Sec. 1.3000  Purpose and scope.

    The purpose of this subpart is to implement the Telecommunications 
Authorization Act of 1992 which amended the Communications Act by 
creating section 4(g)(3), 47 U.S.C. 154(g)(3). The provisions of this 
subpart shall apply to gifts, donations and bequests made to the 
Commission itself. Travel reimbursement for attendance at, or 
participation in, government-sponsored meetings or events required to 
carry out the Commission's statutory or regulatory functions may also be 
accepted under this subpart. The acceptance of gifts by Commission 
employees, most notably gifts of food, drink and entertainment, is 
governed by the government-wide standards of employee conduct 
established at 5 CFR part 2635. Travel, subsistence and related expenses 
for non-government-sponsored meetings or events will continue to be 
accepted pursuant to the Government Employees Training Act, 41 U.S.C. 
4111 or 31 U.S.C. 1353, and its General Services Administration's 
implementing regulations, 41 CFR 304-1.8, as applicable.
