BOP Program Statement 3420.14 § 17
SEEKING OTHER EMPLOYMENT
A Bureau employee who wishes to seek employment with persons who would be affected by the
performance or nonperformance of the employee’s official duties is required to disqualify
themselves from participation in any matter that will have a direct and predictable effect on the
financial interests of the person with whom they are negotiating. In order for an employee to
disqualify themselves, they must first seek approval from their supervisor to confirm they can
complete their duties in a state of recusal.
When an employee is not actually negotiating for employment, but lacks impartiality in dealing
with a prospective employer, the employee should disqualify themselves.
A Bureau employee who is or should be aware of the need to disqualify themselves from
participation in a particular matter must contact their supervisor and request in writing to be
removed from the matter.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
