MEMORANDUM
TO:
Designated Agency Ethics Officials
FROM:
Stephen D. Potts
Director
SUBJECT:
New Confidential Financial Disclosure Form (OGE Form 450)
Attached is the new Office of Government Ethics (OGE) Form 450, which replaces the green SF
450. It is now ready for use as the primary means of collecting confidential disclosure reports in
the executive branch under subpart I of 5 C.F.R. part 2634, as authorized by section 107(a) of
the Ethics in Government Act and Executive Order 12674.
A draft of OGE Form 450 was circulated by DAEOgram on April 20, 1995, and we provided
notice in the Federal Register on September 1 and December 6, 1995. We made clarifications to
the draft, based on comments received, and the form has now received final clearance through
the Office of Management and Budget, under the Paperwork Reduction Act.
The primary purpose of revising the SF 450 and replacing it with OGE Form 450 was to
incorporate the 1993 regulatory change that eliminated reporting of deposit accounts, money
market funds and accounts, and U.S. Government obligations and securities. The new form also
rearranges and expands instructions, gives examples, makes minor changes to the personal data
sections, provides more space for Part I, and simplifies the reporting of excepted investment
funds.
Conversion to an OGE document for uniform use, rather than a standard form, streamlined the
approval process. It has also eliminated the Federal Supply Service as a source of forms.
Therefore, each agency should reproduce its own supplies of OGE Form 450 locally, using the
attached copy for printing or photocopying. Note that this form is intended to be reproduced
with black printing on white paper, without any color shading.
If you would like to print supplies of OGE Form 450 electronically, please contact your OGE
Desk Officer for a diskette or for information on downloading from OGE's ethics bulletin board
(TEBBS).
We hope that this new form will be more user-friendly for both filers and reviewers. We also
anticipate that local reproduction will be cost-effective and will promote availability. You may
