go U.S. Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Prisons PROGRAM STATEMENT OPI: OGC/ELE NUMBER: 3420.11 DATE: 12/6/2013 Standards of Employee Conduct Is/ Approved: Charles E. Samuels, Jr. Director, Federal Bureau of Prisons I. PURPOSE AND SCOPE To provide policies and procedures, referred to as the "Standards of Conduct," to complement those issued by the Office of Government Ethics on: ■ Employee conduct and responsibility. ■ Ethics in matters involving conflicts of interest. ■ Post-employment restrictions. ■ Procurement integrity issues. ■ Attorney ethics. ■ Outside employment. These standards apply to all employees of the Bureau of Prisons (Bureau), including employees of the Public Health Service and the National Institute of Corrections, and to any person detailed to any of those agencies under the Intergovernmental Personnel Act. Such employees are subject to certain standards and prohibitions — some statutory, some regulatory, and some a matter of good ethical principles that are essential to the efficiency of the organization. Contractors and volunteers working in Bureau facilities also are expected to conduct themselves by these standards, where applicable. EFTA00039156 While issuances from the Office of Government Ethics and the Department of Justice address the basic standards and prohibitions applicable to Bureau employees, this Program Statement more specifically addresses situations that especially apply to Bureau employment.
