Circular Letter No. 515

October 23, 2002

TO: Printing and Publishing Officials of the Federal Government

SUBJECT: Rider Orders for The Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch, revised as of October 2, 2002

The U.S. Office of Government Ethics (OGE) has announced the reprinting of The Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch. This easy-to-read format of the regulation at 5 C.F.R. part 2635 includes all OGE amendments made through October 2, 2002. Because OGE anticipates a large demand for this booklet, the Government Printing Office (GPO) is distributing this information by Circular Letter to help ensure that agencies receive this information in a timely manner.

Please note that your requisitions (SF-1s) for this product are due to GPO no later than November 22, 2002. Be sure to indicate the number of copies needed for all of the activities in your organization and include OGE requisition number 2-00045 and GPO jacket number 492-793 on your requisitions.

Although the rider rate for this publication has not yet been determined, your requisition prior to production allows the printing of these copies during the regular press run. This results in substantial savings, which we are then able to pass along to you. The rider rate will depend on the total amount of copies ordered for this publication, but we anticipate that it will be between $5 and $15 per copy. (Please note that this rate will apply to single destination, local delivery orders only. Mailing costs, if incurred, will comprise an additional charge.) Field or regional activities should coordinate their requirements with their Washington, DC, area headquarters' printing officers before submitting any paperwork.

The OGE has also announced that this booklet can be downloaded from the Forms, Publications & Other Ethics Documents section of their Web site at www.usoge.gov. If you have any questions about the information contained in this Circular Letter, please contact your GPO Account Representative or call the Departmental Account Representative Division on 202-512-0238. If you require information about OGE's requisition for this publication, contact Kaneisha Cunningham, OGE Management Assistant, on 202-208-8000, extension 1180.
