MEMORANDUM

TO:       Designated Agency Ethics Officials

FROM:     Jack Covaleski
          Deputy Director for Agency Programs

SUBJECT:  Yearly Update of the List of Executive Branch Officials
          Required to File Annual Public Financial Disclosure
          Reports with the Office of Government Ethics (OGE)

     Title I of the Ethics in Government Act of 1978, as amended,
requires annual public financial disclosure reports (SF 278) to be
filed with the appropriate department or agency no later than
May 15.  The SF 278s of Presidential appointees confirmed by the
Senate (PAS) and Designated Agency Ethics Officials (DAEO) must be
submitted to this Office for final review and certification. 
Attached is a list of the names and positions of those officials
who were required to submit a nominee, new entrant, or annual
SF 278 either last year or late in 2001.

     Please annotate this list to reflect any changes (additions or
deletions) to the officials named or positions identified.  We
would also appreciate it if you would make the following notations:
     
     •    If any official transferred from the position,
          indicate whether or not the official transferred
          within 30 days to another covered position (PAS or
          non-PAS) requiring SF 278 reporting.
     
     •    Indicate which officials did not work more than 60
          days in CY 2002 and thus are not required to file
          an annual report.
     
     •    Add to the list the names of any PAS special
          Government employees who actually worked in excess
          of 60 days in CY 2002 at an annual rate of basic
          pay equivalent to 120 percent of GS-15, step 1,
          which equaled $99,096 (or $379.84 per day) in
          CY 2002.
     
     •    Add the names of any Presidential recess appointees
          to PAS positions.  Do not however, include the
          names of officials serving temporarily in PAS
          positions in an acting capacity; their reports are
          not required to be submitted to this Office.


     Please return the list, as annotated, to this Office by
May 15, 2003.  For your convenience, you may e-mail or fax (202-
208-8038) your annotated list to the OGE staff members noted below. 
In addition, if there are no changes to your list, you may e-mail
