REPRESENTATION
A. A criminal statute provides that:
•
You must not represent someone else before the Government on any specific party matter in which you have
participated as a Government employee.
•
If you have been employed by NSF for more than sixty days in a 365-day period, you must not represent
anyone in dealings with NSF officials on any specific party matter.
This law also bars you from accepting fees from such representation done by others.

Act.

Has interests that may be substantially affected by the performance of your official duties; or
