All > Business > Finance > Personal Finance
- Under the conflict of interest statute, 18 U.S.C. § 208, a waiver permits an employee to participate in specified Government matters which would otherwise conflict with private financial interests. Section 208(b)(1) and (b)(3) of the statute details the conditions under which a waiver may be granted. It must be issued in writing by the employee's appointing official or delegate. (The statute also provides, in section 208(b)(2), for exemptions by OGE regulation, for certain remote or inconsequential financial interests common to a large number of employees.)
