49 C.F.R. § 805.735-24 Review of financial statements.
Title 49 - Transportation
(a) The Personnel Officer shall review each statement of employment and financial interests submitted under the regulations in this part (other than his own, which is reviewed by the Managing Director) to determine whether conflicts of interest or apparent conflicts of interest exist. If the review, or other information from other sources, indicates a conflict between the interests of an employee or special Government employee and the performance of his services for the Board, the Personnel Officer shall forward the statement, together with a position description of the employee involved, to the General Counsel of the Board. (b) The employee or special Government employee whose statement has been referred under the provisions of paragraph (a) of this section will receive, from the General Counsel, advice and guidance regarding the matters questioned by the Personnel Officer. He will be afforded an opportunity to explain the conflict or appearance of conflict. It is expected that most problems will be settled at this informal stage. However, if an agreement cannot be reached after consultation, the matter shall be reported by the General Counsel, after consulting with the Managing Director, to the Chairman for resolution. (c) The Chairman may provide the employee or special Government employee concerned with an additional opportunity to explain the conflict or appearance of conflict. If the matter cannot be resolved, the Chairman may invoke the disciplinary provisions of §805.735–27, or may decide that remedial steps shall be taken with regard to such employee or special Government employee. When the questions of conflict of interest are resolved at one of the stages of review, the reviewing official shall sign and date a copy of the employee's statement to evidence his clearance, and this statement shall thereafter be kept as provided in §805.735–21.
