Specifically, the statute prescribes criminal penalties for any employee or offlcer whO,after he terminates hIs employment. knowingly makes, with the Intent to influence, anycommunication with or appearance before any person employed by the United States,on behalf of another In connection with a paiflcUlar matter. The particular matter mustbe one In which (a) the United States Is a party or has a direct and slJbstantiaJ fnterest;(b) the person partldpated personally and sub$tantially.as an employee or officer; and(c) there was a specific party Involved at 1he time of such participatIon.

To participate "'personally means directly, and includespartic:lpation of asubordinate if actually directed by you fn fhematter.."'Substantially" means that your Involvement is ofstgnificance to the matter. orforms a basis fora reasonable appearance of such slgnificar'lC8. It requires more thanofficial responslblfity., knowledge, perfunotory Involvement,.ot InVolvement on anadmInistrative or peripheral rssue. A finding of substantiality may be b'ased not only onthe effort devoted to a matte'r, buron the irnportanceoftheeffort, While.s series ofperipheral inv()lvement$ may be InSUbstantial, the single act ofapprOvIng may besullslanUal. In addItion to approval..other acts may arsobe cons.ldered "substantial,"such ,as parUcipation in a critical step.

The term ~ p a r t l c u l a r . m a t t $ f " Includes any Investigation. application. request fora ruling or determination, rul$making. contract, c o n t t o v ~ r s y , claim, charge, a c c l : J ~ \ i o n , arrest, or Judicial or other proceedIng, General rule-making Is usually excluded from theterm "particular maflel', 5inoo general rule--making seldom involves specific part1e.s.C-onsequently.lt is pO$sJble that an empJoyee who partlclpated In a u l e ~ m a k l n 9 whiteemployed by the Government will. after leaving Government service. be able 10 appearbefore his former agency concerning the application of the rule to his new private sectoremployer without vlol,ating the tlfeUme restrictions. The term does not encompass anymatter before the Government; only those matters that arIse to partfoularmatters.rho provision reqUires that anemployee"s off1cial p a r t i Q i p a i j ~ n In ap.articularmatter must have takan p l ~ c e at a time when the matter involved a non-Federal p a r t ~

'(01' parties) ( a J t h o u ~ h these can be different partIes from .. those tnvolved with "the matterat the time of the employee's participation).. .The term "Influence" tncludes any communication to a F e d ~ r a l employee thatmay be intecprsted as an attempt to. persuade that employee to take aotioTi. TherestrIction prohibits only th()6e communiCations 's'nd appearance, that aremade "withthe Intent totn1tuence'" A ...eortlmunlcatlon" can be made orally, inwrillng. orllJrough

An "appearance" extends to a former employee's merephysical presen.ce at a proceeding when the circumstances ma:ke it Clear that hisattendance Is intended to inftuence the United States. An "intent to Influence" theUnited Staws m.ay be found if the commurilcatlon or appesran'oe Is made for thepurpose of seeking a i s c r e t i ~ n a r y G?vemment rul1ng. b a n e ~ t . approval, or o.ther action. ,Ii i Q t ~ I ~ ~ " ' u A i g ~ M W 9 L - ~ q _ I .

The two-year ban begins to run When your Federal employmenUerminatesand applies even If you did not personally parttdpate lO the matter. Again, thIs banapplies to repre$entlng another party before the United States. with intent to infl.uerice.Behlnd...the.seerl"$S or In-house &sslslance is legally permissible.

"Official responsibility" I ' defined as the direct administrative or 'operatingauthorlty. whether intermediate or final r and either exercisable alone or with others, toapprove, disapprove, or otherwise direct Government action. Accordingly, a matter Isunder your "official responsibility if yOU hadthe power, either dlrecttyor ~ l r o u 9 h asubordinate. to approve, disapprove. or otherwise direct -a Govemment action. Thoseareas assigned boy statute; regulation, executive order. or job cfescription usuallydetermin.e the scope of ao employee"s official responslblUty.

b. Two-year retJireseD.tatioD han. 18 U.S.C. 207(aX2) imposes similar restrictions _on anExecutive Branch officer or employee who has a Oovemment contract or other particularmatteractually pending under his official respOnsibility during the oneyear period before thetenninadon of his Government service, which involved a specific party or parties at the time itwas so pending. These restrictions (18 U.S.C. 207(8)(2) last for two years after tennination ofthe employee's Oovemment service. "Officialresponsibitity" is defined as the directadministrative or operating authority, whether intennediateor final. and either exercisable aloneor with others, lind either personally ortbrough subordinates, co approve, disapprove, orotherwise direct Government action. Based upon the information you have provided. intendedemployment with adefense contractor may concern the same particular matter(s) which waspending under your official responsibility while serving as an officer in the Air Force.Accordingly, this two-yearrepreserttation ban may apply. Please be aware that the Departmentof the Air Force does not have authority to issue authoritative opinions on 18 U.S.C. 207, asthis is a federal criminal statute the interpretationof which falls under the jurisdiction of theDepartment of 1ustice.

c. What is prohibited under the Itfetlmeor two-year represen1atlon ban. It should benoted that, if applicable. ISU.S.C. t 207 does not prohibit your employment by a defensec o n t ~ t o r ~ it only limiti communications or appearances with an intent to inRuence theGovernment that are made on behalf of the contractor. Thus, there are no restrictions on"behind-the-scencs' activitics--this means that you could still be employed by a rompany andwork on a contract to which the ban applies. but your communications to any Governmentogeney regarding the matter would be restricted. Finally, the prohibition does not apply to anappearance or communication involving purely social contacts. a request for publicly availabledocuments, or a request for purely factual information or the lupplying of such infonnation.

d. Further I.formation. For additional information regarding the representation ban.including how it applies to Advisory and Assistance Services contractors, please refer to the"Rules on Job-MoodnS and Post Government Employment for Executive Branch Employees"handout. which you have ~ n preViously provided. The applicable statute 18 U.S.C. 1207. hasnot given the Department of the Air F6ree statutory authority to issue authoritative p i n i o n ~ . 4. Conclusion. It is my opinion that, With exception of seekingemployment w i t b ~ b ) ( 6 ) I

)(6) 141 U.S.C. 423 does noc place restrictions on your employment options. The lifetimeand two-year representation bans may apply to your post-governmentempJoyment, if it is theSame particular matter(a) in which you participatedpersonally and substantially (or was withinyour scope of your officiar responsibility) while employed by the government.
