Government Ethics Office
Exempting Certain Career Federal Employees From Ethics Reporting Requirements
Published July 23, 2026. Takes effect July 23, 2026. printed at 91 FR 46239. amending 5 CFR 2634.
Some career staff must file ethics reports. This exempts a group of them.
What the Rule Says It Does
The Office of Government Ethics (OGE) is amending the ethics reporting requirements to preserve the filing status of each position transferred to Schedule Policy/Career as it existed prior to being rescheduled. The effect of this rule will be to continue the exclusion of all Schedule Policy/Career employees who are not otherwise required to file public financial disclosure reports from the requirement to file, which should not adversely affect the integrity of the Government or the public's confidence in the integrity of the Government. Moreover, requiring these employees to file public financial disclosure reports would be unnecessarily burdensome to both agency ethics staff and the employees.
This is the rule's own summary, as the Federal Register prints it.
