Code of Federal Regulations Title 22. Foreign Relations § 22.710.2 Action on receipt of information regarding violation

On receipt of information regarding a possible violation of the statutory or regulatory post-employment restrictions by a former DFC employee and after determining that such information does not appear to be frivolous, the President of DFC or the President's designee shall provide such information to the Director of the Office of Government Ethics and to the Criminal Division, Department of Justice. Any investigation or administrative action shall be coordinated with the Department of Justice to avoid prejudicing possible criminal proceedings. If the Department of Justice informs DFC that it does not intend to institute criminal proceedings, such coordination shall no longer be required and DFC shall be free to pursue administrative action.
