{"abstract":"The Office of Government Ethics is removing obsolete executive branch regulatory provisions implementing the statutory honorarium bar, which is no longer legally operative. In addition, OGE is removing related executive branch regulatory provisions concerning a dormant special reporting requirement for payments to charitable organizations in lieu of honoraria. That reporting requirement is being subsumed (for those few to whom it may apply) as part of the overall executive branch financial disclosure regulation, but will remain inactive for now, pending further examination. For conformity with these changes, OGE is also making minor technical amendments to regulatory provisions covering the overall executive branch financial disclosure system and the statutory restrictions for certain employees on outside earned income, employment and affiliations.","action":"Final rule; technical amendments and removals.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"OFFICE OF GOVERNMENT ETHICS","name":"Government Ethics Office","id":215,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/government-ethics-office","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/215","parent_id":null,"slug":"government-ethics-office"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/1998/08/12/98-20829.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":2634,"title":5},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":2636,"title":5}],"citation":"63 FR 43067","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"These technical amendments and removals are effective August 12, 1998, except that Sec. 2634.302(a)(2) is stayed indefinitely until OGE makes a final determination about its status.
