Purpose(s)
+ The purpose of the system is to collect, generate, maintain, and disclose the information necessary to administer the provisions of the OGE legal expense fund (LEF) regulation at
5 CFR part 2635, subpart J. This includes, but is not limited to, obtaining information relevant to a conflict-of-interest determination and disclosing information on the OGE website pursuant to the regulation. It contains information from executive branch employees establishing legal expense funds as well as information regarding legal expense fund trustees, donors, and payees. It also contains related information collected or generated by OGE or other agencies in the process of collecting, reviewing, tracking, maintaining, and disclosing legal expense fund records. The system of records also permits agencies and OGE to share legal expense fund information with each other as necessary to administer the provisions of the regulation and permits the posting of such information on OGE's website as required by the regulation. Although all beneficiaries must be current executive branch employees at the time the legal expense fund is created, information may be collected or remain in the system of records after the employee beneficiary has left employment with the executive branch.
