(a) General prohibitions. An employee shall not:
(1) Directly or indirectly, solicit or coerce the offering of a gift,
donation or bequest to the Commission from a regulated entity or other
prohibited source; or
(2) Accept gifts of cash pursuant to this subpart.
(b) Referral of offers to designated agency ethics official. Any person who
seeks to offer any gift to the Commission under the provisions of this
subpart shall make such offer to the Commission's designated agency ethics
official. In addition, any Commission employee who is contacted by a
potential donor or the representative thereof for the purpose of discussing
the possibility of making a gift, donation or bequest to the Commission
shall immediately refer such person or persons to the Commission's
designated agency ethics official. The designated agency ethics official
shall, in consultation with other agency ethics officials, make a
determination concerning whether acceptance of such offers would create a
conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest. Agency
ethics officials may also advise potential donors and their representatives
of the types of equipment, property or services that may be of use to the
