

§ 600.735-4 Policy.

view Panel.

To assist the Director in making judgments regarding conflicts-of-interest situations, there is hereby established a Conflicts-of-Interest Review Panel, which is assigned duties and responsibilities as set forth in § 600.735-7. The Panel consists of the General Counsel as Chairman, the Deputy Director, and the Associate Directors for Education, Planning, and Research. (The Director may specify other or additional members from time to time. The Assistant to the Administrative Manager is designated as Executive Secretary of the Panel.

§ 600.735-6 Conflicts-of-Interest Counselor.

The attorney in the Office of the General Counsel who has responsibilities for conflicts-of-interest matters is designated the Conflicts-of-Interest Counselor, with responsibilities for providing, on request from any Foundation employee, counsel regarding conflicts-ofinterest regulations and requirements, as well as their applicability in particular situations. Each Foundation employee is responsible for seeking the advice of the Conflicts-of-Interest Counselor whenever it appears that he may be, or may become, involved in a possible conflict-of-interest situation. Any supervisor in the Foundation may refer to the Conflicts-of-Interest Counselor any possible conflict-of-interest situation involving a subordinate of his whenever he deems such action appropriate. In such cases the subordinate concerned shall be informed that the matter has been referred for consideration and shall be afforded the opportunity to state his case.

§ 600.735-7

Resolution of possible con

flicts-of-interest situations.

(a) The General Counsel. The General Counsel is responsibile for reviewing conflicts-of-interest matters brought to his attention by the Executive Secretary of the Panel or the Conflicts-of-Interest Counselor, and for attempting to work with the employees concerned in resolving such situations, and for offering employees an opportunity to explain any conflict or appearance of conflict. He is responsible for bringing to the attention of the Panel any conflicts-of-interest situation that has not in his opinion been satisfactorily resolved through the above procedures. He will not, however, refer to the Panel, nor will the Panel consider any conflicts-of-interest matter which the General Counsel believes to be a violation of law. He will refer such matters to the Director for decision and appropriate action. Remedial action, whether disciplinary or otherwise, shall be effected in accordance with any applicable laws, Executive orders, and regulations.

(b) Conflicts-of-Interest Panel. The Panel will consider those matters brought to its attention by the General Counsel, will direct the Executive Secretary to obtain any additional information deemed necessary, and will state in writing the conclusions it reaches. The Chairman of the Panel may refer any conflicts-of-interest matter to the attention of the Director whenever this appears desirable, as, for example, in a case where the Panel is unable to reach a unanimous judgment upon a matter which has been referred to it. Similarly, if an employee disagrees with the outcome of the Panel's deliberations, he may bring the matter to the attention of the Director for his consideration and such action as the Director may deem appropriate.

(c) Disciplinary and other remedial actions. When there is a final decision that a conflict-of-interest situation requires disciplinary or other remedial action, such action shall be taken promptly to end the conflict or appearance of conflict of interest and to carry out any appropriate disciplinary measure. action taken, whether disciplinary or otherwise, shall be effected in accordance with applicable laws.
