It sets forth requirements for the disclosure of such interests by OSHRC employees. In addition, it states basic principles regarding employees' conduct on the job and the ethics of their relationship to OSHRC as their employer. This part applies to all regular and special Government employees except to the extent otherwise indicated herein. For the purpose of this part:

This part, among other things, reflects prohibitions and requirements imposed by the criminal and civil laws of the United States. However, the paraphrased restatements of criminal and civil statutes in no way constitute an interpretation of construction thereof that is binding upon the Federal Government. Moreover, this part does not purport to paraphrase or enumerate all restrictions upon or requirements of Federal employees. The omission of a reference to any such restriction or requirement in no way alters the legal effect of that restriction or requirement.
